 Thank you for the introduction about the city, and now together with Florian and Michael an update on the project as traditionally we have been doing during the last conferences. We start from a map of TDF members. These are the countries where there are TDF members around the world. And as you can see, apart from Africa for well-known problems, we have an almost complete coverage. There are some countries in South America where probably we have people active, but they're not yet members. But we warmly invite everyone that is interested in the library office and contributing to the project to become a member. It is important because the wider the audience, the wider the number of people that can decide about the direction of the foundation, the better the foundation will be. And this is a map of the people that are here today. As you can see, we have people from all continents. And I would like to especially thank the people that have been flying from far away. There is people from North America, South America, there are people from South Africa and from several countries in Asia. And they have probably spent one day just by traveling to Ours to attend the conference. And I think it is important to thank all of you because you're contributing to the conference and you're contributing to the success of this event. And now let's look quickly at what has happened since last year's conference in Bern that was in September, so it's more or less the last 12 months. First thing we did the TDF at the end of, in early October 2014, became a member of the Open Source Business Alliance. It's a mainly German, but I think open to non-Germans as well, organization that wants to help the presence and introduction of open source in businesses. And we are a member of this association. The Open Source Business Alliance, for instance, in the past has contributed to the improvement of the filters to write the non-standard Office of NSML files which are still quite used, unfortunately, quite used around the world. I say no standards because they do not correspond to the ISO standard. So a standard is a standard if it's applied, not being applied, this is not a standard. It's easy. Then we have CIB, the German company from Munich, based in headquarters in Munich. It's not just from Munich. That has become a member of the advisory board. And of course it's in addition to the previous member. So just to remember that we have other companies like Collabora, Red Hat, Google, Suze, Langido, we have Studio Storti, and we have AMD, Intel, we have the Saudi Arabian Government, we have the French, MIMO, part of the advisory board. We have free software foundation, software in public interest, TI in the states. So the advisory board represents the wide origins of our community. And then the city of Munich and I think it is quite important because there have been speculations about the city of Munich in the media and the fact that the city of Munich is a member of the advisory board of the documents foundation says it all because it says that the city is still committed in free software and of course is still using free software in their infrastructure. Then in probably around April-May we had a nice surprise because the future of open source survey, this is not run by us, it's run by a black duck in the states, but the people that participated to this survey are worldwide. And we discovered that the participants of the survey have elected LibreOffice as one of the most valuable open source projects. This was not on a suggested list of software, it was on a free declaration by people. So that I think is rather significant that rather large number of people, they were over 1,300 participants, which is not a huge sample, but is quite a representative one, have decided to list LibreOffice together with projects that are more on infrastructure like Opelstack docker with Drupal and ahead of Linux and Ubuntu. I don't think that this is a real list, so we shouldn't look at real numbers, but it's important that LibreOffice has been featured there. In terms of development numbers, these are the number of code commits on LibreOffice. Of course, if you look at it with a 3D eye, you can say there's been a decrease, but I think that if you look at the reality, this is 1,000 and this is 1,250, which means that we have regularly over the last 24 months, and I can tell you even before, over 1,000 commit per month, from a diverse base, there is not a single company contributing to LibreOffice as everyone knows. So it's having this stability on a diverse development base, I think is a great achievement, and if we look at the number of people contributing each month, the red line tells you the yearly average. So as you can see, we have always been between 300 and 350. So this yearly average is not, this scale is the monthly, so you see that we can say that we are almost always over 80. There are months where we have been over 100, but what is important is that on a yearly basis we are around 300, and if you look at the latest annual report from Microsoft, it declares 320 developers on Microsoft Office. Which means, of course it doesn't, it's not comparing Apple with Apple's, but we are more or less on the same scale, which I think is rather important. If we think that, let's say, our roots in OpenOffice were around 100, so we have 3 people, more or less, a number of developers that are active on a yearly basis. Of course it's not thanks to myself because I don't develop, so it's, as everyone knows and everyone is thankful because I could destroy the code, which just won't come in. This is the road to