The Document Foundation on City of Munich’s discussion on returning to Microsoft
18 to 28% is <i>not</i> a minor percentage of users. I&#x27;m a fan of LibreOffice, and was an extremely early adopter and contributor to the project, being one of the people that pushed for and created the community council at the time. Brushing these kind of numbers away isn&#x27;t going to help, and they will be hit hard on that point by the opposition. The better approach will be to adress the mismatch head on, with an actionable plan on how to solve these issues.<p>I worked hard, in a professional capacity, for the adoption of LO and Desktop Linux in various government departments around the EU, and the agression of commercial players against this kind of push is phenomenal. Eventually I moved on professionally but the scars are still with me. One powerful message this whole thing left me with is that you cannot do this kind of thing, and hope to have a career in professional services. I was forced to drop out of public participation with OSS projects, and never really went back.
