From Open Licenses to Open Documents: CCID’s Journey with Educators in Indonesia

Creative Commons Indonesia (CCID) has been leading a program to introduce open licensing—specifically Creative Commons licenses—to educators in Indonesia. The goal is to help teachers understand how open licenses can expand access to teaching and learning materials, empower collaboration, and reduce barriers in sharing knowledge. While the main focus of the program is on open licensing, along the way we also introduce the idea of Open Document Format (ODF) as a practical tool that supports openness in everyday teaching practice.

Dana Language in LibreOffice: Intent-Driven Automation

Dana is a new AI-native programming language from the AI Alliance. It allows users to write simple intent, and the system builds the workflow automatically. In this talk, I will show how Dana can be used with LibreOffice to make office work easier and smarter.
By linking LibreOffice with Dana, we can summarize data, classify content, and generate documents with short, human-readable commands. I will demonstrate how Calc can create tables and charts from natural language prompts, and how Writer can produce formatted text from simple intent.

The Advantages of the OASIS OpenDocument Format Standard

The OASIS Open Document Format (ODF), standardised as ISO/IEC 26300, is an open, vendor-neutral format for text, spreadsheet and presentation documents. Its XML-based and fully documented structure ensures long-term accessibility, reliable archiving and future-proof access, independent of any single product or supplier. Developed through a transparent, consensus-driven process, ODF enables true interoperability across office suites, platforms and public administrations, reducing vendor lock-in and associated costs.

Non-Western script users unite! Common interests of RTL, CTL and CJK language communities

LibreOffice (like MS Office) separates languages or scripts into the three groups: "Western" (West-European-script-like), RTL-CTL (written Right-to-Left or with Complex Text Layout), and CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean and others); and we tend to follow this distinction as QA contributors or as users. Specifically, neither the RTL-CTL crowd nor the CJK crowd tends to follow complaints, requests and challenges of the other group too closely.
