LibreOffice for Munich at Robert Pogson

LibreOffice for Munich | Munich IT Blog.

I was wondering why Munich seemed to be sticking with OpenOffice.org. I guess they were afraid their work in creating templates for OpenOffice.org might bring new incompatibility issues with LibreOffice. I guess they’ve sorted that out and relish the greater vigour of the LibreOffice ecosystem. Good for them.

Now, if only they would switch to thin clients…

My Mission

My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.

My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.

I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.
