LibreOffice Conference 2026

Distributing LibreOffice as AppImage
2026-09-11 , Auditorium

We will look at the whole context of distributing LO as AppImage: the official position about AppImage from ESC, the community effort, the actual process of building a tailored AppImage for the necessities of users and testers, the automatic build process for the releases, feedback from userbase and how to channel it and some opportunities and threats for future development.

The intent of the talk is to get clarity on the status quo and propose solutions how to improve the actual and future situations.
