Come and hear about the economic problem space around LibreOffice, hear some of the constraints, and catch a vision for how we as a community can harness and benefit from the raw power of the free market to help turbo-charge our mission.
Understand why some of the obvious approaches bring unexpected downsides and explore the alternative possibilities as well as examples of how other projects structure themselves.
See how we can build a model whereby volunteers and ecosystem entities work alongside each other to drive the success of LibreOffice.
