Abstract

Come hear how how Collabora Online has brought LibreOffice technology to mobile devices and to your web-browser. Hear about: * adding collaborative editing to a legacy-rich code-base * Linux security / isolation pieces we use to make that sensible * how we make that scalable & performant * the exiting drop-offs of the Web APIs we have to use * the joys of native JS mapping of UX * business constraints on engineering: the use of map widgets, for document rendering: you are here → ←, and/or why we’re now Collabora Online. And of course, get some updates on new user-experience changes, what’s coming next, and how to contribute to our mission of making Open Source rock!
