Awesome news!… I was hoping for this to happen! Please, keep ’em coming for future versions.
Great idea! Only one day after release and we already have a portable version. I remember when I was using the Open Office, the portable versions delay much time to be released. Thanks for this awesome news, keep it up and update in every release 😀

Thanks a lot!!!
i have been waiting for this. now i can delete my openoffice portable and replace it with libreoffice… thanks you very much
Mits – you are joking right? It works from Apple’s Pod in disk mode.

It’s not a typo. Surely you know Apple is getting less, not more, open. Apple’s Pad is lacking this feature without a hack.
Great! Now let’s wait till the millions of iPod users come to the support forum complaining they can’t install it…
(Just joking, please fix the typo, surely you mean the iPad and not the iPod 🙂 )
portableapps.com works very well. Other portable apps just leave information under Application data or similar.
Nice! Cheers for the great software you’re making!
I wish there were some easy ways for end users to make feature suggestions and ask question and actually get replies, i.e. a dedicated forum. I have tried the IRC channel but no one replied at all when I asked questions. For example, Impress has had almost zero feature enhancements for many, many years. I have tried posting in the old Open Office forums and filing bug reports and requests for the old Open Office but nothing seems to make any difference.
I wish you had a dedicated blog for each part of the Office suite. So that we could get a feel of what is moving and what is not. And why not do blogposts where actual devs talk loosely about plans for this or that part of the suite and ask for specific feedback?
That’s the way!
I have been using open source software for much of my work.
Openoffice is/was being regularly used by me both on linux (ubuntu) and windows (XP).
After SUN taken over by Oracle I have shifted to LibreOffice and followed through the updates.
The portable version will be very useful.
What about the portable version of LibreOffice for linux?
Thanks indeed,
How about a MAC version?
How about a version for the MAC?
Portable LibreOffice OS X is available from http://www.freesmug.org/portableapps:libreoffice
Why is Slovenian not included? Why is TDF standing behind a project and allowing to use LibreOffice name if the package offered does not support all languages included in the official LO release?
What an embarrassment for the TDF.
There is also a Portable Linux App here:
