So how is LibreOffice going to deal with replicating stuff like Onedrive/Sharepoints seamless sharing/versioning/etc.? Or the deep integration MSO has with Windows explorer and apps like Teams?

I like (and use!) LO at home, but it would be a huge downgrade for me to use it with work related projects. Just missing features and well... clunky in many ways.

I am so grateful to see that you have a YouTube channel because I have so many questions and it didn’t feel appropriate to ask them here.

I have a laptop with Microsoft running with nothing on it that I would cry about losing so I really want to try this but I don’t know how to start.

Thanks for sharing information. I am off to learn more now.

Governments waking up to the fact that MS cannot be trusted. This is a good first step.

Es wäre äußerst wünschenswert und dringend angesagt, dass BW auch endlich den Microsoft Sumpf verlässt.

Jetzt wird es in Schleswig-Holstein bald einen großen und wertvollen Erfahrungsschatz geben, von dem BW bestimmt gerne profitieren kann.

Besteht schon Kontakt zwischen den Landesregierungen BW und SH?

It's funny how something you get for free because you can't afford it suddenly becomes popular... I don't know how to feel about this fact

(I used openoffice before... Well, at one point it highlighted every word in red... Strange situation)

@thb Wrt the overall ambitions of SH seen in slide 4 (digitally souvereign IT workplace). Pillar 1 is especialy interesting. So Schleswig-Holstein plans to also move their civil service to Linux. This is obviously a very good thing for true digital souvereignity in the EU.
However, I encourage everyone to study well the case of the City of Munich, that tried the same thing some 10 years ago. Do NOT spin your own bespoke Linux distro is lesson 1.

absolutely amazing to see this. Thank you for sharing this talk. I hope this opens the door to other public institutions around the world to follow suit.
