Our analysis provides details on the LibreOffice developer community and how it has evolved from the community with respect to project activity, long-term involvement of committers, and organisational influence over time. ![]() The results strongly suggest a long-term sustainable community and that there are no signs of stagnation in the project 15 months after the fork. We report from a case study aiming to investigate the developer community around the LibreOffice project, which is a fork from the project. There is currently a lack of studies in the literature that address how specific Open Source software communities are affected by a fork. In this paper we consider long-term sustainability of Open Source software communities in Open Source projects involving a fork. Many organisations have requirements for long-term sustainable software systems and associated communities.
