- The Document Foundation (TDF) removed Collabora staff and partners from membership, citing unproven legal concerns, affecting many key contributors.
- TDF has experienced internal turmoil, including controversial actions like overriding past decisions, legal actions against volunteers, and election delays.
- Collabora plans to focus on its own products, including a new streamlined Collabora Office, and will host its own gerrit to reduce reliance on TDF.
- Collabora expresses gratitude to supporters and acknowledges positive collaborations with TDF staff while distancing from its political issues.
