LibreOffice Technology, a FOSS platform for personal productivity
Talk
en
LibreOffice was announced in 2010 as a desktop productivity software for Windows, macOS and Linux. From 2010 to 2020, it has evolved from a single desktop product to a technology platform supporting applications for the desktop, the cloud and mobile. All products share the same engine, which provides superior consistency. The goal of the presentation is to present the different stages of this evolution.

Announcement about LibreOffice Certification
Talk
en
LibreOffice Certification was established in 2014, for Developers, Migration Professionals and Professional Trainers. We are now announcing the second generation of the project, with a stepped process for Migration Professionals and Professional Trainers, which are now supposed to go through the basic LibreOffice Certification by following online training to access the certification review. This is supposed to make it easy for people outside the project to get certified, even if at basic level, leaving the Professional level to people with more experience and skills. In addition, we will announce Professional Trainer Certification for single applications like Writer and Calc.

Making LibreOffice faster is fun.... If you don't mind re-doing your code 7 times :-) Optimising is an exploratory journey.
Making one seemingly small optimisation can be a long journey
- through various layers of code between the place where you optimise and exposing it to the right place
- maintaining backwards compatibility
- finding the right set of functionality that exists cross-platform

The talk gives an overview of the individual pieces involved in the crashreporting tooling used by LibreOffice and how it can be used to increase the overall stablility of LibreOffice.
LibreOffice's crashreporting is based on breakpad. Users have the option to submit a minidump after LibreOffice suffered from a crash.
Learn in this talks how the individual parts of that system work in tandem to ultimately land a fix in the code to fix that crash…

Some improvements for the SVG export filter
Talk

Latest improvements for the SVG export filters include the support for presentation with slide background represented by bitmaps. The slide background can also be made up of tiles where each tile is represented by a bitmap or a given pattern. The support for such kinds of backgrounds has been implemented in a resource safe way: minimizing both the exported file size and the impact on the browser rendering performance.

Improved document searching with LibreOffice
Talk
en
Searching for a phrase in multiple documents is not a new thing and many implementations exist, however such searching will usually only provide you if and roughly where in the documents a searched phrase exists. With Collabora Online and LibreOffice we can do better than this and in addition provide the search result in form of a thumbnail of the search location. In this way it is easier for the user to see the context, where the searched phrase is located. For example, if it is located in a table, shape, footer/header, or is it figure text or maybe "alt" text of an image.
Thanks to the sponsor of the work - NLnet Foundation, we are implementing this solution for Writer documents.

State of CJK issues of LibreOffice, 2021 edition
Talk
en
The LibreOffice project is aimed at multilingualism, as stated in The Document Foundation's "Our Values" of "Our Next Decade Manifesto" that anyone can translate so that everyone can use it in their mother tongue.
However, LibreOffice developers are mostly in Europe, and in order to use them conveniently in other languages, those who understand those languages need to solve the problem. LibreOffice's CJK and problems unique to the Japanese environment are various such as vertical writing, external characters, phonetic, currency and date notation.
Sometimes CJK regression bugs occur in the LibreOffice project. It is important to strengthen user's feedback loop approach. It is also important to find regression bugs by tests.
In this year's talk, As the first, I will analyze the bug database and introduce the trend. Secondly, introduce some reported and fixed CJK bugs in the past year. Thirdly, introduce some not fixed old CJK bugs.

Creating professional templates with LO Writer

A brief panorama on how much important templates are and what can be done (and automated) inside them.
One of the tasks of my job is to create corporate templates. It is really important to spend the right amount of time on them, since they are the image of the entity (whatever kind of) to the public, and they usually last for decades. Knowing well the needs and requirements is possible to automate a lot of things, still without macros. But pushing so much Writer to its limits let us discover some minor bug or possible enhancements.

Gutter margin in Writer page styles
Talk
en
LibreOffice was capable handling various margins in Writer page styles
already. Be it top, bottom, left, right, inner, outer margins, all working. A
missing piece was support for the gutter margin, which is used when priting
for binding: additional space on the left or at the top, which is nominally
not part of the relevant margin. This means that the Writer document model is
capable of reading this information from DOCX files, render such files
correctly, saving them to ODF and supporting them at the various other layers
of the LibreOffice technology (UI, UNO API, etc). Come and see how this work
is implemented, where are the still rough edges and how you can help.

