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.
