Sessions
This talk reports on organizing LibreOffice Asia Conference 2025 (Tokyo, December 13-14, 2025), co-hosted with GNOME Asia Summit 2025. LibreOffice's local team normally decides everything, while GNOME Asia's local team only handles on-the-ground tasks — so our team ended up doing both. On the preparation side: venue, this dual structure, the call for papers, visas, meals, printed materials, and a post-conference tour, along with the thinking behind these decisions. On the outcomes side: discussion at the event was genuinely lively, and it did strengthen connections between communities — though it's hard to measure exactly how much. This is a first-hand, practical account of what it took to run this event.
This talk continues my "State of CJK issues" series. Last year I covered Gaiji (special user-defined characters). This year has two parts.
Part 1 looks closely at Japanese line-breaking rules. Certain characters cannot start or end a line. Past talks only showed what happens when you switch a setting on or off. This time, I explain why the rules work that way. I use JLREQ, a W3C document that ODF itself refers to. Then I check how closely LibreOffice follows it.
Part 2 gives a broader update on CJK bugs. I show a few bugs fixed this past year, and a few still open. All of them come from tdf#83066, the main CJK bug tracker on Bugzilla.
