Sebastien, I am tired of the bias developers tend to show. Bug trackers are notoriously difficult to use for normal users, let alone those who speak English. There is clearly annoyance if you got even one report.

This irritating nag is apparently supposed to display every 90 to 180 days with no in-application means to disable it permanently, and there's apparently also a "Help us make LibreOffice even better!" banner that can appear too. According to this blog post... https://www.remembertheusers.com/2019/11/0580-libreoffice-nag- notices.html ...it is not responsive to configuration overrides within the user profile and the only apparent solution that doesn't require patching the source and rebuilding is to create a file containing the following markup in `$BASEDIR/share/registry` (`/usr/lib/libreoffice/share/registry` as installed by the Ubuntu package): <?xml version="1.0"?> <oor:data xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:oor="http://openoffice.org/2001/registry";> <dependency file="main" /> <oor:component-data xmlns:install="http://openoffice.org/2004/installation"; oor:name="Setup" oor:package="org.openoffice"> <node oor:name="Product"> <prop oor:name="LastTimeGetInvolvedShown" oor:op="fuse" oor:finalized="true"> <value>0</value> </prop> <prop oor:name="LastTimeDonateShown" oor:op="fuse" oor:finalized="true"> <value>0</value> </prop> </node> </oor:component-data> </oor:data> Regardless of how it's achieved, I think it's tasteless, irritating, and probably doesn't give a very good image to any office customers Ubuntu may have downstream for random employees to be receiving nag banners like that in IT-installed software. Please consider patching it out or otherwise ensuring it never triggers in distro-provided builds of LibreOffice.
