Our (thb and me) talk "How to survive being sold to Oracle" at Chaos Communication Camp 2023 is now online in the final cut.

The first part is a bit of history on the OpenOffice org to LibreOffice fork -- the second is a selection of a lessons learned about the importance of a shared understanding between all contributors of an #opensource project, agreeing on the fundamentals while staying adaptive as the environment changes.

 

A discussion on how the Document Foundation (TDF), the NGO behind LibreOffice is supposed to work, what its core values are and how to improve transparency and alignment of both officers and staff of the foundation.