the OpenOffice 5.0, it's just to remember that over 5 years now, because we will celebrate our 50th year next Monday, over 5 years we have been able, or better, developers have been able to maintain a constant flow of releases. These are major releases, of course, each major release has several minor releases, but I think it is important if you look at January, June, February, August, February, July, January, July, January, August. It's really quite stable, it's really predictable. I think this is one of the reasons why there is a growing interest around the OpenOffice in terms of enterprise adoption, because you can work on this schedule and you can reasonably decide about the timing of your deployment because you already know when the next major release will be and you can program your internal deployment. Always remembering, I have to explain this slide, always remembering that we maintain two branches, one that we call fresh is the 5.0.2 that will be released today. That is for, we think, individual deployment, unsupported in the sense that there is no enterprise support behind this, just because it's the newest one. We want to test it by using, with our technology enthusiast that Michael likes as a description and early adopters. But we, for deploy massive deployments, so enterprise deployment, deployments of the public administration, we still suggest the 4.4 branch, because there are LTS options available, which are important, of course, and there is professional support provided by certified individuals. So it has to be rather clear that if we suggest the deployment of the OpenOffice in a massive, in an enterprise, in a large organization, we have to suggest the 4.4, not the 5.0.0. The 5.0.0 is too risky, probably in two, three months 5.0 will be stable enough to be suggested for enterprise deployment as well. And with this one, of course, we have the announcement of LibreOffice 5.0, which has been in early August, funny enough, Microsoft decided to announce, Windows 10, the day that we originally decided to announce LibreOffice 5, and as announced, Office 16 yesterday. Being rather old, I don't believe in coincidence anymore, and I think that these guys are looking at our schedule with increasing interest, which is good, because they fear us, because otherwise they will not make the schedule on our schedule. A couple of numbers on the 5.0.0 announcement, of course, these are the non-numbers that have a meaning in the sense that they do not represent all rules, they do not represent installs, they just represent the growing interest around the announcement. This is the spike that we got on August 5th in the number of visits to the website. We usually have around 2,500, we got 25,000 in one day. This is just to show the interest, it's not downloads, it's not installs, it's not how people decided about the product, it's just interesting the announcement. That's the blog. With this blog, yes. It's just a blog. It's not a website, sorry. It's just a blog. The website is a couple of other managers. If you look at donations, this is the month of August. Of course, donations are a percentage of the downloads. Of course, not everyone that downloads decided to donate, but this was our best month ever. We started to count donations, each brick is one day of donation. Of course, this is the month, this was our best month. Probably, oh, September, which is not over, will be our second or third, which means that the interest on the 5.0 has not just been a spike, but it's maintained. If we look at the Google Trends, and here, of course, to have a comparison, I compare that with OpenOffice, because we all know that we started with a huge brand awareness problem. This is how we brought this group, and this is the projection. Of course, the projection is a Google algorithm, don't take it for granted. But if we look at the last 90 days, this is what happened. We were close behind, now we are close ahead. This is not to say that OpenOffice has problems, but this is to say that after 5 years, we have overcome. At least in Google Search is the brand awareness problem that we used to have. If I could show you the numbers about the news search we have had since 2012, which means that there has always been a higher interest in LibreOffice than in OpenOffice during the last three years. Now I leave the stage to Michael for the preview. I was up extremely late last night trying to show you why 5.0 is awesome, and all the good work you have done in the last year. None of the credit is due to me. The problem is just so much of it. The idea is that I can put everyone's name on the slide in the room, and lots of other people, but we are just not going to get through it in the time. Instead I can put anyone's name in, and I encourage you to go to Talks. There are lots of Talks by people here that have done work. Go and listen to them, go and see who did it with them, and so you can go for a death bite bullet, and we are just going to have lots of them. This is what we have done in the last year. Some of it will be meaningless to you, hopefully some of it is more meaningful. A whole Office Suite is built on a very old toolkit called VCL, and in this year we have just done some amazing work with it. We have finally finished switching our whole user interface to new XML layouts and stuff, and then we got just a much cleaner, better look. If you are a translator, perhaps you remember the battle of days of checking every dialogue to make sure the strings didn't overlap, and the buttons were sitting on top of strings. You don't need to do that anymore. The main loop has been