Oh what a week in office land: not only #OnlyOffice vs. #EuroOffice (don't get me started on this one).

But also #collabora, main contributor to #LibreOffice, is kicked out of #TheDocumentFoundation, which leads them focusing on #CollaboraOffice. Not an April fool's joke although it sounds exactly like (a bad) one.

See Michael Meeks' post on this: https://www.collaboraonline.com/blog/tdf-ejects-its-core-developers/

Not exactly optimal, where we have a great window of opportunity to push further for #Digitalsovereignity

@spaetz @tml Well, in fact it seems like no independent volunteer keeps a say on TDF in the top 20 #LibreOffice contributors:
