Comment on Danish Ministry switching from Microsoft Office/365 to LibreOffice

They could spend 1~2% of the cost of their microsoft licenses to create their own plugins/development to make the UI more usable for their applications and workers, rather than relying on Microsoft themselves or creating plugins on outdated and proprietary frameworks.

Wouldn’t it be easier to strike a support deal with the libre office developers and just give them the money to do it?

The Document Foundation doesn’t actually employ developers. They just oversee and manage the development and direction of LibreOffice.

Sure. That is assuming that someone is available on the LibreOffice side to support the ministry for a particular amount, and that the policy related to government procedures can be followed under this agreement.

Pretty sure Collabora (company) offers such services.
