Dear Europe: Germany has shown the way forward

For anybody wondering:

Germany has made ODF mandatory as the standard format for documents within its sovereign digital infrastructure. The decision is incorporated into the Deutschland-Stack, the framework governing the development, procurement and management of digital systems for public administration at all levels. This is neither a pilot project nor a recommendation from a working group, but a mandate backed by the federal government and the coalition agreement.

Woop woop!

That's not the first nor even the second, but I think it's the third reich thing they've done recently!
