Today is International Volunteer Day! LibreOffice is made possible thanks to the contributions of hundreds of volunteers around the world, and today we want to say a big thanks to them: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2019/12/05/celebrating-international-volunteer-day/

LibreOffice tip of the day: Want to sort a series in LibreOffice Calc such as A1, A2, A3, A11, A15, not in alphabetical order but by the number instead? Enable natural sort in the Options tab. More here: https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-GB/text/scalc/01/12030200.html

@ademalsasa Ah cool, nice to meet you here again 🙂

@ademalsasa @datenteiler OK – drop me a line at mike . saunders @ documentfoundation . org and let's talk further 🙂

@ademalsasa @datenteiler Great! If you need some flyers and stickers for local events, just let us know 👍

So much is happening in the LibreOffice community! In November we had events, new releases, interviews, the Month of LibreOffice (to win cool swag) and much more: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2019/11/30/libreoffice-monthly-recap-november-2019/

@patala That's from the "This is LibreOffice" video, being shown on the laptop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KC0ZdcA6s8 – Those are public domain document icons, showing that LibreOffice is compatible with other office software

@muvon If you donate, we'll happily send you some stickers – but the "Proud contributor" ones are just for the Month of LibreOffice, of course 🙂

LibreOffice is all over the world! Local communities attend events to meet users, get feedback from them, and encourage them to join our friendly and welcoming project. Anyone can get involved! We were recently in Sofia, Bulgaria, for instance: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2019/11/29/local-event-update-libreoffice-at-openfest-in-sofia-bulgaria/
