Positive Signs
● More and more files provided by public administrations are in ODF/PDF format.
● In 2016, most of these files were problematic because of…
● I even saw a department uploading an rar file which contained only one doc file.
● Since 2017 I found that, more and more files were generated by AOO / LibreOffice

9 Big ODF Sessions
● National Development Coucil (NDC) Taiwan asked us to hole 8 ODF communication sessions, 2 for north Taiwan, 2 for middle, 2 for south and 2 for east. Then NDC added 1 more to the south.
● Each session limited the number of attendees from 70 (East) to 300 (North)
● 4 had been held, with each session full (actually overflow).

How Many Migration Projects?
● No, I can't count it.
● Or you can say one – the whole Taiwan government.
● In 2017 Users and authorities in governments become a lot more active for this, because they started to realize that...
We (and NDC) ARE SERIOUS!!

"What do you think we still need when migrating LibreOffice to
organizations?"

Mostly Asked Questions
"Do you have any email clientthat can replace Outlook?"
![Page 18: Migrating LibreOffice to Organizations ‑ What's Still …franklin@slat.org Migrating LibreOffice to Organizations ‑ What's Still Needed? ROME | October 13, 2017 Franklin Weng LibreOffice](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062923/5f0ac72f7e708231d42d4b64/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Outlook
● Bound to Microsoft Office Suite
● The License Fee would be much more expensive if buying Outlook only

E-mail Client Alternatives
● Plenty of FOSS E-mail clients
– Thunderbird
– Sylpheed
– KMail
● All of the above are easy to replace Outlook, as long as...

NoActive Directory
And/OrExchange

Successful Example
● Yi-Lan County
– They didn't want to be bound to AD from the very beginning
– The Information Administration Department recommended Thunderbird for users
![Page 22: Migrating LibreOffice to Organizations ‑ What's Still …franklin@slat.org Migrating LibreOffice to Organizations ‑ What's Still Needed? ROME | October 13, 2017 Franklin Weng LibreOffice](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062923/5f0ac72f7e708231d42d4b64/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Failed Example
● A (Very) Big Enterprise in Taiwan
– Active Directory
– Exchange IMAP
– Thunderbird addon for Exchange IMAP is not free (and actually doesn't work either)
● Current solution
– Keep using Outlook
– Replacing the mail service to web-based
![Page 23: Migrating LibreOffice to Organizations ‑ What's Still …franklin@slat.org Migrating LibreOffice to Organizations ‑ What's Still Needed? ROME | October 13, 2017 Franklin Weng LibreOffice](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062923/5f0ac72f7e708231d42d4b64/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
What's Still Needed?
● I don't think that the LibreOffice suite needs to contain an e-mail client
● However we need a basic recommended / suggested solution
– A (globally) suggested solution working with AD / Exchange
– Frontend / Backend Integration
![Page 24: Migrating LibreOffice to Organizations ‑ What's Still …franklin@slat.org Migrating LibreOffice to Organizations ‑ What's Still Needed? ROME | October 13, 2017 Franklin Weng LibreOffice](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062923/5f0ac72f7e708231d42d4b64/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Backend
● Extend from LibreOffice to Open Source Solution for enterprises/organizations
– Coordinated with open source SI (global even better)
– Not only mail service, but also other ERP/HR/Accounting services, at least not Windows/IE only
![Page 25: Migrating LibreOffice to Organizations ‑ What's Still …franklin@slat.org Migrating LibreOffice to Organizations ‑ What's Still Needed? ROME | October 13, 2017 Franklin Weng LibreOffice](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062923/5f0ac72f7e708231d42d4b64/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Frontend
● If the backend services can be friendly, cross-platform / cross-browser, frontend applications will not be problems
● Even desktop environment can be replaced
– Solve XP problems for governments/schools/enterprises

LibreOffice Migration Professionals
● Maybe LMPs can form a group to provide a basic open source total solutions, including PIM like Mail, Calendar, Groupware, … etc.
– Either compatible with AD / Exchange
– Or develop a statement to "persuade" customers gradually change their infrastructures without being vendor locked in, and can be accessible to all OS / browsers

27
Others
● Python API/Macro modules/components
– StarBasic used only for simple action recording(Is it still under development?)
● Modules creating reports / forms in ODF
– Many reports / forms in organizations were generated by Crystal Reports
● HTML-based MS format?!
– Document Liberation Project
