The results strongly suggest a long-term sustainable LibreOffice community and that there are no signs of stagnation in the LibreOffice project 33 months after the fork. In so doing, our analysis also covers the project and the related Apache OpenOffice project. We report from a study aiming to investigate the developer community around the LibreOffice project, which is a fork from the project. There is currently a lack of studies in the literature that address how specific Open Source software communities are affected by a fork. In this paper we consider long-term sustainability of Open Source software communities in Open Source software projects involving a fork. Many organisations are dependent upon long-term sustainable software systems and associated communities.