rewritten from being this plunky, awful thing, to being something relatively sensible. We are starting to use modern hardware for rendering, and the OpenGL cross-platform API is amazing and useful, and we are really starting to do that. We have fixed a whole lot of stupid stuff in the life cycle, and we are finally working on the most desktop, beyond the leading edge we are working on, so that's great. Keep Quality, we have inherited five years ago this huge codebase of, I think, our friends at Microsoft called it a deep, legacy-rich codebase, and I think our codebase is getting less legacy-rich. It is starting to be modern and beautiful. We have moved to C++ 11, and there are some great big wins there. We have got covariate issues to zero, so there is some fantastic work there, led by Red Hat, just get this to zero. As far as we can tell, there are no covariate issues, approximately none. Crash testing, we are systematically checking that it is working well, and doing that regularly on new hardware. There is an extra unit test just this year, 1500 extra commits improving our unit tests, so we can be more and more sure the quality is improving. Jenkins, whole massive infrastructure, sent up to make sure that every commit that goes in is passing the tests and is compiling all the platforms to accelerate the pace of what we are doing. By-by-set allowing us to find what commit caused the regression, moving broader out-of-limits into Windows and Mac. New platforms, Windows 64, some great work taking that to Windows 64 platform, high DPI, so you can see your UI on the Mac without magnifying it, so you don't have to ship the special lens with it. There are beautiful, beautiful UIs there. Sandboxing Mac builds, so we can deploy these without so much security warning problems. Performance improvements all across the board, loading documents, saving the mail-merging, loading images, spreadsheet calculation, charts, remembering, indexing of documents, whether your office is used to do that and make their document systems. Interoperability, so there's just some fantastic working count here improving one of the last gaps. This table structure thing, one of the last big holes, a new formulae constantly keeping up with where we need to be interpreting the SharePoint. Again, this is all in the last year, so SharePoint 2010, 2013, OneDrive connectors, loads more interoperability work. It's lots of little bits hard to draw together. Document Liberation, another awesome project starting to deliver some real cool stuff. If you're a recovering Mac user, you've discovered software freedom and you've moved to Linux or something, you want to rescue your data. These are the modern holes in the ground today in a proprietary format, so a disaster area, but people keep creating them and this creates a problem for the future. And luckily, Document Liberation is proactively rescuing your data. So it's not just the storage drawer or the Mac draft from years ago you can get your files from, but also the latest disaster areas of the future are being fixed in advance, pre-mending the brokenness, which is good. The Daily PageMaker did just some great work going on there and improving lots of the existing filters for Microsoft Works. Getting better data out of this stuff and publishing some exciting things there. Libroff is kits and we've also done a huge amount of work to make Libroff as reusable so you can wrench the heart out a bit and put it somewhere else. On your mobile phone, just a huge amount of work there, funded by various people to make this a great story of diversity. Lots of different players putting money and investment in to get this working nicely on Android. We have now edited a year ago, but we didn't at all. So Android proved a lot. And again, built around this idea of a core of Libroff as it can be used. Libroff is online, we'll see a lot of things about that at this conference, check it out. It's basically using the same approach as was used on Android. It's really cool and we apply it. So it's a great start there. I'll just finish with this slide, really. One of the things I'm excited about, and hopefully in 5.0 we can focus more, more love on is the user experience. We have now a very beautiful, fast-performing, lovely, sexy, increasingly clean head base. But I think there's so much we can do in the user experience today. So if I can encourage you not to fix low-level stuff and fix high-level stuff, make it easy as you use. So in the last year, a new breeze came as if I had updates. We had competitions in the new templates which we've shared. I can read the bullet points to you. There's just lots and lots of little things. User experience is often thought of as just a series of paper cuts. If you get enough paper cuts, your limb is sore off, your hands fall off. So let's try to stop people injuring themselves in lots of little ways with LibreOffice. And there's so much more we can do. So this is really just a subset of detail we went in from so, so many people out there in the community. I'd just love to thank you guys for showing up, for contributing, for translating, for putting code in, for just being involved in your system, making it richer and stronger. You're up. Thank you. Yeah, that was my side. Thanks so much for those my slides and sharing what's been going on behind the scenes and the code. In Thursdays and lives, we have heard about the strong base of contributors to LibreOffice, what's going on, how people are contributing. Actually, I would like to introduce you to a couple of more people who are with TDF to show what we're doing. So you know that