Update. "#Austria's military has switched from #MicrosoftOffice to #LibreOffice. The move was all about digital sovereignty, not cost savings. Other governments are moving away from Microsoft to protect their citizens' privacy."

> Austria's military has heavily invested in LibreOffice development itself.
It's buggy as hell. So they don't have much choice. Maybe they will succeed in getting a free replacement for MS office that works. 🛸
@petersuber - excellent. I use LibreOffice.
@petersuber i wish there was a wikipedia article for all these migrations . half of them get undone , and it's hard to see the differences and compare e.g. LiMux , the introduction of linux to Munich , with this
@petersuber Interesting read. Thanks for sharing.
I do hope that when these organizations migrate to LibreOffice (which is fantastic), that they still maintain a reasonable budget for funding FOSS donations.
16,000 new users are going to submit more bug reports, and more feature requests, and without additional resources, the LibreOffice team may struggle to keep up. :-)
