Hi Ravi?
My reason is to promote FLOSS software solutions that can realistically
compete with Microsoft Office. Currently LibreOffice only provides a subset
of this functionality. If partnerships between FLOSS software products were
in place you could have a situation where this missing

What is the reason for your proposal?

I really am very pro-FOSS and pro-LO, but I want to interject a wet blanket
here regarding companies picking up FOSS and migrating to LO.
I think the truth is, LO just isn't ready for that kind of prime-time. I have
been using almost exclusively FOSS for five years now, even converting a school
I think you need to be realistic here, if you are going to continue to use
Microsoft Teams for video conferencing you would use the rest of the
package also, correct me if wrong but there would be no cost benefit for a
business to not using Microsoft Office then?
While I appreciate your desire to

Let me put my question in a different way:
Why should a company choose a free software(or FLOSS) over Microsoft
Office?

Can you please tell what challenges does a company have in
I'm not advocating for lots of different software to be included in a
single binary download, that would likely be unrealistic.

A company will typically have many 'seats' that are purchased. They will be
going to a single vendor that will provide the totality of their office
solution. There is a wealth of documentation on Microsoft Office/ 365
configuration. Support is typically easy to come by.

Companies can customize it
My proposal for how we are different is:
(Rough draft)
LibreOffice is a free software(free as in freedom) which respects your
freedom. You can run, study, modify, share and share the modified
versions. MS Office is nonfree software. Users do not control it. They
use this power over users to

Quicksy is exactly that-- a federated and encrypted replacement(not

James makes a very good point. If you have a problem with MS Office you go down

Hi Sophie,
What I'm trying to 'tease' out is that LibreOffice in its current form can
not be a replacement for Microsoft Office, but clearly it is central to
this. As an example I have never heard of Blue Mind. What would go a long
way in my opinion is some guidance from the Document Foundation
Precisely this, by supporting 'partner' applications you not only improve
the viability of LibreOffice as a valid Microsoft Office alternative, but
also that of other related projects and some cross promotion and
recommendation makes the whole of the FLOSS office ecosystem more viable. I
