As seen elsewhere on social media... And this happens a lot! Let's keep spreading the word about LibreOffice, and how it respects users' freedom and privacy – and doesn't lock them in.

LibreOffice 6.4 is nearly here – and in the meantime, our documentation community has been updating the guides! For instance, the guide for the Math module is already available: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2020/01/22/the-documentation-team-announces-the-math-guide-6-4/

LibreOffice 6.4 is due to be released at the end of this month!
