LibreOffice on The Document Foundation (TDF) and ODF TC

Community Member Monday: Manuel Frassinetti
Today we’re chatting with Manuel Frassinetti from our Italian LibreOffice community, who recently became a Member of The Document Foundation, the non-profit behind LibreOffice…
Tell us a bit about yourself!
I’m from Modena, Italy and I’m still living in this city. I’m just a normal free software user – a GNU/Linux user since 2001. I moved from Debian to Ubuntu, and then returned to Debian. The first love is never forgotten!

I use free and open source software and both in private and in my work. I have a Dell series 3500 laptop, an old IBM T42 ThinkPad in private and a HP Compaq 6000 pro at work, all with Debian 10. I am very much a beginner programmer (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and also a beginner hardware technician. For both software and hardware specializations, I have not been in the world of work since 2003, since I became a tobacconist.

Update from the ODF Technical Committee
The ODF TC has recently updated the project charter after more than a decade. The updated document is available at: https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/office/charter.php. The most important news is the commitment to deliver a Committee Specification Draft at least every year in December, consisting of RelaxNG schemas and written specifications, to avoid a long delay between two consecutive versions of the standard as in the recent past.
The ODF TC also aims to provide a fast-track for new ODF features of implementers, and publish the lowest standard (OASIS Committee Specification) more frequently, so features can be quickly reviewed and embraced into an ODF CS Standard without the need to use the intermediate LibreOffice External namespaces (lo-ext), with all the associated delays and costs.
