LibreOffice provides the leading implementation of the Open Document Format (ODF). Come and hear about our project, and our recent progress, and see some demos of flashy new features.

We'll look at the latest instant-messaging based collaboration prototype, see a quick demo, understand how it works, and how it is a complementary solution for the LibreOffice code structure. See some collaboration around ODF documents going on, and grok some of the challenges we face.

Finally, find out how to get involved with the LibreOffice project, from easy hacks through to heavy lifting, and discover why making your blow for Free Software in LibreOffice is so rewarding and effective.
