The Document Foundation is adding a donation banner to LibreOffice's Start Center, planned for the LibreOffice 26.8 release in August. The banner will occupy roughly the bottom quarter of the Start Center and is currently set to display every time the app opens, though the intended schedule is after each update or once a month. The feature has already been merged into development builds but remains visually rough at this stage. The move aims to increase donations to sustain the open source project, which relies on contributions and inconsistent corporate support.
