The Document Foundation Removes Dozens of Collabora Developers

Long-time GNOME/OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice contributor Michael Meeks is now general manager of Collabora Productivity. And earlier this month he complained when LibreOffice decided to bring back its LibreOffice Online project, as reported by Neowin, which had been inactive since 2022. After the original project went dormant — to which Collabora was a major contributor — they forked the code and created their own product, Collabora Online. But this week Meeks blogged about...

Сейчас на рынке труда появляется новая корпоративная этика.Когда безработица держится на уровне 2,2% (исторический минимум) - это превращается в ситуацию, когда любая потеря кандидата превращается в издержки, а любая узкая компетенция - в стратегический актив. И именно низкая безработица становится одним из индикаторов перегрева, усиливая борьбу за таланты в 2026-2030.И вот в этом режиме рынок труда постепенно вспоминает про людей 50+.

That means the most extreme bolts of jovian lightning carry 10 trillion joules of energy,... Read more
