The Document Foundation announces the LibreOffice 4.0 Test Marathon.
During 6 days, from December 14 to 19, users and supporters around the
world will be testing the first beta of the upcoming LibreOffice 4.0.

The final version of LibreOffice 4.0 will be released in February
2013. By organising this big Test Marathon early, the developers will
be able to fix many bugs before the release candidates and the final
version are made available.

The LibreOffice community has organised various bug hunt sessions
before, with many people joining, bugs found and tests done. This has
contributed considerably to the overall quality of the product.

Also participants were enthusiastic. Thanks to helping in the QA work,
they learned a lot about powerful functions of LibreOffice and tricks
how to use the office suite.

Participating is easy and fun. Since the event is lasting a week,
everyone may choose the moments that suit them best.

Details are available on the wiki of The Document Foundation:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Test_Marathon_LibreOffice_4.0.
There’s also an overview of LibreOffice 4.0 new and improved features:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.0.

All participants need is a PC with Windows, Mac OS X or Linux, and a
LibreOffice 4.0 test version (which is available from
http://www.libreoffice.org/pre-releases), plus a lot of enthusiasm.

Filing bugs will be extremely easy, thanks to the help of experienced
people who will be around those days to help users and supporters with
tips, on the QA mailing list (libreoffice-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) and on
the IRC channel (irc://chat.freenode.net/libreoffice-qa).
