CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@MastodonEngineering Lots of focus on redesign and new features but I wish you'd focus more on basic shortcomings that have been around for a long time.For example there's been a PR open for more than a year that addresses a major shortcoming of federation: backfilling posts to empty profiles of users. No real explanation for why it can't be merged in experimental form...

As the administrator of your #PeerTube platform, did you know you can enable automatic transcription of your platform videos?This feature will automatically generate subtitles for your videos!Remember, it's always better to edit the generated subtitles, to make sure they're understandable. https://docs.joinpeertube.org/admin/configuration#automatic-transcription#PeerTubeTipOfTheWeek

@trisweb @Mastodon The option to create a list from the collection would be excellent!

LibreOffice State of the Project (April 2025 – March 2026)We are releasing the updated State of the Project Slide Deck, based on data extracted from the LibreOffice dashboard and the Matomo repository.We have started to publish these slide decks in January 2026, to provide a transparent overview about the progress of the project through some of the most significant measures of development, downloads and donations data collected by the marketing team at TDF.https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/04/09/libreoffice-state-of-the-project/@libreoffice

#PeerTube 8.1.5 has been released!This is a bug fix release.The full changelog can be found here: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/releases/tag/v8.1.5

Our sense of meritocracyA project that confuses meritocracy with the dominance of a single type of contributor fails to live up to its own values. And a project that bends to the interests of some contributors, at the expense of future generations, is a form of appropriation masked by the language of fairness.Meritocracy is a complex, multifaceted concept that is worth grappling with in order to build something that future generations will be happy to inherit.https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/04/07/our-sense-of-meritocracy/@tdforg

Something's cooking in @PaulDavisTheFirst's kitchen...

@libreoffice About "The origins of TDC are controversial.". I had to search what 'TDC' is. Maybe replace 'TDC' with 'The Document Collective (TDC)'?

Have you tried the #PeerTube Studio?This feature gives you simple tools to edit your videos directly from the PeerTube interface! https://docs.joinpeertube.org/use/studio#PeerTubeTipOfTheWeek

Document formats: a mystery to manyA licence tells you who owns the software, while the format tells you who owns the data.ODF has to be native, default, and by design.https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/04/02/document-formats-a-mystery-to-many/@libreoffice #odf

We hope everyone loved our April Fools joke. No, we're not switching desktop environments.However, yes, this is a real DE in development. Not by us. https://github.com/er-bharat/Win8DE

@Scott_Trakker A big chunk of code commits is currently done by Collabora developers, but not all, and there are many other things in a project (like QA, translations, documentation, design etc.) which are done by hundreds of people also outside of Collabora. And TDF is taking on new developers. So don't worry, LibreOffice will not only be developed further, but a lot of work is being done, even outside of the ecosystem!

Euro-Office: sovereign in name only, or in reality too?The announcement of the Euro-Office is welcome news. The coalition is credible, the governance is sound and the timing is perfect. Europe needs office software, and we are delighted to see such significant players allocating resources to make it happen.However, we have a question. It is not meant to be hostile, but it is the only question that matters.What is the native document format of Euro-Office?https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/04/01/euro-office/

@mastodonmigration Thanks for pinging us. We had an disk space issue on the search system and were missing monitoring for it so we did not notice.It's now fixed and indexing is catching up.

Our website is back up. Thank you for your patience.

To clarify, it doesn’t affect .iso images, package repositories, or anything like that. Ubuntu Studio isn’t a separate distribution, after all.

As Open Document Format (ODF) is more widely adopted, it's becoming clear: THIS is the future. A fully open, documented and standardised format – unlike Microsoft's "Transitional" OOXML: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/03/27/odf-is-the-future-ooxml-is-the-past/
