The Document Foundation removed 30+ Collabora-linked developers, including top LibreOffice contributors, under bylaws tied to legal disputes. ⚖️
The move raises concerns over governance transparency and contributor influence in major FOSS projects. 🧩

The announcement of the Euro-Office is welcome news. The coalition is credible, the governance is sound and the timing is perfect. Europe needs office software, and The Document Foundation is delighted to see such significant players allocating resources to make it happen. However, we have a question. It is not meant to be hostile, but it is the only question that matters. What is the native document format of Euro-Office? The press release promises full compatibility with Microsoft formats. We are well aware of the logic behind migration: organisations moving away from Microsoft need to be certain that their documents will survive the transition. But “full compatibility with Microsoft formats” is certainly not a definition of sovereignty, but rather the definition of a different kind of dependency. OOXML is a format designed, controlled and managed solely by Microsoft. Building a European office suite prioritising compatibility with OOXML means ensuring that the European document infrastructure remains subordinate to architectural decisions made in Redmond. The hosting moves to Europe, but the lock-in remains in Redmond. The alternative exists, is mature and is a law in several European jurisdictions. ODF, the Open Document Format, is an ISO standard developed through an open and
Ich habe endlich eine vernünftigen Grund zur Verwendung von #Excel gefunden.
Da ich beruflich praktisch den ganzen Tag vor dem Programm verbringen muss (!!1!einself), mache ich relativ viele Sachen mit haarsträubend zusammengeklöppelten VBA-Macros.
Für meine #Gemini Capsule fehlt mir bisher ein einfacher Static Site Generator aka #SSG. Das Problem ist kurz davor, gelöst zu werden. 😉
Jeweils ein Sheet für
- Konfiguration
- Postings
- Statische Seiten
- gegebenenfalls Header und Footer
Geplant: ein Macro erstellt die .gmi Files für die einzelnen Postings mit den Daten aus den jeweiligen Spalten auf dem Postings-Sheet. Tags - wenn vorhanden - werden direkt in entsprechende Index-Seiten verlinkt, dazu ein komplettes Archiv.
Ebenso die statischen Seiten, alles zusammen ergibt die index.gmi.
Auf absehbare Zeit werde ich von Excel nicht wegkommen, daher überlege ich noch (!) nicht, ob ich das in #LibreOffice nachbilden möchte.
Ihr kennt das: Not - Teufel - Fliegen.
Many people have asked The Document Foundation for its official position on what Collabora announced in a blog post. This is not the first announcement of this kind in FLOSS environments, nor will it be the last. Collabora feels that it has to invest in a specific product that differs from traditional, full-featured office suites such as LibreOffice. They are, of course, free to take this approach based on the MPL licence. However, Collabora has framed this as a direct consequence of the Membership Committee’s decision to remove Collabora employees from TDF membership based on the recently approved Community Bylaws. The Community Bylaws require that employees of companies involved in legal disputes with The Document Foundation be removed from TDF membership because, in the past, people made decisions in the interest of their employers rather than in the interest of The Document Foundation. We would prefer to avoid further discussion about who is responsible for what, as this would lead to endless debates that would not benefit the project as a whole (i.e. The Document Foundation, its ecosystem companies, and its volunteer contributors). Unfortunately, a series of wrong decisions in the past have turned into an ongoing problem which has
