 Can you hear me great fantastic Michael take it away fantastic. Well, thank you so much for coming So I'm gonna talk a little bit about collaboration line just to show you what it is and then well, let's see So what is it? Well a wonderful digital sovereign on premise powerful whizzy with document editing suite So you can see some of the stacked up beauty from the right-hand side there But allowing you to then view and collaboratively it is on all kinds of documents pretty much everything that's LibreOffice will allow you to edit a bring bring that into your browser a great interoperability Filters for all sorts of crazy things that you might want to see and our architecture is is a bet I guess on CPU threads and networking are getting cheaper So, you know, we don't hold it to work with AMD on horizons You know, our threads are getting cheaper and cheaper and the more and more of them and that's really encouraging And we can use those to to provide a beautiful beautiful experience Consistence everywhere and of course the network continues to get faster. So how does it look? Well? We've been doing a whole lot of work on user experience. So these are the you know, the latest shots are showing you I guess one UI option So you guys heavily configurable But this is something that's familiar to Microsoft office users I guess you can see our notebook bar across the top there Hopefully it's got a palette of tools people like there's also a sidebar Which works better on a 16 by 9 so the screen to fit functionality in and give you more space to see a document Yeah, so you say obviously we're processing change tracking a beautiful stuff spreadsheets, you know all of the all of the formulae and the core engine that you've come to know and love and What a powerful core engine it is in terms of you know, efficiency of representation threading performance of Calculation and so on so some really awesome spreadsheet stuff behind I mean a drawing application that allows you to do you know Diagramming and drawing and font work and all sorts of fun things there and then presentations as well One of the interesting things is that well one of the unique features here is just being able to edit masterpages So that you can actually you know create a slide slide deck and make it look like you want it to and edit all of the Pieces in your slides are rather than being kind of locked out of changing things on your masters See a great transition support and so on and you can see the the sidebar there is actually well This is new. I'll talk about this in a minute the new stuff in 2011. So we froze this last year. It's now really shipping And we'll be shipping a new version I guess in in a month or two based on another year of interoperability work under the hood in the libre office technology But anyway, 2011 so all sorts of good things. So particularly interesting is this right to left support So if you're an indic or arabic Hebrew type language You know, we can flip your spreadsheet around your ui around and hopefully everything feels much more familiar and easy easy to use and understand We've done a lot to improve a powerpoint pptx filter as particularly and various core functionality there for cropping and mirroring images adding shadows And you know sort of interoperable shadow effects. It's really important that your slides look As you expect them to see obviously, you know, I'm match. What's what's the the competition had So glow effects as well a multi column texts. So a silly feature that well, I don't know It's now there. So you you don't see broken slides that we're using that Bottom to top left to right vertical for text frames, you know, very very nice and right up and there's another key feature here, I guess, which is this JS sidebar so I mean, it's really it's really cool. Um, essentially instead of rendering the sidebar as pixels And in fact, this is now true of many dialogues in in our latest release We we render all of that on the browser side So this is all done with css and theming and styling and we can make that look really gorgeous Actually, this is a terribly old a picture of a prototype of this but perhaps you saw it earlier in the uh In a more polished form in in in the screenshot and this this brings several Interesting things. Actually, this builds on some work by red hat to do gtk theming on linux. So You know, so actually on linux you would be using, you know, native gtk widgets for almost everything in the ui now And I believe there's some qt stuff as well But we essentially convert that to jason and shove it over the wire so that when things change We send very small deltas and changes. So it's actually, you know, it's quicker. It's more beautiful And it's uh, you know, just Allows you to theme it and make it look gorgeous Some other features we dumped in recently are anchoring of of images So you can very precisely affect the layout of your documents and get that exactly right So that's kind of good. Uh, and you know, there are lots of different anchor modes And you can see there again the palette on the side and some of the good things you can do with images You know, if you select an image we can be recoloring it and Contours, you know around to change how the uh the text wraps around it and so on, you know Lots and lots of rich powerful text layout functionality Another piece that's new is uh, welcoming welcoming people to the app so that, you know, when you get there, you can see what's new Uh, you can explore, uh, you know, what you should be playing with and looking at and so on Another thing that's been asked for by some of our larger government Customers is an accessibility checker. So this originally was written for the dutch standards uh dutch standards organization. I believe the accessibility standards organization and uh We brought that recently to to online for a german government organization Which we're which we're working with um as part of the the phoenix project actually which is an interesting bundle of functionality That's shipping in in german government Uh, but anyway, perhaps that'll be announced later. Anyway, the key is if you're creating documents and handing them to people Publishing them online. It's really important that those are nicely accessible for our our users And so, you know, it's it's important then that we can we can check these things jump to the issues and fix those up So we can produce a beautiful outbound accessible documents Another big thing that we're doing is uh taking that ui particularly that sidebar ui there and wrapping that into a single Hand mobile ux. So there's some some pretty cool things there Um that are happening. You can see some some pictures of that and in our new release which is coming next week It should have been this week, but we you know, anyway, we like to uh Get these things working. We have this this cool new functionality here of One-handed a context based quick toolbar So often you want to use the