you're conducting a conference to align what kind of things they have to be doing. And just use this one. So, first let me introduce you, I guess most of you already know her, Sophie. You can quickly stand up. So, first of all, thank you so much, Sophie was together with the local team who's done an amazing job, as you all can see, has been running the since, for a couple of years already, the LibreOffice conference from the TDF side. So that's one of the working areas. Then we have a lot of people from the native language communities that took a while to travel here, which I really appreciate. And Sophie basically is acting as a gateway for those native language communities trying to pull the strings on documentation, localization, QA, anyone who ever asked for some travel refunds, most likely have had contact with Sophie and a couple of other things. So, yeah, that's Sophie. So, if you're interested in what she does and would like to exchange with God, she's around during the full conference. Then we have we have a couple. Secret curtain, obviously. As you can see, this is our guy for marketing, so actually he's the nice man, whenever you're down in the LibreOffice and you see this, well, he can support us within the nation, he's the first picture you can see. So, it's you can support us and that seems to work quite well. So, it was doing marketing, we tried to put up the local marketing to encourage the native language communities to get with Sophie to interact with the marketing to get contact with journalists. I think about offering a media training during this conference for those who would like to get a bit more insight in how to be with journalists and how to act their ethos, your guy. Etho also has been working hard on the certification program that's in place. So, thank you very much, Etho, for that. Then, Klof. He actually has a real first. They all own my Klof and it's Christian, so for those who are curious. Actually, Klof is the one that you don't need to deeper off. And get your final build on the machine and use it. It's a lot of merits are in him for creating the final build together with volunteers to identify the many last blockers or distributing them on our service, so they have a little worldwide. Basically, Klof is everywhere where you need it, which is in so many places and actually one where you can just sleep it by. So, he's around for the Sylvester CMS, whenever a native language community is translating the website, it's Klof, so he's in a lot of things. So, thanks a lot for all the work and same as for the others, if there are any questions you'd like to get in touch with him, he's around during all the conference. And we have Alex. Alex has the poor fate of not just when things are not working. So, I think this working part behind the scenes to provide the infrastructure to keep the services running, all the maintenance, the website, the normal infrastructure and all those sorts of things that are used and the guarantee instance which even I understand is rather a crucial component of our ecosystem. So, Alex is trying that and like with other areas, IMPRA always is looking for volunteers or contributors and I think also have a talk to outline a bit on what's going on. So, if you're interested in joining the IMPRA folks, Alex is your guy talk to him. Then, Robinson. So, Robinson is our QA engineer. Robinson is the guy looking for QA, triage, bucks. Taking care of the bucks is an instance that we have been running since January this, trying to modify the way that we can make use of it. He runs a couple of calls, I think most notably the QA call where he's constantly looking for volunteers, tries to write documentation on how to get QA to QA and support us in the efforts of improving the quality of labor office. Like I said, Robinson is around for the full conference. So, if you're interested in QA, have an output that you can give him a poll to have you. Yeah, and a couple words to me. You see, I talk a lot about So, I try to keep all of that together by some means, trying to see that things are working lots of legal and administrative stuff that is required for a foundation of that size. And, as told in words, it's pure joy being with all of you and the team. We all work out and once a year we are here together to see that the joy and the motivation of people and all of that coming together, that the achievements like the slides that we have seen and what all is happening. So, quite happy to be here. So, thank you everyone who contributes. I guess I have a lot to tell now, so we don't. Do you have some more? I have a lot to tell now. If there are any questions on those topics let me know. Happy to talk to you around all the conference. Thanks a lot Peter. The last part is about the announcement that we have been making around the conference. The first one is going to be 5.0.2, which is going to be released in 1 hour and 30 minutes more or less as soon as I get all of my PC again because I have to fire off the press release. Then, yesterday we have announced our launch. It's not managed by the Document Foundation, it's managed by a third party company and TDF gets a small percentage out of every purchase. We have a few designs the first basic ones. Everyone is invited as I brought on the blog post yesterday if you have ideas about new gadgets, if you have ideas about science, if you have ideas about new kind of garments that should be on the shop send myself or Sophie an email we will get in touch with you we will make sure that your contribution is reflected into the shop. If we take a little bit of time of course we have