Wegen des #Führerscheintausch war ich heute beim Bürgeramt.
Und was sehe ich da?
Die Stadt #Brühl nutzt #LibreOffice ❤️
Ich war entzückt.
Das nächste Mal werde ich mal darauf achten, welches Betriebssystem eingesetzt wird...
I'm tasked to migrate a small organization to @libreoffice but the forms from MS Access don't come over to LO Base. Is there a way to automatically import the forms, or I actually have to manually recreate them all by hand?

@rysiek The sad thing is...for work purposes, I love Microsoft Office Suite. Excel outperforms Sheets for any serious analytical work, and desktop Outlook is far far superior to Gmail. (Teams shall not be mentioned here.) But now they are destroying all that with Microslop.
@lauerhahn @rysiek I take it you're yearning for better alternatives to corporate office suites. Have you tried #LibreOffice already?

#Emacs #OrgMode on the digital side. This is where all my drafts start out unless they are short and simple/already complete, or have special formatting needs requiring a word processor. I manage versions with #git, which Emacs greatly simplifies with the #Magit package, and once I'm ready to share or submit I export the .org file to .odt, and then to .docx, and edit with #LibreOffice Writer from there. Basically Org Mode meets the drafting and structuring needs Scrivener used to on Windows and Mac.
On the analogue side I like to carry around little one-sheet notebooks made from used printer paper. I simply tuck them inside an old passport bag that's my daily carry and write drafts or take notes on the go before I transcribe them into the appropriate Org Mode file. WikiHow has a nice article on how to make these mini notebooks, and you can skip the stapling step if you use them as discardable temporary notes like I do. https://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Paper-Book

@ctietze I need to be able to make slides from #OrgMode files. But #Beamer cannot (and will not) be made to produce #taggedPDF output (thanks, @mxp). So rather than bang my head against #TeXLaTeX, I took a step back.
Check this out:
pandoc why-yes-i-am-a-wizard.org -o why-yes-i-am-a-wizard.pptx && soffice --headless --convert-to pdf why-yes-i-am-a-wizard.pptx

No Haskell noodling required.

Juste une précision sur LibreOffice 25.8 et le Markdown.
LibreOffice 25.8 ouvre bien les fichiers en .md. Mais, malgré ce qui est proposé dans la liste des formats d'exports, la suite bureautique n'exporte pas encore en Markdown.

I'm setting up a new MacBook, and I need #LibreOffice obviously. It occurred to me that it might be available in the App Store, which would be slightly more convenient than a separate download. It is ... for £8.99. What on earth is going on?!
CC @libreoffice
I work in education & I use & recommend #LibreOffice to my students:
No licence fees (great for students on a tight budget),
Forward & backward compatibility with files (so you don't lose access to your own & others' work),
UX that just lets you get on with work/study (no pop-ups, ads, nag-ware),
Really useful plugins, e.g. Zotero connector,
& just a pleasure to use! 🤓
Update. The #UN is dropping #GoogleDocs in favor of #OpenSource #CryptPad ( @CryptPad).

Update. The German state of Schleswig-Holstein is migrating from #MicrosoftOffice to #LibreOffice and expects to save €15 million in 2026 alone.
