LibreOffice 3.4.0 Released

The new release offers several new features but is focused on
contributors

The Internet, June 3rd, 2011 – The Document Foundation
announces LibreOffice 3.4.0, a major release of the free office
suite for personal productivity developed by a community of
sponsored and volunteer developers, and supported worldwide by
local communities of volunteers. LibreOffice 3.4.0 is the second
major release of the suite since the announcement of The Document
Foundation in September 2010 and incorporates the contributions of
over 120 developers (six times as many as the first beta released
on the launch date).

The majority of these contributors have started to hack
LibreOffice code less than eight months ago, and this is an
incredible achievement if one recalls that the OOo project has
attracted a lower number of contributors in ten years. “We care for
our developers, and it shows”, comments Italo Vignoli, a Steering
Committee member and a spokesperson for TDF. “Our core developers
have invented the mechanism of the easy hacks, which makes it
simple and enjoyable for volunteer contributors to get to know
LibreOffice code challenging their development skills with basic or
elementary tasks”.”