whole screen of your phone as you can see on the right hand side there To see as much of the document as you can And so we then provide this fast tool palette at the bottom Uh for the things that you would most want to do for that and that's now context sensitive So it shows obviously different things for text as for uh images of charts or whatever whatever you're selecting draw shapes So that's kind of nice. Um, so in addition to all of these sort of advanced palettes You can access by pressing the properties Properties button and you know get a deep dive into the whole whole wealth of Properties that you have on things. You know, you're able to do things quickly as well. Um, just with one hand So one thing I wanted to talk about and I think it's really important is is getting security rights and having a good design here. So, um, one of the one of the interesting things here is these, uh Is how we contain all of our our document data there so in terms of Wrapping that up and keeping it safe. Uh, Libroff is eight million lines of code Um, it's it's pretty it's pretty tricky to audit that and we do a huge amount of work To test it and and well, I'll just go through the pieces But inside at the core of what we do we have that Libroff. Let's get rendering Um Something's going wrong Who's lost your camera and your screen share? Oh, that's excessive excessively exciting I let me see you You know, uh, so let's try that And then at least at least I can hear you. Uh, so so so that's kind of cool cameras up Yep Let me get rid of that. I'm getting some interesting color issues. So I'm gonna just um I'm gonna hide my uh, my toolbar and do it like this It's not not as cool, but um Yeah, anyway, so can you hear me again? Can you see the picture? We can see you but we can't see your screen chair. You can't see my screen. Ah, I've lost the problem to share it Oh, hello, you come back again. Stop being presenter somehow Yeah, I Think he's helping me Can you see it now? Yes Sorry about that. I suspect someone is clicking a button somewhere. Anyway, here we go So the key is uh to secure this this eight million lines of c++ in the center I would do all some things there. So we have this great covariate score that's below the Linux kernel So it's a static checking. I would do load testing. We have a ch root for each document So we stick each document in a container And its own container, I guess I we have a very sparse file system in there. Um, so there's no shell. There's nothing Well, you know, it's very hard to do anything in there even if you can break out And we also filter system calls because you know some system calls, you know, numeric rebalance something or other Have have nothing to do with our software and that shouldn't be run So we we try and knock out calls that have been historically problematic from a security perspective Um, and then of course you couldn't put that in virtual machines or you know But but I think one of the key things from from security perspective is you can put that on premise So then you can control your own networking. You can control your firewall your vpns Or you know, you can fully lock this thing down and you can make sure it, you know, nothing nothing leaves your site Uh without you knowing about it So I think that that multi layer onion there is it's really really important And actually we have another feature that is that is really quite quite interesting called secure view So one of the problems that many businesses have Is that they come up with a new product or a new design or something that they want They want to get feedback on it, right? But it's actually really market sensitive and you you don't want your competitors to see it You don't want them to get wind of what you're doing particularly. You don't want them to see exactly what it looks like So you have an automotive company that um That has this problem as a customer Many other highly secure people that like like this And so the question really is how can you keep you keep the stuff secret and tell people about it so you can get feedback And the answer really is secure view. I don't know if you can see here this watermark on the screen it should say you know highly confidential and and so on um and We can put your name into that as well So that you can see these things you can share those designs and you can get feedback whilst being sure That the document never leaves your server So, you know, we send we send pixels. They're all or watermark You know, it would be nice not to even send pixels, of course, but uh, you know, realistically, uh, it's important that You know, people can see something on the screen. Otherwise, well, you know, what are you going to do? Now there's some various other options to try and achieve the similar level of You know protection. So one of these which is surprisingly popular Our competition did this is essentially to send the whole document to everyone with even the lowest view access Just to send the whole document model to the client And if you if you render your documents in the client You have this problem that you can't render the document unless you have it Um, so, you know f12, you know, can defeat whatever silly policy enforcement or watermarking or stuff that's put on the top And, you know, of course there's a microsoft approach, which is much more rigorous. Um, you know, so they encrypt the documents So they send encrypted documents everywhere. They send their, you know, aes keys or whatever to the azure cloud And before those will be handed out to your offer operating system Policy will be enforced and checked. So, you know, everything is signed from the bottom up And we check that we've got the very latest microsoft office that will enforce that policy of Not allowing copy and paste or not allowing print or save as or, you know, this sort of thing And so this works It's a model of work. The only problem with it, of course, is that you have this massive Single point of failure. You put all of the document keys for your documents into the azure cloud And, you know, and then then microsoft has to sign everything from the bottom up Um, so not not cool. I would argue this way And so our approach, which then allows you to federate and collaborate with other people Whilst ensuring the document doesn't leave your premise is just really, you know, ah So much more beautiful open standards, you know clean browsers Just a little web socket protocol and you still get that that ultra ultra secure Yeah, I'm sorry my thunderbird is is plaguing me. Um Ultra secure view so One of the things I'm encouraged about and I just just look at look at some education references here. I told you I would Point out some other people using collaborate online A left and right with with some of our partners because collaborate online really doesn't work well by itself It has to be integrated into an own cloud next to our IDOC 5e group where High drive or something else that does