@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.

[sorenladegaard@social.vivaldi.net]

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