    Ideas from the Crowd

    • Low-hanging fruit: Improve usability of PDF export of documents with comments. Recently Caolán implemented the possibility in Writer to print PDFs with comments inside the margin. However, this is limited to printing, because no one has touched the PDF export dialogue yet. Like printing, PDF exporting of documents with comments is a very common use case. Hence, this new feature is not available in the PDF export dialogue, although the feature itself is actually implemented. Caolán describes the (for users complicated) work-around in the related bug entry: To activate PDF export with comments, it is necessary to change the settings in Tools ▸ Options ▸ LibreOffice Writer ▸ Print. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to activate/deactivate it from the PDF export dialog itself! Please see tdf#77650 for details and a sample .ui file how it could look like. This feature is a low hanging fruit as it seems to involve mostly a small change in the UI.
    • Merge the two slideshow background folders in the template manager and maybe get rid of the less appealing templates: abstract red/green/yellow, Sunset, Traditional

    Feel free to add some.

    Accomodation

    See the FOSDEM page for relevant information; the punch line is that most people stay at the Hotel Astrid.
