Come hear about many of the large number of Open Source Office suit projects that have been developed over time in this space - from the early history of KDE and GNOME suites, through OpenOffice and its many derivatives, as well as newer and peripheral code-bases, and office adjacent suites running on FLOSS platforms.
Get some insight into the trajectory, ODF interoperability and feature-set of each of these, and how they compare to a recent LibreOffice.
