#1

Brno, September 7, 2016 - The Document Foundation (TDF) has celebrated
the opening session of LibOCon with the announcement of LibreOffice
5.2.1, the first minor release of the LibreOffice 5.2 family.

LibOCon is a showcase of the project activity, and will feature over 60
talks in three days, covering development, QA, localization, ODF,
marketing, community and documentation, a business session in Czech
focused on large deployments of LibreOffice, and a meeting of the Open
Source Business Alliance (OSBA).

Details of the conference, including the program and collateral
activities such as the traditional “hacknight” - a hands-on session
where developers hack over food and drinks - are available on the event
website: http://conference.libreoffice.org.

LibreOffice 5.2.1, targeted at technology enthusiasts, early adopters
and power users, provides a number of fixes over the major release
announced in August. For all other users and enterprise deployments, TDF
suggests LibreOffice 5.1.5 “still”, with the backing of professional
support by certified people (a list is available at:
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/professional-support/).