Built-in "Xray" like UNO object inspector
Talk
en
When developing macros and extensions in LibreOffice it is very useful to have an object inspector. With that tool you inspect the object tree and the methods, properties and interfaces of individual objects to understand its structure. There are quite some different object inspectors available for LibreOffice as extension. Probably the best known is called “XrayTool”, but there were also others like MRI, which was build for a similar purpose and various other more simple object inspectors (for example one is provided as an code example in ODK).
As a tool like this is very valuable it makes sense that it would be provided out-of-the-box by LibreOffice without the need for the user to get it separately. Also the user could even be unaware the such a tool exists. For this reasons The Document Foundation (TDF) put up a tender to create a built-in Xray like UNO object inspector, which was awarded to Collabora and we are now in the process of implementing it.

Python scripts in LibreOffice Calc using the ScriptForge library
Talk
en
One of the most advanced uses of spreadsheets is automation by creating macros that perform tasks that go beyond the capabilities of regular functions. In LibreOffice, the main scripting language is Basic, but there is a trend in adopting Python to create user scripts. Starting with LibreOffice 7.2 the ScriptForge library will have Python support for most of its services and methods, which will make it easier for users to create Python scripts. The objective of this talk is twofold: first it will provide a brief overview of how to get started writing Python scripts that use the ScriptForge library and later the Calc service will be introduced, showcasing its main methods. Currently the Calc service has 30 methods and 11 properties that have been documented in the online Help. Hence, this talk seeks to promote ScriptForge and its capabilities among LibreOffice users to boost adoption.
The presentation will start by introducing how to create ScriptForge-based Python scripts using the APSO extension and then move on the creating scripts on separate ".py" files alongside a text editor or any Python IDE. Later on, an overview of ScriptForge's Calc service will be presented, listing all methods and properties. Some examples will be presented and also implemented live to showcase ScriptForge's Python capabilities. Examples will start with basic sheet operations and data read/write to spreadsheets. Emphasis will also be given in more advanced features such as importing data from CSV files and databases. The source code of all examples will be made public in GitHub.

ScriptForge libraries build up an extensible collection of macro scripting resources for LibreOffice to be invoked from Basic macros or Python scripts.
Those libraries were integrated in LO 7.1 and upgraded in 7.2.
The libraries include a set of Basic + Python modules and classes covering next topics
+ array handling, including sorts, set operations and interfaces with csv files and Calc sheets
+ string handling, including replacements, regular expressions, encodings, hashing and localization
+ a Dictionary mapping class
+ error handling for both user and ScriptForge scripts
+ FileSystem and TextStream classes for file and directory handling, and text files read & write
+ context information: platform, operating system, directories, ...
+ interconnection of Basic and Python modules
+ management of actual windows and documents
+ forms and their controls
+ automation on Calc sheets
+ dialogs and their controls
+ accessing data contained in databases
Focus will be on:
+ the overall architecture of this piece of software
+ what is new in LibreOffice 7.2
+ Tree controls in dialogs
+ forms and form controls
+ the availability of all ScriptForge services in Python user scripts
+ the user documentation
+ what can be expected in LO 7.3

Enhancing a spellcheck dictionary by Wikidata lexemes
Talk
en
The talk summarizes recent changes in development of Czech spellcheck dictionaries, with a focus on employing lexemes from Wikidata as a source of words for a new experimental dictionary. Apart from that, an update of the default dictionary and using a new public data set of words will be mentioned.
The world of free Czech spellchecking dictionaries has made a progress during the last years. The most used Hunspell dictionary, shipped with LibreOffice and many other FOSS applications, underwent a significant update few months ago. Moreover, a new experimental dictionary has been created as a combination of a data set released by a university and lexicographical data available at Wikidata. The individual data sources will be described, including a summary of their advantages and weaknesses. The main attention will be paid to the Wikidata lexemes project, a database of words and their properties for any language. As a universal platform, it might be used for creation of different language tools and it provides a convenient user interface, making adding and editing the data reasonably simple for any volunteer. Therefore, Wikidata can be considered to be a great place where the data of spellcheck dictionaries can be stored and maintained.

1. If possible import footers as properties (as Impress understands them) if not fallback to the previous implementation
2. Export footers
- PPTX placeholder inheritance
- lstStyles (on master placeholders)
- Placeholder indexes (for slide placeholders)
3. Better the datetime conversion
3. What's left?
1. Right now only for slides, not for notes/handouts
2. Footer placeholders use the lstStyles but it could be expanded to all of the placeholders, (maybe for better interoperability)

Getting the word out - to users and to potential contributors
Talk
en
How are we reaching out to new users? And how are we getting new contributors on board? This talk will explain all...
It's great to have millions of users of LibreOffice, but the software doesn't just magically improve on its own. For a healthy future, we need to keep building a community of contributors and supporters. In this talk, we'll show what we've been doing at The Document Foundation in social media, in marketing and on our websites to raise awareness that LibreOffice is more than just software - it's a place for people to get together and do awesome things. But we'll also have plenty of time for discussions too - we want to hear your ideas!

