"Yes, no AI is now a feature" - LibreOffice / The Document Foundation gamingonlinux.com/2026/09/yes-…
#AI #GenAI #OpenSource #LibreOffice
Something I found interesting that deserved a write-up this morning is the blog post from LibreOffice / The Document Foundation on no AI being a feature.Liam Squires-Hand (GamingOnLinux)
may I suggest some other howtos to the #eurooffice initiative?
- Howto avoid causing headlines such as "war in #OpenSource' and generally behave respectful toward other open source projects such as #libreoffice
- Howto implement support for #openstandards / #odf
- Howto push software which is targeted to improve Europe's digital sovereignty to a code repository which is not owned by Microsoft

Dear office suite users, In recent days you will have read various articles announcing the arrival of Euro-Office, which is being “marketed” as the first open-source office suite developed in Europe.Italo Vignoli (TDF Community Blog)
Euro Office was für ein einfallsreicher Name gewählt wurde. Sowas zeugt von Kreativität und Einfallsreichtum. 👎
ONLYOFFICE feels like Microsoft Office, while LibreOffice does more. Pick your poison. 👇

Indeed, a simple #Gnome office suite on basis of #LibreOfficeKit is probably the lowest hanging fruit to create an office suite. LibreOfficeKit is very powerful and is continuously further developed as it's the main engine of @collabora Online.
It has full document fidelity, so even if Gnome office would have few features, it would still be able to open/import/save/export/display all features. It's a pity that no one has tackled it yet.
I wish someone could create a fast, simple, and easy-to-use #Gnome office based on #LibreOffice Kit.
This doesn't seem to be complicated wiht #libreofficekit and has full access to all LibreOffice technology features.

If you want to use LibreOffice functionality in your applications, LibreOfficeKit API is one of the good ways to do that. Here i describe how, with some examples.Hossein Nourikhah (LibreOffice Development Blog)
The open source vim-like spreadsheet program sc-im is wonderful to work with. If you use Vim regularly, it quickly becomes intuitive.
sc-im is entirely viable as a LibreOffice Calc or Microsoft Office Excel alternative in the terminal. It even supports embedded Lua scripting. It's a one-man passion project that really needs more hands.

Apparently Libre Office is free and contains no AI.
Not world domination yet but still an interesting trend.

The northern German state of Schleswig-Holstein is moving 30,000 PCs from Microsoft Windows and Office to Linux and LibreOffice.Mike Saunders (The Document Foundation)
Thanks Brodie, I love this video! From the good old times a few years into working at #Canonical. #CUPS already used by every distro for several years, but not all apps sent jobs in PDF format yet, several, like OpenOffice (predecessor of #LibreOffice) still sent PostScript, standard of old #Unix times. And printers still needed drivers and some manufacturers made (usually closed-source) ones, and everyone with an integration more awkward than the other ...
Happy Tuesday!
