https://tube.kockatoo.org/videos/watch/fe9d6844-dfa9-4cc1-b332-115bf4876b0e Join a founder of LibreOffice for an in-depth look at the current state of open source Office applications on the Linux desktop. This talk will explore the evolving landscape of productivity tools, comparing different approaches to native platform integration and the ongoing challenges of keeping pace with rapidly changing desktop toolkits. We will examine modern packaging and distribution strategies, including native packages, Flatpak, and Snap, and discuss the practical implications for users and administrators. Topics such as font management, printing, and the balance between online and offline collaboration will be covered from a real-world deployment perspective. A key focus of the session is the growing importance of digital sovereignty. Office suites are not just productivity tools - they are central to how organizations create, store, and control their data. Using real migration efforts such as those in Schleswig-Holstein and the Austrian military, we will explore how public institutions are reducing dependency on proprietary vendors by adopting open standards like ODF, and open source solutions. This includes regaining control over document formats, update cycles, and data flows, as well as the broader challenges that come with such transitions. Finally, the talk will showcase recent design improvements and new features in Collabora Office on the desktop, highlighting how modern open source solutions continue to evolve to meet both user expectations and strategic requirements. Whether you are a developer, system integrator, or FOSS end-user, this session provides insight into the technical and organizational realities shaping the future of Office on the Linux desktop. The Linux App Summit (LAS) brings the global Linux community together to learn, collaborate, and help grow the Linux application ecosystem. Through talks, panels, and Q&A sessions, we encourage attendees to share ideas, make connections, and join our goal of building a common app ecosystem.
