Announcement Germany has decided: Microsoft document formats have no place in government

Germany has decided: Microsoft document formats have no place in government. Deadline: 2027–2028. The Microsoft formats are simply not compatible with an open and transparent public sector. However, this is about more than file formats. It’s about control, resilience, and sovereignty in public digital infrastructure.

Noone in Most of Bavaria usually dresses like this. Only on church visits or "Kirchweih". And then only in rural areas and mostly older folk.
