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 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 @libreoffice Yes, Germany is not nearly as digital as Denmark. But still it's a good decision they made 🙂👍
