Dear Europe: Germany has shown the way forward, by making the Open Document Format (ODF) mandatory within its sovereign digital infrastructure. Now it's time for other countries to do the same! https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/03/23/dear-europe/ #foss #opensource #freesoftware #openstandards

@libreoffice This has been the truth in multiple countries for some time, including in Portugal, but the governments don't always follow their own mandates for themselves. In Portugal @ansol monitors violation of this type of mandate for government institutions:https://ansol.org/iniciativas/monitorizacao-rnid/

@libreoffice I just have one question. What’s the must to use the open document formats instead of the ones from Microsoft, even if you open them in LibreOffice ?

@libreoffice I mean, there's also #markdown and #latex. ODF isn't the only one, but it's certainly one of the important standards.

@libreoffice Finally a good decision. Open files and platforms are the base for all subsequent actions.

@fallbackerik Of course, those formats are useful too.

@libreoffice @jonxion the 2018 presentation is interesting, lots of good details. OOXML crudely reinventing so many other standards, like SVG, proves why it's problematic.All I could think was, "So LibreOffice had to implement all of this for its .docx importer?!" Hats off to the devs who worked on that.

@libreoffice All well and good until citizens in places like the UK, Canada, America, et. al., start demanding clean drinking water for all from their taps...

@libreoffice that’s something many countries and even counties in the US can get behind. Especially when they come asking for tax revenues to fund vector control of the #anopheles mosqiito

@libreoffice #Canada is pretty much hopeless in this regard, sorry. I wish it were otherwise! Alas, it's pretty much no #elbowsUp, unless it's a selection between two competing whiskey bottles on a liquor store shelf - one being American whiskey, the other #Canadian whiskey. Prove me wrong, Canada! Canadians will smash each other's teeth out in a hockey fight, but there will be no changing of Office software on the office computers!

@libreoffice as afar as I can see it (in the document by the IT-Planungsrat), this is only one of several formats for "semantic technologies" with the aim "networking, exchange and retrieval of data" [my translation]. Other formats in that group are RDF, OWL, JSON, XML, CSV... this is very broad... am I missing a document describing specific use cases?and on a side-note: listing CSV here is showing how broad this category is, so I really hope there is something more specific.

@swggrkllr3rd Are you talking about https://libretranslate.com ? Then if so, you need to talk to them about it. (That's not from us.)

@libreoffice I sent Italo an email about this, but this series of blog posts is really sabotaging LibreOffice.If you want the world to be able to escape Microsoft Office, you need to stop claiming LibreOffice is incompatible with it! LibreOffice is a great drop-in compatible replacement and *that* is what you should be marketing.Telling people you can't work with Office is just announce LibreOffice can't do the job people need it to.

@libreoffice ugh, no way, I’ll keep my plaintext, TSV, SSV, nroff/mdoc(7), Tₑχ/LᴬTᴇΧ, MagicPoint, etc. documents; these are so much easier to work with than GUI office suites (and the tools less buggy as well)
