Hey everyone, mod here. Quick heads-up for anyone in Barcelona or following the Moodle world: ONLYOFFICE is a Gold Sponsor at MoodleMoot Europe 2026, taking place October 7–9 at Hotel Barceló Sants.

We're here now, and tomorrow we're giving a talk: "How We Created the ONLYOFFICE Academy by Integrating Online Document Editors into Moodle".

• When: Friday, October 9, 13:15–13:45
• Where: Business & HR Stage
• Who: Oleksii Ivanov from our Sales team

It's a real-world story, not a sales pitch. If you're curious what it looks like when your learning platform and office tools live in one place, this one's for you.

Come to the event and stop by our stand. We'd love to meet some of you in person, hear how you use ONLYOFFICE and answer any questions.

UbuСon Latinoamérica is the Latin American edition of UbuCon. The event is held annually in different cities, where members of the free and open-source software community gather to attend talks, workshops, networking events, and conferences. The aim of the event is to promote the use of free and open-source software, as well as the exchange of knowledge and experiences related to Ubuntu and its applications among educators, students, developers, companies and enthusiasts.

The ONLYOFFICE team is joining UbuСon Latinoamérica 2026 with a presentation about using AI in open-source office software on September 29.

If you've ever lost track of which file is the "real" version, this one's for you. Our team wrote a straightforward guide on collaboration software and what you should pay attention to while choosing the best option for your team.

With dozens of cloud-based and self-hosted collaboration platforms competing for a spot in every team’s workflow, ONLYOFFICE is worth a look:

• Real-time co-editing: You and your teammates can work in the same document at once, without overwriting each other. There's also a mode that locks the paragraph you're editing if you'd rather work on your part privately.
• Flexible sharing permissions: Decide who can view, comment, review or edit your files.
• Document security: Your sensitive files stay protected, with options like password protection and encryption.
• MS Office compatibility: Open and edit Word, Excel and PowerPoint files without breaking the formatting or converting anything first.

Read the full guide on our blog.

Curious what the community thinks: if you were setting up document collaboration for a team today, what would you prioritize first?

Big news for anyone who lives in their docs all day: ONLYOFFICE 10 is coming soon.

Our team just dropped a preview of what the next major version will bring:

• 4 fully reworked apps
• About 50 new features
• At least 7 user-requested features
• Around 1000 bug fixes
• More than 30 security enhancements
• New AI providers and tools
• Support for new formats

Interestingly, version 10.0 is not about releasing new software only — we’re making it an event:

• An online webinar is on the way to walk you through everything 10.0 has to offer.
• We’re hosting our very first in-person meetup. It’s a chance to connect with the ONLYOFFICE team, meet fellow users and experience the release up close.

GITEX AI Türkiye is Türkiye's most international tech-trade ecosystem event, taking place at the Istanbul Expo Centre from 9–10 September 2026. It unites startups, scale-ups, enterprises, investors, and policymakers across AI, deep tech, and next-generation technologies to accelerate growth, investment, and cross-border partnerships in the dynamic heart of Istanbul.

ONLYOFFICE is participating in GITEX AI Türkiye as an exhibitor, showcasing our collaborative office suite, document automation tools and AI‑powered features for secure, productive teamwork.

INFOSEK is the biggest cybersecurity conference in Slovenia, bringing together IT and security professionals to explore the latest trends, challenges, and solutions in information security. Held in Nova Gorica, the event features expert talks, networking opportunities, and insights for CISOs, CIOs, system administrators, and other tech leaders.

ONLYOFFICE is represented by Editor d.o.o., our trusted partner from Slovenia.

If your team runs on Quip, you have probably heard it's shutting down in 2027. That gives you time to plan, but it's worth figuring out where your documents land before the deadline sneaks up.

