purposes, as media is looking at LibreOffice as the real innovator in <br>
the open source office suite market, and the feeling of journalists is <br>
that we are forever stuck at 7.x.<br>
<br>
We all know that the next version will not include any significant <br>
innovation which can justify the change of version, apart from the new <br>
build system for Windows and the availability of LibreOffice for Arm <br>
processors on Windows (which has not been announced).<br>
<br>
Playing with the number 8, which can be rotated 90° to become the <br>
"infinite" symbol, we can frame the next version as LibreOffice for an <br>
infinite number of users, as we cover all hardware platforms and all <br>
operating systems for personal productivity.<br>
<br>
This is my opinion. If the community wants to stick with 7.6, I won't <br>
insist. I have received enough insults both public and private for the <br>
marketing plan, and I am still receiving them from a few people, that I <br>
am not willing to enter into that process again (even if the decision on <br>
the "community" tag has not been mine, but it looks like people have a <br>
very short memory).<br>
<br>
Looking forward to your thoughts.<br>
