DESCRIPTION:LibreOffice is developed\, tested\, documented\, translated and
  marketed by countless contributors from around the world and used by mill
 ions of users around the globe. This community of creators and users is ba
 cked by a non-profit foundation which not only publishes the software\, bu
 t also acts as a trustee: It gives the community its legal personality\, i
 s the guardian of trademarks and domains\, and also manages donations as w
 ell as assets. The community makes the software what it is today: the lead
 ing free and open source office suite\, available free of charge to person
 al\, business and governmental users. True to the motto “by the communit
 y\, for the community” the foundation was made possible by numerous dono
 rs from all over the world who raised the necessary capital in just eight 
 days as part of a public fundraising campaign. In this talk Florian not on
 ly explains the legal setup of The Document Foundation and how its statute
 s enshrine values and ideals like openness\, transparency and meritocracy.
  He also explains how it was designed to combine the conservative elements
  of a foundation with the modern approach of an open source project and sh
 ares a “lessons learned“ from the past 14 years to explain the challen
 ges a growing FLOSS project can face.

DESCRIPTION:Many activities these days\, be it sports\, social work\, arts 
 or free and open source software\, are organized in some sort of community
 . If backed by a respective organization\, this not only helps with settin
 g up a structure\, but also puts statutes and rules in place that set fort
 h the values and ideals all contributors should share. Inside these commun
 ities\, there can be various roles. Some of them are formalized\, like the
  board of directors or the supervisory board\, others are within dynamical
 ly grown groups that can change frequently. Either of those are ideally co
 mposed of experienced and enthusiastic community members who take leadersh
 ip and responsibility.\n\nBased on my experience from the last two and a h
 alf decades\, I’d like to point out common problems when working in an i
 nternational free and open source community\, share mistakes I’ve made a
 nd tell how you can hopefully avoid them.
