After the disbanding of the Sun/Oracle OpenOffice team, a sizeable fraction of those developers stayed with the meta-project – some for LibreOffice, employed by SUSE, RedHat and Canonical, some for IBM. Which means, the Hamburg metropolitan area remains one of the gravity centers for Free office suite hacking activities.
Quite accordingly, we’ll be having a local LibreOffice Hamburg Hackfest this spring, generously hosted at the Attraktor e.V. hacker space – the date is not yet, but almost fixed (quickly cast your vote if you want to attend).
Plus, we’ve established a recurring LibreOffice home hacking event, with one of us taking turns having the Hamburg crowd over for a day:
Home hacking at my place
Looking forward to grow this circle over the time. 🙂