the storage and authentication for us I just look at education here because education is interesting microsoft gives very low Prices or free, you know, google provides, you know, relatively free services, although free is really Get supported by some, uh, you know Large markets dominance in some other sphere. Um, so it's really encouraging to see lots of educational institutions Actually deploying this, you know, 66 000 users here are growing quickly surf net. Um, a french french public sector here health care and public sector lots lots of things there, but you know some some schools examples, uh, you know Coming up 33 000 people's there and you know doing great stuff Leal 67 000 so lots of people around around the place using Using collaborate online very actively and we'd love to have you work with us and make it all better for all of those Those people say how do you get involved? Well, this is of course the million dollar question So all of the code is open source. You can go and grab it there and compile it for yourself either for android or ios Or promo s of course we run on as well using the android the android version But there's all sorts of community resources there We have um, actually meetings weekly you can find out all of the minutes in the forum Everyone's welcome to come Get involved development ask questions and it's actually really encouraging to see a number of people in the community And risk kinds risk matt various others doing doing design and user experience and tweaking and making Making it more and more beautiful. Um, you can help with websites. There's lots of sdk examples So if you're interested in taking this and embedding it into your tool, maybe maybe you just want some fun nailing of Documents so you can get pretty pretty images and collaborate online provides a really simple way to deploy that And then a really smooth Yeah, there's almost no dependencies for collaborate online I mean apart from the the brofist kit or collaborate office Underneath it which which we bundle into docker images for you so Yeah, yeah, and actually one of the even more fun things that we have is is this tool called git pod, which is fantastic So git pod allows you to just in your browser Without setting up a development environment without having to do anything Horrible you can you can load the code in git pod and you can be just at the point where it's all pre-built It's already you can follow the steps. You can change something and you can see your change Very very quickly without needing, you know, large build tree or lots of effort To do that. So hopefully the barrier to entry there is is is really really low And you know, you can you can play with it, you know in in these various harnesses There's all sorts of things that we can do to configure the ui hiding menus and toolbars and changing things and Fiddling around adding our own pieces to it Uh, that that makes it, you know, very simple and to write an integration this wappy light protocol It's just a put it's just a get we you know, we download Uh the document from your url and just comes off a web server and then we do a post to send it back again I mean That's that's pretty much it. There's there's one more get which we do which gives Like your username and whether you have access to the file and you know, this kind of thing avatar links Are the permissions that you have and so on but it's kind of trivial and that that just comes back I believe in the jason blog That shows what you can and can't do so really is just three methods to make it work It's really easy have a play And there you are and you get all of this good stuff Of course the the mobile piece there is really just reusing the existing mobile UI our responsive UI for the collaborative editor Actually natively on the device. So we'll run the server and the client both in those Both on the same device so you can work offline which is kind of cool And if you're looking at a really full feature office suite on a tablet, for example You know we Your tablet can behave almost essentially like the desktop app if you like that Obviously has a better touch a touch interface But you know, you can plug a keyboard in and I mean you have the full application there Um, and of course it can behave like a mobile phone as well if you if you like that. So it's it's very very powerful So well, what can I say? Here we are Secure of course Our private so you can control it Open source inevitably. It's pretty which is well important and and we're making it incrementally prettier I think that's the other thing. We'd love your help with that. Perhaps you saw something that annoyed you You know pixel you wanted to move today and you know you can get involved and do that submit a you know change to the css or You know get involved in some javascript there It's improving very rapidly. We're doing a huge amount of work and much more to come I'll say a little bit about what we're working on now And you know, we have that LibreOffice technology underneath it. That's that's awesome too So, I mean, let me encourage you to contribute there. I think you know, there's a lot of cool stuff happening in LibreOffice And you know, good to get involved in the code Um, and it's it's really easy to get involved and make a difference. We'd love to love to have you there Um, and of course that's the community side It's the product side but but really taking back control of your data is is I think probably a moral imperative Uh, you know, we have an interesting convergence in Europe and it was really interesting to hear the talk talk before about you know data traps and and Well digital sovereignty is the positive framing but the data trap is the negative one and so we see, you know, just mi6 in the uk which is our spy agency talking about, you know, the dangers of Surrendering all of your data and this data trap that we can't can't accept losing our sovereignty as a country And but then, you know, you also see that the pirate party on the other other side european union Talking about the importance of digital sovereignty and they're basically all singing from the same hymn sheet So my hip is this is an idea whose time has well come And uh, yeah, so you see get get out there get at the head of the curve Deploy it and see see what you can get And there's this really unique view feature there with secure view I think that that's great not just unique that you can have it on premise control it and be confident In it But also that you can then share and collaborate and you can federate that with other people's instances And that's a really useful business tool to be able to share, you know, secret information get feedback interaction and so on We're very widely deployed 80 plus million docker image downloads You know millions of paying users out there We're thrilled to be able to turn Your support as customers into new feature function and great new open source. So thank you very much and that's
