Good on Germany for #DeutschlandStack aka D-stack, a German federal initiative to build a national, sovereign technology platform for digital government and public sector IT projects. Why this is so cool: docs and concept papers around DeutschlandStack are pushing #OpenSource, #openstandards and transparent development (e.g., via openCode.de) as hard requirements. This my friends is progress!

Germany’s new “Deutschland-Stack” makes open standards and open-source development the foundation of public digital infrastructure. By mandating Open Document Format (ODF) and rejecting proprietary lock-in, it treats open tech as essential for sovereignty, interoperability, and democratic control, not a niche preference.

"The Document Foundation (#TDF), the non-profit entity behind #LibreOffice, welcomes the inclusion of the Open Document Format (#ODF) as a mandated standard format in Germany’s Deutschland-Stack, the federal government’s sovereign digital infrastructure framework for all public administrations."
Florian Effenberger (@floeff), executive director of TDF: "You cannot claim digital sovereignty while allowing your documents to be locked in proprietary formats controlled by a single vendor."
Germany's Sovereign Digital Stack Mandates ODF: a Landmark Validation of Open Document Standards - TDF Community Blog
The Document Foundation (TDF), the non-profit entity behind LibreOffice, welcomes the inclusion of the Open Document Format (ODF) as a mandated standard format in Germany’s Deutschland-Stack, the federal government’s sovereign digital infrastructure framework for all public administrations. The Stack, published by the German Federal Ministry for Digital and State Modernisation (Bundesministerium für Digitales und Staatsmodernisierung), establishes the technical standards for a shared, interoperable and sovereign digital infrastructure serving all Germany’s public administrations. Under the framework’s “Semantic Technologies and Real-Time Analytics” pillar, ODF and PDF/UA are explicitly named as the two mandated document formats, to the exclusion of proprietary alternatives. “This is not a recommendation or a preference, it is a mandate,” said Florian Effenberger, Executive Director of The Document Foundation. “Germany’s decision to anchor ODF at the heart of its national sovereign stack confirms what we have argued for years: open, vendor-neutral document formats are not a niche concern for some technology specialists and FOSS advocates. They are a fundamental infrastructure for democratic, interoperable and sovereign public administrations.” The Deutschland-Stack is grounded in a set of principles that align with TDF’s long-standing advocacy positions. The framework adopts a “Made in EU first” principle, requires open interfaces and local data storage,
Simon Brooke@glynmoody this is genuinely good news, which will echo far beyond the borders of Germany.
Most of the people who benefit will never know what Open Document Format is, or why it matters, or how it makes their lives better. But their lives nevertheless will be better, and that's what matters.
