LibreOffice Technology, a FOSS platform for personal productivity
summary
LibreOffice is a maintained FOSS productivity platform that moves from a desktop fork into a single engine powering desktop, mobile and cloud front ends and commercial builds (Collabora, Allotropia, Red Hat, SUSE). The codebase is refactored with Gerrit, Jenkins, tinderboxes, Coverity and fuzzers, runs automated checks on 50,000 test documents, attracts 1000 new developers in early years, and reduces defect density from ~1.1 to 0.000something. Estimates show 3–4M downloads per month and ~200M users.
