Imbarazzo in commissione UE: documento solo in Excel, senza OpenDocument
È stata costretta a intervenire rapidamente la Commissione Europea dopo la pubblicazione del modulo relativo alla consultazione sul #cyberresilienceact in coda a tanto parlare di #sovranitàdigitale uno dei documenti allegati era stato messo a disposizione esclusivamente in formato XLSX, ossia quello usato da Microsoft Execl.
knoppixLibreOffice calls out EU Commission for requiring proprietary XLSX-only feedback templates in Cyber Resilience Act consultation, excluding ODF users. 🧩
Document Foundation demands ODF/ODS or web forms as equal alternatives to uphold EU interoperability goals and avoid vendor lock-in. 🛡️

Marcel SIneM(S)US《Die EU-Kommission hatte am 3. März 2026 eine Aufforderung zur Rückmeldung zu den CRA-Leitlinien veröffentlicht. Feedback kann bis zum 31. März 2026 ausschließlich über ein XLSX-Template eingereicht werden.》
— Da hätte ich mich auch beschwert. Okay, man darf froh sein, dass das Template nicht ausgedruckt, handschriftlich ausgefüllt und per Fax retourniert werden soll

In einem offenen Brief hat die Document Foundation die EU-Kommission kritisiert: Für das Feedback-Verfahren zum Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) akzeptiert Brüssel Rückmeldungen bis zum 31. März 2026 ausschließlich im Microsoft-Format XLSX. Die Stiftung fordert die Kommission daher auf, diese einseitige Fixierung auf proprietäre Software aufzugeben.
UPDATED Request to the European Commission to adhere to its own guidances - TDF Community Blog
The European Commission has accepted our request, and starting from today – Friday March 6 – has added the Open Document Format ODS version of the spreadsheet to be used to provide the feedback. We are grateful to the people working at DG CONNECT, the Commission’s Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology, for responding to our request within 24 hours. At this point, the rest of this message is no longer relevant, and the call for action is no longer necessary. ARCHIVED MESSAGE The European Commission has spent years advocating for open standards, vendor neutrality, and digital sovereignty. The European Interoperability Framework explicitly recommends open formats for public sector digital services. The EU’s own Open Source Software Strategy calls for reducing dependency on proprietary technologies, and the Cyber Resilience Act itself is designed to address systemic risks from unaccountable technology dependencies. On March 3rd, 2026, the European Commission published a request for feedback on to the guidances to be provided in relation to the CRA, which must be provided through the linked spreadsheet in .xlsx format, a proprietary format that makes interoperability extremely difficult due to its ever changing and undocumented features. This is not a minor procedural oversight.

"Open source de façade" : LibreOffice s'en prend à OnlyOffice après sa "collaboration" avec Microsoft
Vous pensiez avoir trouvé une alternative sérieuse à Microsoft Office ? The Document Foundation vient de lancer une bombe dans le camp des suites bureautiques libres. Et la cible, c'est OnlyOffice.
Valentina MalavendaSemantic headers are a pretty cool thing! They are pretty useful when you need to compare multiple files that “aren’t exactly the same” but where you keep procrastinating clean-up because there are too many of them. I was looking for a way to standardize multiple files with a single click, and this seems a good first step in the right direction.
