  1. I've just finished watching @BrodieOnLinux's interview with Jurgen Gaeremyn from the @dff about the Software, Hardware and Document Freedom Days. What a lovely Tech Over Tea episode! :ablobcatcoffee: :ablobcatheartsqueeze:

  2. Ever lost access to a file because the software stopped working? That’s the cost of proprietary formats.

    Open Standards keep your data accessible, portable, and in your control.

    Join us on March 29 for Document Freedom Day 2026 with The Document Foundation and SFLC.in.

  3. Hoje celebramos o Dia da Liberdade Documental e aproveitámos para lembrar os 15 anos da Lei das Normas Abertas, a (falta de) adopção do ODF, a necessidade de atualizar o RNID e a recente notícia da obrigatoriedade do ODF na Alemanha.

  4. A semana passada, a Alemanha tornou os formatos abertos obrigatórios para as instituições públicas. Em Portugal, a Lei das Normas Abertas e o Regulamento Nacional de Interoperabilidade Digital (RNID) há muitos anos que prevêm o formato Open Document Format (ODF). Mas tal não é respeitado.

    Bom dia da Liberdade Documental, aqui assinalado pela @ansol:

  5. 📄 Vandaag is het Document Freedom Day! Een dag gewijd aan het belang van open documentformaten en open standaarden.

    Ter ere van deze dag lanceert @forumstandaardisatie de keuzehulp Open Publiceren. Deze keuzehulp helpt je het juiste formaat te kiezen bij verschillende soorten overheidsinformatie.

    Naast de keuzehulp vind je er informatie over verschillende bestandsformaten: openpubliceren.nl/formaten.

  6. Ever tried to open an old file only to be met with "Format not supported"?

    That’s what happens when we rely on proprietary tech instead of Open Standards.

    Today is #DocumentFreedomDay! 💜 We’re celebrating the right to access our own data without being locked into a specific software.

    Curious how file formats evolved?

  11. @ahltorp @parismarx We try to do what we can fighting their monopoly ever since. Capitalistic workflows are just barbaric. And M$ file formats are definitely stuck in the propritatary ninities as well. At least support projects and products that work for #DocumentLiberation
    We show this short one at #DocumentFreedomDay friprogramvarusyndikatet.tv/w/

  12. Agora às 19 horas começa no Porto Innovation Hub o ECTL pelo dia da liberdade documental com uma mesa redonda.
    Ainda no sábado, no LCD Porto o ECTL tem um workshop sobre como criar WEBSIG com dados abertos.

  13. Deze week staan wij stil bij #DocumentFreedomDay want het belang van #DocumentFreedom, open documentformaten en open standaarden geldt elke dag. 📄

    Het gebruik van open documentformaten en open standaarden voorkomt leveranciersafhankelijkheid en bevordert je #DigitaleAutonomie. Zo blijft je informatie van nu toegankelijk en uitwisselbaar voor iedereen, ook op lange termijn.

  15. Here I am, writting this simple text, and there you are, reading it. There is something quasi-magical in the simplicity of this remote and asyncronous communication, how easy it is for someone, somehow, to write a toot that someone, somehow will be able to read. But for me the real magic is in those two keywords and the variety they represent: the someone, the somehow. You can read this, it does not matter where or how I wrote it. And you, the reader, can be anywere in the world, you can be reading this on a desktop computer, or a tablet, a phone, a wristwatch, via e-mail or RSS, on a fediverse client or maybe a twtxt one. It does not matter if you are my neighbor or across the world, rich or poor, no one needs to know your gender, your height, how many cookies you ate today.

    All of this, this quasi-magical simplicity, is possile because we use Open Standards. And today I welcome you to join me in celebrating them, and with you a happy #DocumentFreedomDay !

  16. Today is Document Freedom Day. We celebrate developments that support open standards and open formats.
    Our contribution: repositories for open and FAIR data storage, workshops for FAIR research data management. And an open source laboratory journal "Chemotion ELN", which is specially programmed for the needs of chemists and supports the creation of open data.

  17. 📢 Today is Document Freedom Day! A day to celebrate Open Standards and open document formats that give us the freedom to create, share, and store data without restrictions.

    At #CollaboraOnline, we embrace Open Standards to empower individuals, teams, and organizations to exchange knowledge freely—without worrying about vendor lock-ins or hidden fees.

    Let’s celebrate a world where your data is truly yours! 💜

  19. Today is #DocumentFreedomDay!

    The first rule of Document #Freedom Day is that we talk about open #document formats and tools that allow documents to be accessed, edited and shared by anyone, without restrictions or reliance on specific software or vendor lock-in.

    I wrote the post below to talk about the #free and #open formats and #opensource tools that I am using for the #writing #typesetting and #layout of Return of the Ripper.

  20. March 26 is #DocumentFreedomDay, a day to acknowledge and celebrate the role of open standards in our lives.

    Open standards are a common language that all computers can speak. When it comes to documents, spreadsheets and slide decks the premier standard is OpenDocument (.odt, .ods, .odp). If you use LibreOffice you may be familiar with these file extensions, if so you are already using OpenDocument.

    Office Open XML (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx) is another standard created later, mainly used by Microsoft Office. It is actually a dual standard with two schemas, Strict and Transitional, the latter which allows proprietary (non-open) extensions. Only the latter transitional standard is in widespread use as it is the default save format of Microsoft Office. These proprietary extensions have been reverse engineered by others to create compatibility with Microsoft Office. That certainly doesn't sound very open to us.
