Bug ID: 99054
Summary: Distribution on Windows Store using "Project
Centennial"
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Installation
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: wjk011+lobugzi...@gmail.com
Greetings LibreOffice development team.
On March 30, 2016 Microsoft announced the pending open beta of its "Project
Centennial" technology to enable the porting of traditional desktop software,
such as LibreOffice, to the Windows "AppX" installation model, so that it can
be distributed on the Windows Store. (This in no way requires charging money
for the program; many apps on the Store are free of charge.)
I am willing to volunteer time and development effort towards making
LibreOffice compatible with the Windows Store via "Project Centennial". I was
planning to do this on my own initiative with a fork of the LibreOffice
codebase; however, I wanted to submit my idea here to open the possibility of
actually submitting LO to the Windows Store, with the permission of The
Document Foundation, once the development has been completed. (I can use my own
personal Windows Store developer account to do so, or the Foundation can create
its own if desired.)
Please note that I will be unable to begin work on the porting of LO to AppX
until Microsoft releases the beta of the technology, which is slated for an
unspecified time in early April. I will post a follow-up here when I am ready
to begin.
