Calligra 2.9.2 Released, Install on Ubuntu and Linux Mint via PPA

Calligra is an open source office suite solution for Linux/BSD-based operating systems. It is similar to the LibreOffice application and provides users with many attractive components for all of their office tasks. We should call this software a “phoenix” as it was reborn from the ashes of the discontinued KOffice office suite, which was distributed alongside the well known KDE desktop environment.
