Huge win for open standards and freedom from vendor lock-in! Germany’s Sovereign Digital Stack mandates ODF, the Open Document Format: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/03/19/germanys-sovereign-digital-stack-mandates-odf/
@libreoffice I like open-source.
Less prone to back doors.
Full customization possible.
Good article .
I agree with you.
@libreoffice Sorry if this is a silly question. But does it mean that eg. German authorities have to accept both .docx and .odf or does it mean that .odf is the only format they use going forward?
@sorenladegaard @libreoffice
It doesn't really matter because German bureaucracy runs solely on fax machines.
@Takiro @sorenladegaard @libreoffice which can be incredibly frustrating but with the all the shit going on with the big tech that might actually be a good thing
@libreoffice, looks like using a common sense 😎
