The Defense Ministry says it will begin rolling out LibreOffice in October 2015 and expects to complete the process by the end of 2016. Windows, Mac, Android and iOS versions are available as well-although ports for the latter two platforms are hit or miss. It is the default office productivity suite in most mainstream Linux distributions.
LibreOffice, as open source fans know, is an open source office suite that runs on multiple operating systems. The ministry is making the move in collaboration with LibreItalia, an organization whose goal is to spread “LibreOffice and digital culture” in education, government and business, as well as emphasize open document formats. LibreOffice and open source are riding high in this week in Italy, where the DefenseMinistry has announced plans to adopt the open source word processor and office suite in place of Microsoft (MSFT) Office.