PDF annotations support
Talk
en
In Draw, a PDF document can be opened using the PDFium library for rendering, where each page in the Draw document contains an rendered image from the PDF. This mode is useful for viewing PDFs and allows for the best fidelity. With viewing, there is also a need to review and comment and this is where PDF annotations come in as adding the support for the PDF annotations and to support a review based workflow has been one of my recent task at Collabora Productivity.

Let's fix the personal data problem.
Workshop
en
There will be no world without personal data. So let's shape the alternative. An alternative where we, the free software community bring in our experience, passion and beliefs to create a private world enjoying the benefits of big personal data. This is a call for cooperation.
LibreOffice and most of FLOSS in general provide solutions that do not produce
personal data. Unfortunately, this approach has failed at large.
First of all, we cannot optimize the UX of our products as proprietary
competitors can, simply because we do not produce or have the data needed. By
this, using FLOSS will become more and more a matter of believe, not
experience.
This makes our second fundamental problem even worse. Even though we provide
solutions to ensure a private live, the vast majority of people on this planet
doesn't use them, but rather pays with personal data for convenience. With
effects on the whole society, e.g. through manipulated elections.
So, if we have to accept that we cannot reach a world without personal data
and society is only protected if all, not only a few people actually are able
to live privately: How could an alternative look like? One that ensures
privacy and offers the comfort of big data at the same time?
In a talk, I will
- discuss the idea of a personal data cooperative,
- outline why the free software world should be the starting point for such a
civil movement,
- explain why it can actually be successful in changing the world into a
private place and
- how we in LibreOffice can start right away.
In the following workshop, we will discuss implications and next steps for LibreOffice.

The challenge of Using LibreOffice & Building Local Community in Korea
Talk
en
In South Korea, Both OWPML and ODF are a Document format standard as a public sector. But, In South Korea's academic field, the public & private sector, It is still using HWP as a document standard. They are still made and distributed in .hwp format. I'm a Full-time worker(Developer) & University student in Korea. This year, I transferred to Korea National Open University, major in Chinese Language & Literature. As a university student, I talk about the inconvenience of using ODF when making documents in Korea. Also, I introduce the activities of the LibreOffice community since 2020 in Korea.

Expediting the Brazilian Portuguese Documentation Process.
Talk
en
The Brazilian Portuguese team has developed a quicker process than former ones. With changes in the translation process, by using machine translation, creating a chat group, and finally a weekly one-hour online meeting, the Brazilian documentation team has been able to expedite the translation and publication process. This process will be expounded upon in hopes of being an inspiration and encouragement to many around the globe.
With the speed in which the LibreOffice software has been developing, keeping the documentation updated can be quite a challenge. The Brazilian project team has been implementing some very practical and efficient changes that have helped expedite the process.
Translation, revision and publication is a much more involving process than one can imagine. There are many challenges in both language translation, concept translation and much more.
This presentation will share where the Brazilian team is today, what the results have been, and the challenges we still have before us.

Converting LibreOffice Guides into Web Pages
Talk
en
We present the results of porting the LibreOffice User Guides into web pages aiming to be accessible from a wider set of devices. The do's and dont's of word processing practices as well as the necessary tweaks in the resulting documents will be addressed.
LibreOffice set of user guides is a valuable piece of documentation and uses the best of LibreOffice word processor to create printable books. Nevertheless we expect many users to enjoy reading our guides in browsers or even tablets and it is our wish that these web pages get properly indexed by search engines. The presentation will show the necessary changes in the guide chapters formatting and editing practices, discuss the consequences and address the issues found. Furthermore we will show the current results in the HTML export, and set landmarks for development of better HTML5 export.

LibreOffice: Improving the Project Sustainability
Talk
en
LibreOffice was announced in 2010. After 10 years, it was necessary to review and update the strategy based on the evolution of the office suite market, to improve the sustainability model. Enterprises are not supporting the project as much as individual users. Over time, this can represent a threat for the sustainability of the project. We have changed our strategy to educate enterprises about the right approach to FOSS, by giving back to ensure the long term sustainability of the LibreOffice project.

Open Source and Open Standards for Digital Sovereignty
Talk
en
Open Source Software and Open Standards – especially document formats – are of key importance for the digital sovereignty strategies of individuals, companies, organisations and governments. Today, user-created content - and the ability to share it transparently - is in the hands of a few companies, which exploit the limited digital culture of users to their advantage. This situation can only be overcome by moving from proprietary to open source software and from proprietary to open standards.
