FOSDEM is a success story! The growth that this major European developer conference has seen in the 20 years of its existence reflects the importance of open source technology. It is one of the most important venues for exchanging information about the latest developments and meeting like-minded engineers in person. It is an event that we never miss. FOSDEM celebrated the 20th anniversary. LibreOffice – turning ten this year – is looking forward to a milestone birthday, too.
Directly after the conference, the two-day LibreOffice Hackfest organized by The Document Foundation took place in Brussels that we of course joined. This FOSDEM was also record-breaking in our personal view. The team of Collabora Productivity held several interesting talks about document processing with a clear focus on online.

LibreOffice turns ten and what’s next
In the history track in the main room Collabora’s Michael Meeks held a much appreciated talk about ten years of LibreOffice, demonstrating what is going on in LibreOffice today, and where is it going.
The second of three talks at FOSDEM 2020 by Michael was part of the devroom “Collaborative Information and Content Management Applications” and showed how (relatively) easy it is to integrate Collabora Online into different solutions.
Bringing Collabora Online to your web app
Collabora Online can bring the power of rich, secure, collaborative document editing inside your web app. This presentation shows how this works.
Most of the Collabora Productivity talks took place on Saturday in the Open Document Editors devroom. The speakers gave five presentations on different aspects of open document formats, customization and the optimization of Collabora Online on mobile systems.
Online Open Document Editing New Possibilities and Interoperability
Open Document editing is, as many things in life, more and more an online action. Collabora introduced the important first steps in 2015. Since then much work has been done and LibreOffice and Collabora Online grew enormously in possibilities. This presentation by Cor Nouws shows the new and improved features from last year, while the Q&A gives you an outlook to the future.
Make Online yours
Collabora Online is quite flexible in the means that you can alter the visual appearance to your personal taste and needs without the need to change other core components. UX designer Pedro Pinto Silva explains how to customize Collabora Online!
Online: wrestling web Copy/Paste to usability
Overcoming the synchronous web copy/paste API’s limitations in real browsers is extremely non-trivial. Michael’s talk is all about defeating the vast API and implementation disasters in copy/paste. Find out how we provide rich copy/paste support across documents and inside our app! Collabora Online clearly wins compared to other online applications.
Integrate Collabora Online with web applications
Collabora developers helped to develop many Collabora Online integrations. In this talk by Andras Timar explains the integration with web applications!
Collabora Office Android app gory details
We have chosen a new approach for the Collabora Office Android app. In this talk, Jan Holesowsky describes how we tweaked LibreOffice & the Online to get an Android app. Still in beta, but easier to extend, maintain and richer in features.
