Here’s our summary of updates, events and activities in the LibreOffice project in the last four weeks – click the links to learn more… We started January with some news about The Document Foundation’s governance: an updated Conflict of Interest Policy for the Board of Directors. Later in the month, the Board also voted on version 1 of TDF Community Bylaws. We continued our series of posts about the Open Document Format (ODF): The philosophy behind ODF: openness, freedom and control; The Future of Open Standards and the Importance of ODF; and Why Open Standards are Extremely Beneficial to End Users. Then there was the LibreOffice Podcast, Episode #6 – discussing language support with Jonathan Clark from TDF. (The episode is also available on PeerTube.)
