AMD is now a member of The Document Foundation’s Advisory Board and is helping the open source group improve the LibreOffice Calc spreadsheet program. The improvement will be the biggest overhaul of the open source spreadsheet since LibreOffice split from the Oracle/Sun led OpenOffice in 2010.

“There is lots and lots of core refactoring now being done in Calc,” Michael Meeks, Distinguished Engineer at Suse, told Datamation.
