The LibreOffice project is aimed at multilingualism, as stated in The Document Foundation's "Our Values" of "Our Next Decade Manifesto" that anyone can translate so that everyone can use it in their mother tongue.

However, LibreOffice developers are mostly in Europe, and in order to use them conveniently in other languages, those who understand those languages need to solve the problem. Libr...

This talk is about Kuliax Project, a (stalled) project that aims to bring Free Software/Open Source to higher education. It developed a GNU/Linux desktop distribution named Kuliax with version 6.0 in 2006, 7.0 in 2010, and no release since then. However, we still have desire to wake this project up and probably reboot it with new spirits and directions.

In any organization, several open source projects are typically running concurrently. In order to identify the relationships among those projects, a common approach is to is to establish a project portfolio and/ or a programme management structure. This assists in identifying common objectives for the business organization, identifying and managing risk, and identifying resource connections.

If you are interested in openSUSE, sooner or later you will probably learn how packages and specfiles work. But packaging is not static knowledge that you learn once and are good to go. The rules change over time, new macros are created and old ones are erased from history, new file paths are used and the old ones are forgotten. So how can one keep up with these changes?

In this presentation...

We have recently released a big step in improving Collabora (thus LibreOffice) Online installability for home users. A large barrier to liberating the documents of home-users, eager to take advantage of our privacy and ease of use, was the complexity of installing the solution by following the path of getting certificates, configuring web server proxies, port numbers, and so on. We set abo...

Word fields are far more flexible than ODF/Writer fields - to most users, the additional expressiveness doesn't matter, but for some specialized use cases, Writer is limited. Writer had a rudimentary implementation of Word compatible fields for about 10 years, but it never worked well. We have added the ability to round-trip nested Word fields in RTF/DOCX formats, and fixed a bunch of long st...

Event logging is a central source of information both for IT security and operations, but different teams use different tools to collect and analyze log messages. The same log message is often collected by multiple applications. Having each team using different tools is complex, inefficient and makes a system less secure. Using a single application to create a dedicated log management layer ind...

Something is not right: databases of known FOSS software vulnerabilities are mostly proprietary and privately maintained. Why is there no free and open data solution alternative? After all this is all about FOSS code. Security data is too important to not be free.

Indigenous people in Taiwan have been in a socioeconomically disadvantaged position due to the mistakes made by the government and the dominant class. The native languages were replaced by Mandarin and then marginalized by the technology.

The desktop operating systems we've been using for the last decades require far too much effort to maintain. What we need is a simple desktop that can be given to anyone, that always updates itself, that always repairs itself, and while the base system might always be up to date, users should be able to get to pick whatever apps they want to on top of it.

This is the basic premise of the Mic...

Well, I do not know. What do I know, though, is that it has been my "daily driver" for a couple of months now. And it still is, and I am pretty happy about it!

But let's make a step back. I have almost always used rolling distribution as I --entirely out of personal taste-- can't live without updated (bleeding-edge?) software. So I'm use to the occasional breakage that comes with them. It's ...