This is why ONLYOFFICE is worth putting on your shortlist:

• Real-time co-editing — multiple people in the same doc at once, so it feels a lot like what you're used to in Quip.
• Collaboration rooms — you organize files into rooms with clear access permissions instead of navigating through folders.
• MS Office format support — DOCX, XLSX and PPTX open and save cleanly, which matters if your files bounce between teams that use Word and Excel.
• Built-in chat and comments — you can communicate through edits right inside the document, so the conversation stays with the work.
• Version history — see who changed what and roll back to an earlier version whenever you need to.
• Solid security — encryption, permission controls and self-hosting if you'd rather keep everything on your own servers.

Hey everyone! We would like to share another story from our internship program, this time from Chandika Wagle, who joined us from Lalitpur, Nepal after finishing her bachelor's in Computer Applications.

Her internship covered a lot of ground. She started with content and documentation work, then moved into testing the web version of our editors — where she actually found and reported a bunch of bugs before they reached users. That kind of QA work is quietly one of the most valuable things an intern can do, and she took it seriously.

Fun fact: she can solve a Rubik's Cube in about 2 minutes, and she collects small stones as souvenirs from places she's visited. Little details like that are part of what makes these stories fun to put together.

The Codecon Summit is one of the main IT events for developers held annually in Brazil. It brings together innovation, technology, coding and fun, and features content geared toward the careers of both novice and experienced developers.

In 2026, the Codecon Summit will be a two-day event taking place on August 14 and 15, 2026, in Pinhais/PR, in the metropolitan region of Curitiba.

As a silver sponsor, ONLYOFFICE will have a booth at the event venue where you will have a chance to meet our representatives in person.

Hey everyone! We have been chatting with some of the interns who have worked with us this year. Their stories are worth a read if you are curious about what it's actually like to intern at an open-source company.

• Moncif Meftah is a PhD student in English Literature who ended up working on our Arabic localization, including DocSpace and the form template library. He summed up the experience as "challenging, flexible and insightful." Full interview
• Shashank Jha came in from a finance background in India and joined as a technical writing intern, keeping our Help Center guides and GitHub READMEs clear and accurate. He even represented us at DevConf 2026, and built his own Claude AI workflows to speed things up. His three words were "enriching, autonomous and professional." Full interview

Two very different paths — literature and finance — both landing in open source.

For anyone who didn't know, our Internship Program started back in 2024 and covers everything from localization and documentation to development and design.

Hey everyone! With the back-to-school season here, our team put together a blog post specifically for schools and universities in Brazil, and I wanted to share it with the community.

If you are in Brazil, you probably already know about the new EDCA law (Lei nº15.211/2025), which came into force in March. It sets strict rules around protecting kids' data online, and it has made schools check whether their software actually complies.

The good news is that ONLYOFFICE is a good choice for Brazilian schools and universities:

• Self-hosting so all student and teacher data stays on your own servers, fully under your control;
• Open-source code on GitHub that anyone can audit — no hidden data collection, no behavioral profiling;
• PT-BR localization, so the whole interface (and the blog posts too) is in Brazilian Portuguese;
• Real-time collaboration for group assignments and shared class materials;
• Integrations with Moodle, Chamilo, OpenOlat and other e-learning platforms you might already be using.

Basically, it's built with privacy in mind from the ground up, which lines up nicely with what the law now requires.

Want to know how ONLYOFFICE helps non-profits across the globe? Below is a use case from Germany featuring FILMZ e.V., a volunteer-run film culture organization that promotes film culture and holds events for cinema lovers in Mainz throughout the year.

Some peculiarities of their ONLYOFFICE setup:

• Software continuity across team members. ONLYOFFICE was adopted years ago by people who've since moved on. New volunteers just pick it up and keep going with no relearning curve.
• Spreadsheets run the festivals. From film selection to the full schedule, everything is tracked and written in ONLYOFFICE Spreadsheet Editor.
• Real-time collaboration via HumHub. The team co-edits office files on the go and is now moving to the Enterprise license for better mobile editing.

As Jo Bernhard from FILMZ puts it:

>For our work at FILMZ – from the smallest meeting notes to creating the festival schedule – ONLYOFFICE has become indispensable. Our film culture work is seen by our audience mainly on the screen in the cinema, but without the many gears turning in the background, for which ONLYOFFICE provides an important foundation, our work would be unthinkable.
