Advent Resource #3: ODF Guidance by UK Cabinet Office (1)

In July 2014, the UK government has selected Open Document Format (ODF) – LibreOffice native document format, officially published as international ISO/IEC standard 26300 on November 30, 2006 – as the standard for editable office documents to be used across all government offices.

The documents in this collection (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/open-document-format-odf-guidance) look at the ODF standard and related procurement issues. These include how to make sure applications and services dealing with editable documents are ODF-compliant.

There are four documents in the collection: 1. Open Document Format (ODF): an introduction; 2. Open Document Format (ODF): procurement; 3. Open Document Format (ODF): user needs; and 4. Open Document Format (ODF): validators and compliance testing. They are a useful resource for all LibreOffice advocates.
