The recordings of the talks about LibreOffice Online and Exploiting Concurrency in LibreOffice have been made available for watching online. The talks were given at FOSDEM, the famous two-day event organised by volunteers to promote the widespread use of free and open source software, in Brussels, Belgium, which was held the first week in February 2017. The well-attended talks were given in the Open Document Editors devroom to people interested in LibreOffice Online and on the Desktop.

Exploiting Concurrency


How I stopped worrying and started threading …
We now have hardware with increasing numbers of threads and functional blocks left & right. Come and hear how we plan to use that for maximum effect to make LibreOffice rock – things we have already done, things we are working on doing, and how you can get involved to encourage your PC to use more of its power to speed your LibreOffice up.

Updated LibreOffice growth infographic (2016)

We have updated our LibreOffice growth infographic (previous versions: 2014 & 2015), recollecting the most interesting LibreOffice figures and visualizing them in an easy to read and share infographic.

The number of LibreOffice users has grown significantly last year, to 120 million active users (20 million new users in one year), and we’ve doubled the number of countries with commercial support (from 21 to 42).

In total there were 21941 commits (based on commits in the last year: between 5.0 and 5.2), against 20026 commits last year. And we added to the infographic: the Coverity Scan Score. At the time of making of this infographic, LibreOffice had the perfect 0.00 score!

FOSDEM 2016 and LibreOffice hackfest

FOSDEM_2016

Like last year, Collabora attended FOSDEM and it was unforgettable. FOSDEM is a two-day event to promote the widespread use of free and open source software.

For us (and other LibreOffice people) the event started two days earlier, with the LibreOffice FOSDEM 2016 Hackfest. Together with others we worked two full days on LibreOffice at the beautiful Betacowork Coworking Offices in Brussels. A big thanks to them for making the hackfest possible!

After hacking for two days on LibreOffice we had a great dinner, just the evening before the start of FOSDEM. It was with the guys from Kolab, to celebrate the announcement of Collabora and Kolab joining forces! Dinner was amazing, and drinks afterwards were fun!

And then FOSDEM started on a rainy Saturday. Nevertheless, it was packed with around 7000 people! It’s amazing to see how alive the Open Source world is and how much interest the talks generated. Just like last year many Collaborans had a talk at FOSDEM and the rooms were very well attended. We also helped out with promoting LibreOffice at the stand, handing out stickers, selling t-shirts and answering questions from people.

“It was new this year that the LO stand was on the ground floor, not buried far away on the corridor on the first one, that was really nice.

The dev-room was as usual impressive, a steady flow of tech talks from 10:30 till 18:30.

Wrt the hackfest, some entirely new contributors appeared, and we could help them, that’s great — after all a hackfest without new contributors is only a half-hackfest.”

“For me it was the first time I attended FOSDEM and it was amazing. There was a lot of interest in LibreOffice and LibreOffice online and I was able to help people out with questions about CODE.

Next year I hope to be able to check out more talks, but anyway, I’m happy I can catch up on video.

Looking forward to FOSDEM 2017!”

Most of the talks from people from Collabora are still being uploaded (they will appear here), but Michael Meeks keynote is already online. Check out the video on YouTube (thanks to FOSDEM for recording and uploading the video!)

Looking forward to FOSDEM 2017!
