@mathzy Thanks so much 😊 Donations help us to grow the LibreOffice community, support the project and make the software better for all users! https://www.libreoffice.org/donate/

@vartak They said cost is one thing "among other reasons", and that they want to get away from dependence on a single vendor. There are other things to take into account!

In August, #LibreOffice's developer community worked on many new features, and resolved hundreds of bug reports. Learn more: https://qa.blog.documentfoundation.org/2025/09/16/qa-dev-report-august-2025/ #foss #qa #OpenSource

@Irisfreundin It's certainly not useless – 99% of the content will still be relevant to the current versions of LibreOffice! We can't stop volunteers updating the guidebooks, but we don't randomly remove big features so the content of the older guidebooks will still definitely be useful to you. Enjoy 😊

@Morpurgo Hi! You can get help on https://ask.libreoffice.org

@kkmzero Hi! You didn't say anything about your setup, but it looks like you accidentally activated Tools > Development Tools from the menu. Do that again to remove it!

LibreOffice has extensive documentation, thanks to volunteers around the world! And there are translations in many languages too. The Czech community just finished translating the LibreOffice Calc Guide 25.2: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/09/10/czech-translation-of-libreoffice-calc-guide-25-2/ #foss #OpenSource

We have some new LibreOffice Expert magazines from @linuxmagazine to give away! We want to get them to schools, libraries and local communities, especially in remote places where internet access isn't easily available: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/09/09/new-libreoffice-expert-2025-2026-magazines-available-for-schools-and-local-communities/ #foss #OpenSource

@PereFarrando Don't just crave it – make it happen! We're a volunteer-driven, community open source project with very limited resources. We do all we can, but can't make an iOS app happen without some help. So please consider helping us, or funding a developer: https://www.documentfoundation.org/certified-developers/ – Thank you! 😊

LibreOffice 25.8 is our new major release – but we're maintaining the previous branch for a few more months. And today we're releasing #LibreOffice 25.2.6: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/09/08/libreoffice-25-2-6/

Hello world! 👋 Greetings from the #LibreOffice Conference in Budapest. Of course, this is just one part of the wider LibreOffice community that makes the software – consisting of hundreds of people around the world. Join them! #foss #OpenSource #freesoftware

@thejessiekirk If you sent us your address, we definitely posted them! Drop us another line and we'll try with another batch 😊

@foxontherun Hi! Sorry, what do you mean by "publish more often"? The schedule is always available on our site: https://events.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice-conference-2025/schedule/

@mariafarrell I'm sorry you're unhappy with our attempts to help... We're volunteers doing all we can give the world a free office suite, but of course we're not perfect. Please bear with us...

Day 2 of the #LibreOffice Conference 2025 begins! Join us in-person in Budapest – or check the conference website for the schedule and chat (where we'll post live stream links, where possible): https://conference.libreoffice.org/2025/ #foss #OpenSource

@Ciela Hi! Text-to-speech is a feature normally provided by operating systems, and not individual apps, so we're not sure what you mean, sorry! Can you be more specific? Please also see: https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/accessibility/

@tsyum We understand, but we can't make features happen by magic, no matter how many people request them. We're a volunteer-driven project with very limited resources. Anyone can step up to help us, or fund developers: https://www.documentfoundation.org/certified-developers/ – If just a few people do that, we'll get all these improvements, and more!
