Not only is one German state moving from Microsoft to LibreOffice, but the whole federal government is committing to move to open standards by 2027: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl…
Digital sovereignty is becoming vitally important. If governments and organisations use proprietary or pseudo-standard formats, they limit the tools that citizens can use to access data.
just wish my university would let us submit assignments in .ODF format, as we can only really use Word... and as a Linux user that means Word Online, which is slow and clunky.
@toran Oh no! Ask your uni why they won't accept standardised formats, and force students to use specific software. It's the exact opposite of what unis should be doing. If they say "We use Microsoft Office/365", point out that Microsoft also supports ODF so they should at least accept documents in that format!
or just maybe They don't have enought money to continue using Microsoft apps ? Just got this in my mind. In poland some hospitals also using Libre and it is really bad to work with. And this is just because they dont't want to buy. Not because of security or other major problems. Just because of money.
Congratulations 🎉 Maybe little known: the German federal government was required to be able to process ODF since 2010 already: cio.bund.de/SharedDocs/downloa…

Back to the roots. Staroffice, the grandfather of Libre office, was born in Germany ~40 years ago. Despite several semi-successful conversion attempts, I hope this time the transformation will be permanent.
oh wow, I know that the Dutch gov is implementing opensource as well (using La Suite and OpenDesk) but MS's office suite is the biggest hurdle to replacing Office365. Maybe this will finally become an option? @opensource
@LibreOffice Public administration is great, but maybe you could start talking with the European PAtent Office and its German and other national counterpart? They are currently moving towards "XML" filing rather than "PDF" filing, but "XML" in their world is OOXML only. I would love having a reliable path to file patent applications in ODF format, this would enable my law firm to switch to LibreOffice. Currently, because the patent procedure requires reliable reproducibility of line breaks and page breaks, we are stuck with the software that natively generates OOXML.
Sorry, but unfortunately it's not quite that rosy. It's only a small federal state that is changing over. I could share the euphoria more if it were one of the big states in the south of Germany. Unfortunately, the city of Munich switched back to Microsoft when they built their German office there 😒
I'd be surprised if the German #bundesregierung really will switch to open standards. The new conservative government will soon realise who is able to pay more.
Good news! This fits well into ZenDiS' (Germany's center for digital sovereignity) current efforts to push "openDesk" (an open-source MS365 replacement product, in particular for authorities), which includes Collabora Office. See also @zendis

Didn't know that Word also opens .odf files, so will ask them about it. Ta! 🙂

I doubt they will stick to it. They are not the kind of people who don't listen to rich lobbyists.
