I just donated to @libreoffice / The Document Foundation! To keep Open Source Software like #LibreOffice available free for everyone, contribute and donate: libreoffice.org/donate/
I decided not to buy a new PC this #blackfriday due to overpriced #DDR5 #DRAM - thanks AI bros for scalping all the modules, and memory manufacturers for all the (past) cartels. Instead, I chose to #donate to the following #opensource projects, which I use and I am grateful for, and provide clear instructions for donating on their website or in their READMEs, allow one-time donations, and do not require GitHub (Sponsors) account:
The foundation behind #LibreOffice - Lessons learned from 13 years at The Document Foundation. My presentation from the Open Source Conference Luxembourg is now online peertube.opencloud.lu/w/otUXrL…

I want a #SelfHosted web-type Office Suite ala Google Sheets/Docs and I don't want it to be part of some gigantic resource-chewing albatross like #NextCloud
I would like to do all my Word Processing and Spreadsheeting and so forth through a web interface, which is served from my #Debian server (docker is fine) and saves the documents as normal files in a defined directory.
Does such a thing exist? I do NOT need feature-rich, I do not need it to save MSOffice docs that I can send to a printing shop with all bugs intact, I just want to stop losing shit to hard drive wipes, which I'm sorry but nuking my hard drive is a lifestyle choice at this point and I don't care what you think about it.
I have had the thought that maybe #LibreOffice has some sort of plugin or something which could store files in an Object Storage type thingy that I could self-host instead, cause I've been planning to get some sort of bucket online since forever...
We have a new full-time developer! Dan Williams joins the #LibreOffice team, working on design, UI and #UX improvements – with an initial focus on macOS. Of course, everything we do is open source, so you can help him: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #openSource #freesoftware
The Document Foundation is the small non-profit entity behind LibreOffice. It oversees the project and community, and is now expanding with new developer roles.
Hat jemand eine Ahnung, warum in #LibreOffice Calc meine .ods Tabelle (keine Formatierung, keine Formeln, unter 200 Datensätze, 47 KB) beim Speichern als .csv plötzlich absurde 18,5 MB(!) groß wird? Und wie ich das behebe? // Does anyone know why my LibreOffice Calc table (no formatting, no calculations, less than 200 data sets, 47 KB) suddenly blows up to the absurd size of 18.5 MB(!) when I save it as a .csv? And how I can fix this?

Tokyo, Japan – The LibreOffice Asia Conference 2025 is scheduled to take place on December 13-14, 2025, at the Internet Initiative Japan Inc. headquarters in Iidabashi Grand Bloom, Tokyo.
I use #LibreOffice because it is cross platform, doesn't need an account to log in, and is very stable. Several times in the past I have used it to open Microsoft Word documents that were "corrupted" and Word couldn't open them itself, but LibreOffice Writer could!
It also supports an amazing number of file formats, and I have used to amend PDF files without needing an expensive copy of Adobe Acrobat to do simple changes.
There's none of that AI rubbish or annoying prompts trying to get you to upgrade to pointless newer versions.
I use LibreOffice because I don't want to make Bill Gates any richer. It's also much easier to use. I love the clean, comprehensive user interface. Last but not least, interoperability is a huge advantage compared to Microsoft Office.
It's easy enough. I use #LibreOffice because I dislike intensely being tied to a corporate sales machine that wants to monetise my every blink, that over complicates their stuff with bloat and that tries to make my pattern of work fit how they want it to function at this current time, due to the marketing dept whims. And overcharge by pushing us to a rental model.
I use #LibreOffice because it’s a fully functional, free and compatible alternative to the bloated MS office. Your documents are yours. There is no AI being forced on you. Also, the level of interface customisation is great. Quick and easy to install and use.
We’re just over half-way through the Month of LibreOffice, November 2025. And already, 219 contributors have won cool LibreOffice sticker packs! Details on how to claim them will be provided at the end of the month, but if you don’t see your name (or…
It looks like #libreoffice #impress does not react to the forward and back buttons on my mouse at all. Would be very handy to be able to use that as a presenter though. Is there any way I can set this up easily? (And maybe a bug report to make it happen by default?)
@libreoffice is that broken just for me or a missing feature in general?
So I'm using LibreOffice 25.8.2.2 on Fedora Workstation 43 GNOME 49. For some privacy reasons I'll not be able to attach the entire PDF. However, I can show the page 15 that I was trying to open using LibreOffice Draw in image form.
It contains a combination of Bengali & English language and numerals.

@libreoffice Do you know if odfdom-java is maintained? It has a bunch of outdated dependencies, but there seems to be at least some activity in the source repository.
There is also something odd with the versioning, where there is a 1.0.0-beta from 2019, but the latest release is from 2023 is 0.12.0. This causes dependency check tools to be somewhat confused.
Or is there perhaps an alternative library I should be using instead to connect to a running instance of Libreoffice?
Another year of spending nothing on commercial office suites. So time for my yearly donation to Libreoffice as a thank you for the excellent Libre alternative @libreoffice #floss #libreoffice

Libreitalia Conference 2025 was organized by Marco Marega – a LibreItalia and TDF Member – in Gradisca d’Isonzo, near the border with Slovenia, in Gorizia’s province. Gradisca is a very nice fortified city surrounded be beautiful parks.
Independent fromme fromme this or intially, a good start for institutions still hanging in MS365 or so can start with LibreOffice free file formats, so that there is an overall interoperability in data exchange.
Thats mainly replacements for Word, PowerPoint and Excel.
