Heading for LibreOffice 3.6.0

Roughly a month to go before LibreOffice 3.6.0 will be finished. So it's time for a little excitement :-)
An overview (in progress) of the new features is available on the wiki.
The community – users as you and I – is of course assisting with tracing the bugs in the beta releases. Therefore there will be an international bug-hunt party organized on July 6 and 7!
According to the plan - and with LibreOffice the plan is usually met - the release will be in the first week of August.
Such a first release is of course perfect to give it a good try, but obviously not to deploy immediately in all business processes. Just be careful ;-)
The 3.6.0 – I'm looking forward to it!

PhotoAlbum - new feature in LibreOffice 4.1 Impress

Afbeelding
Another nice feature in LibreOffice 4.1 (as promised in my previous blog ).. Creating a slide show with a series of photo's. This works nice and smoothly In Impress , choose Insert > Picture > Photo Album . The dialog Create Photo Album opens. Note that when you open the file dialog to Add the photo's, you can select multiple pictures at once! In the dialog Create Photo Album you have choices to add more pictures per slide, fill the slide or keep ratio, set order.. Fine with that, click Insert and see on the Slide sorter what nice result you have in a hand turn! Kudoos to Gergő Mocsi for adding this lovely feature to LibreOffice!   LibreOffice 4.1 will have it's first release candidate around June 23, and the release at the end of July. See here the full schedule for the main releases and bugfix versions of LibreOffice. The beta version is already available on pre-releases page.

LibreOffice off course offers alternatives for users of all Microsoft user interfaces

One of the big advantages of LibreOffice has been, for a long time, that it offers the well known menu based user interface to its users. Less known, is that LibreOffice also has solutions for the group users that is quite well used to different interfaces: the Notebookbar! Over time LibreOffice worked on the concept of the Notebookbar, and that got supported by the working with Glade-designer for the user interface. With it's tabbed view, it looks as a notebook ;) The Notebookbar itself also has multiple forms: Tabbed, Contextual Single and Contextual Groups. It can easily be seen in the next 5.3 release, if experimental features are turned on. The official 5.3-release is end of January. LibreOffice offers an ideal solution for people that prefer to work with either a menu, or with a side bar, or with a more block-like interfaces!

LibreOffice at Tilburg University Orientation Program

Afbeelding
At the beginning of the new year, the Tilburg University organizes the Tilburg Orientation Program (TOP) presenting all kind of interesting and cool stuff for the new students. So at August 22, a nice and sunny day, there was a huge event in a park with lots of plays and booths and music and beer. And: three people from the Dutch LibreOffice team were there! We had a nice booth and prepared both flyers and small cards. Especially the cards were handsome to reach out to people: "want a free card for free software" is a short and appealing message. Thus we handed out a six to seven hundred of the cards. Of course we had good talks too: dozens of individuals and groups wanted more information. And there are people that know and use open source. Or were just in need for a good office-suite for their new bought Mac book ;) It's always interesting to see how people react. For example if you tell that Microsoft doesn't really loves students, when they offer software very
