@art
#LibreOffice has a built-in versioning, menu File -> Versions...

If you want to use git instead, save in Flat XML ODF Text Document (.fodt) that saves as XML in one uncompressed file, instead of the zip container .odt (git compresses anyway); the git diffs can be quite confusing though when not strictly using named formatting styles.

Delstaten har oprettet et Open Source Program Office for at sikre en gnidningsfri overgang. Digitaliseringsminister Dirk Schrödter (CDU) fører an og opfordrer andre regioner til at følge trop. Se mere om projektet her: 🎥➡️ youtube.com/watch?v=Qx0IQqhO6hY #LibreOffice #Linux

Ça fait longtemps que #Linux est prêt pour le bureau.
Il y a tout ce qu'il faut. Il faut seulement essayer de ne pas garder les mauvaises habitudes prises avec #Windows, pour ceux qui feraient la transition.
Le plus souple est de commencer avec la suite bureautique #LibreOffice, #Firefox + #uBlockOrigin, #Thunderbird (qui gère aussi les #agenda, la messagerie #XMPP, etc.)
Puis d'avoir une machine sous Linux.
Tout synchroniser via #Nextcloud.
Et un jour, plus besoin de Windows.

The last segment of my working life was doing technical writing for software companies in #SiliconValley. Understanding the software was easy, I had been a programmer for a long time before becoming a #techWriter.

The hard part was trying to put things into terms my audience would 'get' and I really admire people who can do that.
That’s why I devour everything @Daojoan sends out.

She got me to #Vivaldi and #Joplin and helped me see that privacy and software freedom is more than #LibreOffice and #ProtonMail.
Go read her stuff. You won’t be disappointed.

@mcc @mhoye The #Apple #Newton #Messagepad 2100 was just an excellent device. I still miss certain features it had. For example, you could drag text/images with the stylus and drop it at any edge/margin of the application. You could drop as many snippets as you like. Even if you switch to another page, the snippets were still there and you could drop it.

Here is even an enhancement request for #LibreOffice that is inspired by it:

L'etat allemand du Schleswig-Holstein se lance dans l'Open Source
euro-stack.com/blog/2025/3/sch

1. #LibreOffice remplace Microsoft Office
2. #Thunderbird remplace Exchange/Outlook
3. #Linux: à terme remplacera Windows
4. UCS pour remplacer Active Directory.
5. Interopérabilité du logiciel spécialisé 'Fachverfahren'
6. Téléphonie Open-Source

Pourquoi ?

- Souveraineté numérique
- Impératif stratégique
- Donner l'exemple
- "Public Money, Public Code" : les logiciels payés par le public doivent être Open Source.
- Création d'un marché pour les fournisseurs de services européens.

euro-stack.comSchleswig-Holstein's Bold Open Source Leap: A Model for Digital Sovereignty? | EuroStackThe German state of Schleswig-Holstein is making waves with its ambitious plan to ditch Microsoft Office, Exchange, and Windows in favor of Open Source alternatives. This bold move has significant implications for digital sovereignty, public procurement, and the future of the European digital ecosystem. The EuroStack Project unpacks the plan and its broader implications.

Next I'm considering dropping my #Microsoft Office sub in favour of #LibreOffice. I just need to be sure that compatibility is good enough for work documents (initial testing is good) and/or that I have some alternative workflows for certain tasks that are as good as, if not better than current.

Dass es machbar ist, beweisen fast 3.000 von @Labdoo_D mit IT-Spenden unterstützte Schulen und Projekte, die seit 16 Jahren Linux nutzen.
