LibreOffice / ODF Migration in Taiwan
summary
Taiwan’s central government adopts ODF and picks LibreOffice for a staged migration that began around 2014–2016 with some cities and one county at 100% LibreOffice and central offices migrating more slowly. The process uses requirement specs, impact tests on legacy files, large user briefings, and phased installs that ask new documents to use ODF while keeping old Office files. Major issues are Excel macros and Access databases so projects find macro alternatives or fund development. Community bugfixes (PowerCalc) happen at hack nights and reported migration cost averages about 10% of license fees.
