A path for LibreOffice in Europe (and beyond)

LIbreOffice is already a great software very well usable in multiple domains. But how it can be more spread into public? In this session I will present a roadmap (not "the roadmap") for more support for LibreOffice in Europe with use of grants from different sources. With such grants we can accelerate work in translation, education, marketing, and even development of LibreOffice, while providing better compensation to activists than by volunteering. While learning to participate in a new grant programe can be challenging at first, with right direction, support and time it becames easier. Especialy when your colleagues from other countries are doing it too. And, well, I learned how to do it, so you can as well ;-) The session will focus on Europe but with some modifications can be used for other parts of Earth.

LibreOffice build system – quickest way to get your first build

It used to be that setting up a build environment was complicated if you were not using Linux, and even then it was tedious. But there have been many improvements in streamlining the dependencies and setting it up these days is pretty easy and straightforward actually. And we have integrations into many IDEs as well. The talk focuses on Windows, since there has been the most progress/biggest changes, but the other platforms (macOS/Linux) are covered as well.

Reducing LibreOffice build time with include-what-you-use, v2

Compilation time of the LibreOffice core is a continous concern, one way to reduce it is to use include-what-you-use to reduce the compiler input, by removing unneeded headers. The include-what-you-use tool and our wrapper script was continously improved and used to achieve this. In this talk I'll try to give an overview of the results and ideas for possible future improvements.

Security for young Developers - Securing Your Systems, the LibreOffice Supply Chain & the Code You Write

This talk intends to give developers pragmatic starting points about what to think in terms of security. But it'll also cover some handy FOSS tools to actually strengthen security. It will be shown how virtualization, Linux namespaces and containerization tools can be leveraged. As well as what to look for when importing a new library or using new development tools you found "lying at the roadside of the Internet". But we'll also shed some light on how you as a developer influence the security of people who use your software and how to secure your devices and accounts properly. slides and video recording: https://oc.kolahilft.de/index.php/s/SX9pCF4dLwB8wSf PUBLIC CONFIRMED Talk https://events.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice-conference-2025/talk/FUWBZU/ Auditorium Moritz Duge PUBLISH X7GPAD@@events.documentfoundation.org -X7GPAD Free Software Development Beyond Developers en en 20250904T171500 20250904T174500 0.03000

Free Software Development Beyond Developers

Free (Libre) Software gives users right to modify the software. However, many times, the focus is on features that are more interesting for developers to work on. This unfortunately means that features which are less interesting to develop but still desired by users don't get prioritized enough. For instance, re-writing an existing software in their favorite programming language might be more attractive to a developer than adding a missing feature to an existing software written in a programming language they don't like. Prav(https://prav.app) is a free software messaging app and service based on the federated XMPP protocol - does the reverse - the community votes on features to be added and then hires developers to implement those features. DEPHCOM is another community geared towards making Debian for mobiles more user-friendly. In DEPHCOM, we fund developers to add features based on user needs. In this talk, I will share the story of Prav and DEPHCOM - two free software projects where user needs are prioritized in order to add features and drive software development.

Spreading Free Software Knowledge

Advocating for free software isn't just a matter of personal values (although it would be reason enough alone): it is an essential building block of any free society. In 2025, most people interact more or less with software that is controlled by a tech industry that jealously guards its secrets. When the choice to understand and alter the technology that runs our world is locked away, we the people are forced to live in a non-free society. We don't have to accept an existence reminiscent of dystopian novels. While free software doesn't guarantee a free society, it does provide many kinds of frameworks and tools needed for building and sustaining free societies. At the individual user level, free software is an important component of a free society because it allows users to study source code and alter it to suit their needs instead of the desires of proprietary vendors. With freedom in mind, there is no good reason why a tech giant should be able to tell you how, on which device, and for what purpose you can run a program. There are only bad reasons to deprive you of the freedom to study, modify, and share the program. Everyone should have the choice to control their own computing. At a governmental level, a free society is dependent on accountable governance that is influenced only by its people, not by outside entities. When a government uses proprietary software, power is ripped away from the people and sold to the highest-paying corporation. Residents of a country have significantly less influence over their government when it's controlled by private money, and as a consequence, much less control over the laws in place, the choices they have, and who gets to watch the lives they lead. There may even be a strong suggestion or requirement to use proprietary software for government business. In addition to all of these freedom violations resulting from a government using non-free or jailed software, the government (and basically anyone), is unable to shield itself from foreign influences accessing a possibly unlimited amount of information. A government run on proprietary software must be held accountable by its people for not using free or open software. For a society to be free, everyone must possess freedom of speech and the right to express dissent through protest. Free software allows activists to check and confirm privacy on their devices and channels before organizing and discussing issues. It allows movements and journalists, no matter how autocratic the society, to coordinate protests, express opinions, and publish facts without fear of prosecution or even violence. Free software makes it possible for people at every level to work for a free society. A society is not free when it is rife with injustice, and free software is a vital weapon against injustice. Free software helps remove barriers to seeking any kind of information that a person may need or want, from life-saving reproductive and gender-affirming healthcare to how to build a computer from scratch and program troubleshooting. It allows scientists of all levels and backgrounds to contribute to disaster response programs and equity-informed technology solutions that make human existence more sustainable. Free software also makes it possible for us to have control over the medical technology that helps keep us healthy. If you look at an aspect of a society that is currently not free and just, there is probably a way that free software can contribute to it being more free. We don't have to accept the "predetermined" path of non-freedom. You and I, and everyone else who lives on this planet, deserve to make our own choices when it comes to software. We shouldn't be forced to allow tech giants to control our destinies. We can decide who gets to have a say over our technology and our societies. Contd ........

UI and Theming Improvements --- The Past, The Present and The Future

The Appearance tab was redesigned after the GSoC project, themes were first bundled then simplified. Document colors were first changed as per the application theme, but then a toggle was added to force use the white document colors. There were themes, which represented groups of various UI elements and appearance which specified light/dark/system color modes. These were merged into one entity "LibreOffice Theme" for sanity. Then there was a second project which focused on improving the overall appearance on windows by implementing native widgets. This ended in disaster however as windows doesn't have any modern widget toolkit, win32 just couldn't do it and WinUI3 has been abandoned by Microsoft. A lot of small issues were identified and which when grouped together make LibreOffice look "old/not-modern" on windows, and a number of action items were created, which are currently being worked upon. the welcome dialog was a welcome addition to the batch by Heiko, which increases the visibility of various UI options which the user otherwise wouldn't have discovered intuitively.

When my font or document is not rendering as expected.

Some users have rendering issues in LibreOffice documents due to defective fonts being installed. The problem is that there are no tools inside LibreOffice to easily identify this issue. I propose developing a tool to improve diagnostics.

Creating University-Specific Thesis Templates in LibreOffice: A Step Toward Wider Use in Japan and Asia

In Japan, universities often require students to follow specific formatting rules for writing theses and reports. These rules are usually based on Microsoft Word and include detailed settings for fonts, line spacing, margins, and layout. However, these requirements are different at each university, which makes it hard to follow them using LibreOffice. In this session, I will share how I recreated one university’s thesis format using LibreOffice Writer. I will explain the steps I took, such as setting up styles, adjusting fonts, and making the layout match the original Word version. I will also talk about a larger project: creating and sharing many templates, each made for a different university. Instead of using one general template, this project builds a collection of specific templates that others can use and improve. It will make LibreOffice more useful in Japanese schools, and it can also help in other Asian countries with similar formatting needs. Looking ahead, these templates could also be extended to meet the formatting requirements of academic conferences, helping LibreOffice gain wider adoption in research and professional writing.
