Another update for today: We're planning to revive LibreOffice Online, a web-based version of the suite that users can deploy on their own infrastructure: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/02/24/libreoffice-online-a-fresh-start/

@libreoffice how would this differ from collabora and nextcloud ? One thing which is needed is the ability to share a document publicly for comments but not for edits. NextCloud and Cryptpad don't offer that yet. It's the only feature that keeps me on google docs unfortunately.

@libreoffice WOOT!

[jsc@hcommons.social]

@libreoffice I love me some LibreOffice. What an outstanding platform that just helps people and makes them happy! Have been a user for about a year now. Such a good product. C.f. FOSS, y'all.

[bluewinds@tech.lgbt]

@libreoffice Sweet! I was looking for something like this last year, and will definitely give it a try when I get a chance!

[sebzuen@toot.community]

@vwbusguy @MichelPatrice @libreoffice also throwing @protonprivacy Docs in here, functionally simplistic but lookwise amazing!

[ambroisie@nixos.paris]

@libreoffice is there any comparison with Collabora online?

[iarfhlaitho@mastodon.ie]

@libreoffice Great news! I hope this becomes easy to deploy too. Not the responsibility of LibreOffice necessarily, just that I hope it will be available via Docker / YunoHost / Snapcraft etc.

@WestFox35 @libreoffice

It's already there: it's called Nextcloud Office and it's perfect. It's a rebranding of Collabora Office and I guess LibreOffice Online will be the same.

@Scott_Trakker @libreoffice Competition is always good

[chavestoteles@mastodon.social]

@libreoffice so this could be a kind of federate servers for web based suite? It sounds cool.

[wolfinpdx@pdx.social]

@libreoffice

This would be amazing!

@sebzuen @MichelPatrice @libreoffice @protonprivacy Unless I'm missing something obvious, that doesn't appear to be LibreOffice based?

[rocky1138@dosgame.club]

@libreoffice It's been refreshing to work offline with actual, native, local desktop apps after being part of the web 2.0 generation for so long. I don't think I'll ever go back to using cloud office tools except where required. However, there is clearly a market for this sort of thing, and so, congratulations!

@vwbusguy

I'm not sure if you are replying to ma about Collabora, but my understanding is that Collabora is based on LibreOffice. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collabora second paragraph.)

I didn't know that it could run standalone. I installed it using Yunohost and self-hosting knowledge and capacities are somewhat limited.

[theoneisrightlad@mastodon.social]

@libreoffice I approve but it should be payed because you can support the project with the money and users get a good product out of it . Looks about the same as what only office does

[wombatpandaa@mastodon.social]

@libreoffice fantastic news! Having another foss option for online office suite will do wonders for competition and security in the space

[ondrejzizka@mastodon.social]

@libreoffice Great news! Everything moves to web anyway and a competion to Google Suite is much needed.

[celbri@misskey.id]

@libreoffice@fosstodon.org @RandamuMaki@mstdn.social ? LibreOffice never mention or endorse Gemini usage.

GSoC has nothing to do with vibe-code, even a lot of participant strictly forbid vibe code.

[vwbusguy@mastodon.online]

@MichelPatrice Yeah, Collabora is based on libreoffice. I was replying to Sebastian who brought up Proton Docs and I didn't think that was.
