The Document Foundation, the organisation behind the LibreOffice productivity suite, is celebrating its first birthday as a German charitable foundation.
Florian Effenberger of The Document Foundation has today posted the message below on Google+:
Exactly one year ago, February 17th 2012, The Document Foundation was established as a charitable Foundation under German law (gemeinnützige rechtsfähige Stiftung des bürgerlichen Rechts). So far, it has proven to be the ideal entity for reflecting the LibreOffice’s community needs. I am proud and honoured to be part of this project, part of this community, and part of TDF. I would like to thank all of you who have contributed to the success of our common goal – all developers, marketeers, localizers, administrators, designers, testers, donors, adopters, users and everyone else involved. You have made possible what the community has been dreaming of for a decade, and we all can be excited about the future!
I’d like to add my best wishes for the future of The Document Foundation and LibreOffice to those of Florian. Keep up the good work; LibreOffice is a great product without which I wouldn’t be able to work so well. 🙂
