The LibreOffice development community is working on a number of ports, with the aim of bringing the software to mobile platforms and making it accessible through Web browsers.



From ArsTechnica:
The administrative authority of Île-de-France (a region that consists largely of Paris) has officially joined the advisory board of The Document Foundation (TDF), the independent governance body behind the LibreOffice project. They plan to distribute 800,000 USB keys with LibreOffice and other open source software applications to students in the region. The move could help to improve LibreOffice's mainstream visibility.

In addition to these major announcements, the developers behind LibreOffice have also revealed plans to deliver mobile ports of the office suite. Android and iOS versions of LibreOffice are under development and are expected to arrive late in 2012 or early in 2013. The initial porting effort will focus on the tablet form factor, but phone versions could be developed later.
