To date the LibreOffice crew has taken the effort to merge in changes
from the OOo code line, for each release.
The most obvious and best way to collaborate in the future is to write
good code, and make it worth their while to integrate it into LO.
The more compelling the development effort at Apache, the more likely it
is reused by LO.
This also leads to the situation where they have an interest in pushing
changes into the AOOo code line, to simplify their future merges.

I fear that the *Office camps will be in some sort of competition.
Competition means that there is a winner, and a loser.
Not always true, if each iteration serves a unique market. They can
still be in competition for bragging rights but at the same time only
competing for a common set of the market that is smaller than their main
market, in this case I believe it will be Consumer on one hand (LO) and
Enterprise on the other (OOo), IMO, MSO will be the big loser.
The good thing is that one will survive and become the de-facto
standard.
Prove me wrong!
I'm hoping we will, either way we live in interesting times
