Abstract

I maintain the Collabora Office mobile apps: office software for mobile devices based on LibreOffice. I've been at FOSDEM twice before, and each time I've had people approach me and ask if the apps could run on mobile Linux.

Each time, I've had to tell them "not yet". This year, I finally have a mobile Linux device running Collabora Office. It's not perfect yet, but it works, and it can give a glimpse into a future where a mobile-optimised Collabora Office is available outside of the mainstream Android/iOS mobile duopoly.

I'll give you an overview of how we got here, how I'm doing this, and what's still left to do before we can get my demo on your mobile Linux device.