to make sure that the production that the design is compatible with the production but then we are happy to grow to have the community grow the number of design, this is just the basic ones. Don't be shy, make your proposals. Second one we have a new company, the advisory board is a Russian company the name is Rusbitec but it's best known for Linux distribution that is used in Russia in several I would say in a growing number of public administrations so the website is in Russian so it's difficult to understand but I think that you get this one so the the Linux distribution is called Astralilux is available also in English if someone wants to have a look at it it's available in English as well it's rather difficult to find on the website because the website is just in Russian but anyway, if you take a little bit you can find it and the last announcement has been a few days ago and I can tell you that Sonia is on the flight to Oros now is from between Stansted and Oros at the moment so when Sonia will come in this afternoon I invite everyone to congratulate her because we have announced of course there has been a community effort this is a general is the guy responsible for 150,000 desktop in the Italian defense and they will be migrating to LibreOffice by the end of next year which is challenging effort as I was telling yesterday during the marketing workshop during the energy workshop the fantastic result is that we have not been approaching them, they have approached us as you could see from the where you before but you have four guys there that are the uniform if you can stand up and show the Libre Italian logo on your shoulders these are the Italian guys that approached the Italian association because the Italian association is made by several crazy people and Sonia and myself are probably the craziest we make a huge amount of noise in the market and we are so visible that even the army has written as an email and you can imagine the surprise of myself and Sonia when we saw the email with the signature Generale Camillo Cileo Capo di Stato Maggiore which means the top body in the defense but as that was not the first one that we got from such a large organization we hope to be able to announce the others one soon actually the first one we believed it was a joke when we got this one we didn't believe it was a joke we thought it was for real I think it's very important because that is not only the second largest migration to LibreOffice it's the first one where people looked just at LibreOffice there's no switch between there's no legacies there's no people going through Apache open office or open office they decided about LibreOffice and they are going straight from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice and with this is all it's for the community it's not just I mean the Italian community is the front end of the entire community in this case because we speak Italian they need to speak Italian you can imagine already Italians are not famous for being English speakers but in addition you can imagine 150,000 people scattered around the entire country you have to speak the local language but it is because there's a community behind that we have been chosen we think that the work of the community is extremely important and the first thing that we told these guys was either you engage with the community or the migration will not work because the community is the only guarantee that you have that people is committed to make this a success and I think this is only one opportunity of the many that we can have worldwide and I warmly invite you everyone to mimic what we did in Italy because these proofs that we can be successful in extremely large migration not only in small ones which are challenging as well but are easier to reach and with this one I finish these are our emails but I think we are around until Saturday so you have plenty of time to poke us if you have questions if you want slides to support your efforts and if you want to know more about the community and the LibreOffice project thank you everyone I think that we have a break now life so the program says we are broken we probably are even on time we are more than on time next lecture ok so let's gather here again at 11.30 because we have to start at 11.30 so you have 10 minutes to sit down and and sorry just a final comment the way we I am Italian you cannot exchange myself for any other country in the world let's say that Italy is not known for organization and I will stop here on the comment the way that Libre Italia is organized is that because of this let's say perception we are sitting on a pole on the north pole so we are not in the general's when the generals are asking because now we receive regularly emails from generals if they have something at 7 o'clock in the evening they usually have the answer by 8 o'clock in that same evening not even the morning after and this is one of the things that have gained the confidence because they have always got when we have to write documents because you need some time to write documents but when the answer was can we schedule trainings we will start training them on October 15 can we schedule training we really reply in a matter of minutes and I think this is something that is important for us as a community we have a confidence problem against large corporation I am not saying that large corporation behave better than us but they are thought to behave better than us and if we show that we behave better than corporation we can really win on large challenges like the one that we are running now in Italy but I can't go I mean
