New update – #LibreOffice 25.2.5 is now available: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/07/17/tdf-announces-libreoffice-25-2-5/ #foss#OpenSource
We had a great experience at #DebConf25!
We brought our two laptop models and our brand new NUC Box with Dasharo coreboot firmware.
It was great to see how much recognition and interest there was. Between the tech talks and hallway chats, we really enjoyed the spirit of the Debian community.
🙏 Thanks to everyone who visited our stand!
📅 Any recommendations for other FOSS conferences we should join?

Interesting read.
"At the outset, 'open source' and 'free software' were synonyms. All code that was open was also free, and vice-versa. But over the ensuing decades, that changed, as Benjamin 'Mako' Hill explained in his 2018 Libreplanet keynote, 'How markets coopted free software’s most powerful weapon'."
