Come hear about the work that has been done over the last year to improve Collabora Online, based on the LibreOffice core. Hear about new features and functionality both in core and online, and how these
intersect to deliver browser-based editing goodness.

Hear details about many of the performance improvements we've made, about entirely novel feature such as background save, as well as where we have brought more of the functionality of the LibreOffice core to the browser. Hear about our new reporting & form generation APIs to automate document building over a simple REST API, and much more.

Come and hear about some of the challenges and successes of building an open-source business around LibreOffice from Collabora Productivity's perspective. Engage with some of the various types of
open source business strategies that I've work with through my career. Hear about some of the
approaches that I've seen in action and their strengths & weaknesses.

Hear a little about the state of open source business around LibreOffice and some ideas about how the ecosystem of companies that contribute significant work back to the project can be strengthened
and grown.

Come hear about a tool that can help you to migrate Windows native apps that require Microsoft Office and use OLE integration to embed and re-use Word or Excel. See how we can use this to trace what APIs are used by a windows application, and then to transparently replace these.

Hear about the limitations and opportunities for improvement here, as well as why this is does not ship by default in LibreOffice currently.

In this session, it will be discussed how to get into the complex problems with problem solving techniques. These ideas will be useful when dealing with the large code base of LibreOffice that has evolved for many years.
