LibreOfficeThe EU’s Open Source Software Strategy calls for reducing dependency on proprietary technologies. But for feedback on the Cyber Resilience Act, they're asking for feedback in .xlsx format! This is obviously not ideal – so please sign our open letter: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/03/05/cra-guidances/ #foss #openSource #freesoftware
Pol Malvinas@libreoffice isn't the xlsx format founded in the Open Document format?? Didn't Micro$oft go with the Open Document Foundation format standards si their tools would both save and open all, their proprietary and the foss file formats?
@polmalvinas Hi! No, .xlsx isn't part of the Open Document Format, and there is no such thing as the Open Document Foundation. (There is The Document Foundation, the non-profit behind LibreOffice). Microsoft Office/365 does support ODF though – if only they used it by default. Hope that clears it up!
@libreoffice it does clear out quite a big lot. Thanks for your kind reply
