Hello from the opening session of the LibreOffice Conference 2019! It's great to see so many community members – and we'd like to say a big thanks to our sponsors as well. Check out the full schedule for the next three days here: https://conference.libreoffice.org/2019/program/schedule/

The LibreOffice Conference 2019 begins! Before the main talks start tomorrow, we're having a community meeting to talk about translating LibreOffice and spreading the word. If you're near Almeria, Spain, come and join us: https://conference.libreoffice.org

LibreOffice macros help you to automate simple and complex tasks. Now our community has a dedicated Macro Team to improve the tools, user interface and documentation for them! Check it out: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2019/09/06/libreoffice-has-a-new-macro-team/

LibreOffice 6.3.1 and LibreOffice 6.2.7 are now available – they include bug fixes and security updates, and all users are recommended to update: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2019/09/05/lo-6-3-1-and-lo-6-2-7-announced/

@Gina Great, thanks – bug reports with problematic documents is exactly what our QA community needs! Cheers!

LibreOffice can open documents in many different file formats, and our community is always striving to improve compatibility. We now have a dedicated team working on better PPT/PPTX (PowerPoint) compatibility – learn more and give them a hand! https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2019/09/04/libreoffice-developers-team-up-to-improve-ppt-pptx-powerpoint-file-support/

History time! Check out the green part of this timeline – LibreOffice is a successor to OpenOffice(.org) (and before that, StarOffice). Our community and certified developers keep pumping out a new major release of LibreOffice every six months – a big thanks to them!

Break down digital divides across the globe! Free and open source software – such as LibreOffice – gives everyone access to powerful tools that they can study and share.

@ericbuijs @neildarlow Hi, see here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/General/015

This month, LibreOffice 6.3 was released – but we also attended events, talked to community members, posted updates from the Document Liberation Project, and much more! Join us as we bring software freedom to the world: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2019/08/29/libreoffice-monthly-recap-august-2019/

Don’t get trapped by your office suite! Some software vendors are pushing users towards online subscription models – but LibreOffice is different. It's free, it doesn't require registration or yearly payments, and it gives you control over your documents: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2019/08/27/dont-get-trapped-by-your-office-suite/

Who makes LibreOffice? A worldwide community of volunteers and certified developers! We work mostly over the internet, but like to meet in person at hackfests to discuss ideas, implement features and have a great time together.

@antipodescafe Hi! Without knowing your operating system, it's hard to say... Try asking on our community assistance website with details about your OS, and someone who has come across the same issue should be able to help: https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/questions/

Did you know: you can get LibreOffice from the Windows Store and Mac App Store, thanks to our partners! And this helps to fund improvements to the software: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-from-microsoft-and-mac-app-stores/
