How much money is libreoffice enterprise edition making for 2021?

I heard libreoffice was having funding issues due to large organizations using the free program, making lots of bug reports, and contributing nothing back. Thus, enterprise editions of libreoffice have started to be pushed. I am wondering how well that is going, and if libreoffice is expanding for 2021. I would hate for this project to die or be significantly cut back.

I heard…

That wasn’t on someone’s blog post I hope. Be nice to post reality not something over heard.

…and if libreoffice is expanding for 2021.

Guess posting the message at the top of this page is a waste.

Do you realize people answering questions here (about how to do something in LO) are users as you?

Edit:

You can find all angles if you look. See:

Going by your worries and a variety of posts, LibreOffice Base has died and been buried for many years now.

You could volunteer your time/talents if you do not want to donate money.

This is not a common question but a meta one. Please retag.

LibreOffice Enterprise is not a kind of “product created by the LibreOffice project”, but instead an umbrella group of products created by companies that sell support and services to the Enterprise and contribute back to LibreOffice project, each having their own brand. The “LibreOffice Enterprise” initiative is not targeted at bringing money directly to the project, but instead to bringing more contributions to the project by the chain “grow understanding in Enterprises about the value of buying support from certified contributors → Enterprises sign contracts to fund bugfixing/feature implementation → push the contributions upstream.” This helps to drive sustainable business for the contributors and thus sustainable success for the project as a whole.

As for the financial results, only time can tell. The financials are typically filed with government accounts at a later date. So far there has not been significant changes in marketing around either LibreOffice Technology or LibreOffice Enterprise, so I would expect little change thus far.

But do small and medium-sized companies know that there is an enterprise version of libreoffice?

Does Collabora invest in advertising for this sector?

If I didn’t attend the forum, I wouldn’t even know what Collabora is and what the company does.

How is an owner of a company with 10 PCs going to hire Collabora's service if he doesn't even know it exists?

@mrkalvin: and how does anyone learns about anything? There is GET HELP|Professional Support entry on the LibreOffice home page; if professional support is wanted for any business - be it small or not - it’s reasonable to search for it on the home page of the product you use, do you agree? The linked page tells one about options - where one may learn about Collabora, as well as other options. I don’t find that confusing/hidden.

Of course, Collabora does its own work with potential clients - finding, negotiating, etc. - but that’s not what I am involved into, and it’s some normal commercial business. Anyway, the idea behind the “LibreOffice Enterprise” is just that - to create the awareness in the business users that there are such options - and when informed, there’s no blockers to find the wanted information.
