A big win for ODF, the EU Commission DG CONNECT has added the ODS template to the CRA Guidance feedback process, reacting promptly in a positive way to our request. Kudos to DG CONNECT.

The EU’s Open Source Software Strategy calls for reducing dependency on proprietary technologies. But for feedback on the Cyber Resilience Act, they're asking for feedback in .xlsx format! This is obviously not ideal – so please sign our open letter: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/03/05/cra-guidances/ #foss #openSource #freesoftware

New in #LibreOffice 26.2: Writer now supports Start and End paragraph alignment. These options align paragraphs relative to the paragraph text direction, and can simplify reusing styles across languages and writing systems. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/26.2#Writer

ODF is just the first of the advantages of LibreOffice

Open Document Format (ODF) is the standard format in #LibreOffice. Now there's version 0.13.0 of the ODF Toolkit – a community-driven, open-source library for creating, scanning, and manipulating ODF files: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/02/11/odf-toolkit-project-announces-release-0-13-0-last-release-supporting-jdk-11/ #foss #opensource #freesoftware

Free Software (like #LibreOffice) is about far more than just zero-cost. It’s about the freedom to use, share and modify the software that we all rely on. Make sure that the European Commission doesn't cut funding for Free Software: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/09/13/bring-back-free-software-funding-give-your-feedback-to-the-european-commission/ @fsfe #foss #opensource

Over 19 million views of the #LibreOffice website last year! And actually, that's just for the English-language version. More stats in our Annual Report: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/07/08/websites-and-blogs-tdfs-annual-report-2023/ #foss #OpenSource

New features and improvements coming to #LibreOffice 24.8, our next major release, due in August! 😊 For Writer (our word processor), Calc (spreadsheet), Impress (presentations) and Draw (diagrams and layout).
