About

ODF is the Open Document Format, the international standard for word processing documents. ODF supports many different word processors. This is important if we don't want to keep paying over and over to Microsoft. But some people think switching to ODF is risky, and they don't want to be first. So, we started this site to collect all the examples where ODF has saved money and made life simpler for people and organisations just like you.
