LibreOffice : The New Generation
In late January, we announced LibreOffice New Generation, which focuses on bringing younger contributors into our projects and communities. We’ve had many discussions in our Telegram group since then, and today we’re announcing our first finished project: a LibreOffice flyer for schools and universities:
#LibreOffice,#Development,#New,#Generation,#Schools,#Colleges,#Universities.
20.04.2 LTS
Lubuntu 20.04.2, has been relesed, this is the lastest of the LTS (Long Term Support) updates for the system. You can find more info on the blog page.
Lubuntu is a derivative of the Ubuntu Operating system which in turn is built on Debian. Links in the list below.
Lubuntu is great for both low and high specification systems, and can help bring new life to old hardware, which given the number of people without devices could be a really effective way to help bridge the digital divide.
Organizations such as the good thing foundation help to build digital skills, sadly this does not cover fully free and open source software, let alone decentralized social media networks such as Mastodon.
There is no reason why LibreOffice can't be taught and promoted along side MS Office.
The more people to ASK for support with things like Lubuntu etc they will hopefully eventually provide the choice and associated support for alternatives.

LibreOffice Learning Resources
As digital skills are an essential part of everyday life. I have created, a new blog, to host information to help people out tasks using LibreOffice.
So far this is blog has covered just the Writer component. This may be extended later, as I have some videos for the Calc Spreadsheet.
The new blog can be found here.
