A welcome commitment to open standards — and why it should end with ODF as Euro-Office’s native document format. The Euro-Office pre-announcement has generated considerable coverage across the European press over the past few days. The Document Foundation welcomes the attention that open standards are receiving — and welcomes still

Foundation sfida Star Wars: la grande space opera di Apple TV+ continua a crescere

Star Wars resta uno dei pilastri assoluti della fantascienza pop, soprattutto grazie alla sua presenza costante in streaming. Eppure, nel panorama delle grandi saghe spaziali contemporanee, uno dei rivali più credibili arriva da Apple TV+ con Foundation.

Twenty Years On, ODF Is Still the Only Open Standard for Office Documents, and the Only One Governments Can Trust

Berlin, 8 May 2026 – Twenty years ago this week, on 3 May 2006, the Open Document Format cleared its Draft International Standard ballot at ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 34 with unanimous approval. On 30 November 2006 it was published as ISO/IEC 26300. Two decades later, ODF remains what it was

Had we published the post earlier, we would probably have avoided some of the

Let’s put an end to the speculation

Ideally, we would have preferred to avoid this post.
