LibreOffice 10th Anniversary: the many faces of a global FOSS community
summary
Project forks from OpenOffice on September 28 2010 and grows from a small Europe‑centric volunteer base into a global community. Codebase modernizes: rewritten build system, 30k unit tests, automated fuzzing and Coverity scans that report zero defect density on Coverity. Release cadence is time‑based with two majors per year and LTS offerings via ecosystem companies; ecosystem reports 200 million users estimate and localization in 145 active languages.
