Hot tip: if you're interested in learning the details of world sanctions against Russia, you should attend this free webinar.

I know some of the people involved. They're knowledgeable and violently allergic to bullshit.

Still using OpenOffice? It has unfixed security issues over a year old: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_O – So all users are strongly recommended to update to one of the actively maintained successor projects, like LibreOffice. (Please share and help raise awareness about this!)

Lots going on, lots of low level distro, packaging, ci/cd pipeline stuff, and in a very open source centric company.
