Why open standards are extremely beneficial to end users - TDF Community Blog

Whenever I talk to other technology users — including CTOs, CSOs and ICT managers, who in theory should have a certain level of expertise — I realise that most of them never consider standards when using applications, devices or websites. Users just want everything to work, but they don’t realise the fundamental role that standards, especially open standards, play in making this happen. Open standards actually offer users a significant advantage over the proprietary solutions they use every day. An open standard is a publicly available set of rules that govern how technology works. Anyone can use, develop or improve them. Examples include HTML for websites, USB for devices and PDF for documents. These are not owned by any company, and therefore benefit end users. That’s why they’re important to you. 1. You are not tied in Open standards reduce vendor lock-in. This means that users are not forced to use a single product or ecosystem from a single company to have control over their data and tools. For example, documents saved in an open format can be managed with multiple applications. If you change your device or software, your files will still work. You can choose the best solution

Announcement of LibreOffice 25.8.4 - TDF Community Blog

Berlin, 18 December 2025 – LibreOffice 25.8.4, the fourth minor update to the free office suite developed by volunteers for personal productivity in office environments on Windows, MacOS and Linux, is now available from the download page. With LibreOffice 25.2 reaching the end of life on 30 November, and the announcement of LibreOffice 26.2 scheduled for early February, this release is ready for production environments. It provides over 70 fixes which further improve the suite’s performance, reliability and interoperability. All LibreOffice users are encouraged to update their installations as soon as possible. LibreOffice 25.8.4 is based on the highly robust LibreOffice technology platform, which supports the development of desktop, mobile, and cloud applications from both TDF and ecosystem companies. The platform supports both available document formats for full interoperability: the native, open standard ODF (Open Document Format, ODT, ODS and ODP) and the proprietary Microsoft OOXML (DOCX, XLSX and PPTX). Products based on LibreOffice Technology are available for all desktop operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux and Chrome OS), mobile platforms (Android and iOS), and the cloud. For enterprise-class deployments, versions are available from ecosystem companies with added features and benefits, such as SLAs and security patch backports for three to

Les enseignants qui parlent encore d' #OpenOffice.

Ou qui veulent les devoirs sur documents au format #ODF ou #OOXML pour pouvoir faire des annotations « parce-qu'on ne peut pas le faire sur les #PDF ».

J'ai envie de pleurer devant tout cet #illectronisme.
