Note: These notes are heavily based on my jurjey to the LibreOffice Conference 2024, community workshop and conference session. I write this post to note all my memory for the LibreOffice Conference 2024.
This year the Conference is not only a meeting point for the global LibreOffice community to but also an opportunity to welcome organizations and institutions creating, working with and promoting Free and Open Source Software.
Background: My journey with LibreOffice
