An open letter to office suite users, just before the Euro-Office announcement

@karlggestd @zandbelt @libreoffice Yes. IMHO the best direction for LibreOffice is to make the formats *not matter* such that nobody cares that they stopped saving docx and started saving odt at some point. The less it matters the more people can comfortably switch to open software.
@ocdtrekkie
The best aprox is "create new as ODF, save in the last time saved". -

Is that a picture attached to your post?
Is that picture a PNG with transparent background?Well, whatever it is, it's unreadable/ unrecognisable what's supposed to be showing.

I normally like xkcd but knocking neurodivergency for shits and giggles seems a bit weird.

@libreoffice Thanks for the extra info about Euro Office. Is it known why they have chosen to default to OOXML, is there a limitation in ODF that they don't put the work in to implement? I understand that might be something only they can answer, but you seem to have done research on it.
@jmbmkn @libreoffice Euro Office is a fork of OnlyOffice which uses OOXML internally.

@libreoffice I thank you for your open letter, and I'm going to take advantage of it to ask you: are you going to abandon Github in the foreseeable future? If I'm not mistaken your official repositories are here: https://github.com/LibreOffice
I'm wrong, they're at https://git.libreoffice.org/

@libreoffice@fosstodon.org @dunklecat@mastodon.dunklecat.dev looks like that github org are just mirrors but good to know they’re not official

@hobart @libreoffice Give it a rest, or a soap ?
