How good is #LibreOffice in screenwriting? According to one user on Ask LibreOffice, very good – especially since Markdown support was added: blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/04... #foss #openSource #freesoftware

Ah yes, that page moved as part of the website redesign. It's at www.libreoffice.org/download-oth... now – we'll set up a redirect too. Thanks 😊

Video: What are we doing in the #LibreOffice project? Where are we going, and how can all users (yes, even non-programmers) help to improve the app? We answered these questions – and more – at the recent Grazer Linuxtage event: pretalx.linuxtage.at/glt26/talk/J... #foss #openSource #freesoftware

Thanks 😊 And that word works fine here! What version of LibreOffice are you using, on what operating system? (In some cases, the dictionary is provided by the operating system, and is beyond the control of LibreOffice...)

OpenOffice has old and unfixed security problems, so isn't recommended now: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_... – But yes, LibreOffice is there 😊

Be careful! Apache OpenOffice has years-old, unfixed security issues and is not recommended for production use: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_... – But there are more actively maintained (and fixed) successor projects, still free and open source (such as LibreOffice). Stay safe...

OK, so it's a help page. You said "What is this?" and we can only say... It's a help page 😅 Do you have a specific question?

Be careful – OpenOffice has years-old, unfixed security problems and is not recommended for production use: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_... – But there are more actively maintained (and fixed!) successor projects, still free and open source, such as LibreOffice. Stay safe out there 😊

I can't read Hebrew, so I'm afraid I've no idea, without any context at all. Please try asking on ask.libreoffice.org/c/hebrew/22

Hi, if you think you've discovered a bug in LibreOffice, our QA community would appreciate a quick bug report at bugs.documentfoundation.org – Please provide details about your setup (LibreOffice version, operating system, steps to reproduce, and screenshot if relevant). Thanks!

Say hello to Neil Roberts, new LibreOffice developer focusing on scripting support 👋 blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/03...

As Open Document Format (ODF) is more widely adopted, it's becoming clear: THIS is the future. A fully open, documented and standardised format – unlike Microsoft's "Transitional" OOXML: blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/03...

OpenOffice has old, unfixed (for years) security problems: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_... – It's far safer to use one of the actively maintained successor projects, still free and open source (such as LibreOffice)...

Any reason you're using OpenOffice? It has years-old, unfixed security issues and is strongly not recommended for production tasks: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_...

A double-pack of updates: #LibreOffice 26.2.2 and 25.8.6 are now available. All users are recommended to stay up-to-date: blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/03...

OpenOffice has years-old, unfixed security issues (and can't export .docx) so is strongly not recommended for production use: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_... – But there are successor projects being used around Europe, still free and open source, such as LibreOffice.

Document Freedom Day – because the format is the message: blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/03...

😁😁

Don't let your data get trapped in proprietary formats! Document Freedom Day is coming up – and here's an event in India for it: blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/03...

OpenOffice has years-old, unfixed security issues so is not recommended for production use: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_... – But anyway, @bestifyoudont.com, what exactly do you find frustrating in LibreOffice? Maybe we can help 😉

So, maybe you want to remove/edit your post? Spreading misinformation about software that volunteer work hard on is really unhelpful 🙁

Dear Europe: Germany has shown the way forward, by making the Open Document Format (ODF) mandatory within its sovereign digital infrastructure. Now it's time for other countries to do the same! blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/03... #foss #opensource #freesoftware #openstandards

MiniDebConf Kanpur 2026, organised by Debian India, was held on 14 – 15 March – and TDF was happy to sponsor it! The event featured a wide variety of talks on Debian, #LibreOffice, OpenStreetMap and other free and open source software projects: blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/03...
