The PDF Readers campaign[1] recently contacted LibreOffice and asked us to promote the use of Free Software readers for PDF file formats. We had a brief discussion[2] on the website mailing list, and I had the idea that it might be helpful for LibreOffice if we or the FSFE ran a similar campaign for ODF.
There are several directions such a campaign could take; here are some of my first thoughts: 1) Promote the use of standardized icons for ODF files, both when listing files for download, or when listing system capabilities/allowed upload formats. (Question: Is there a standardized set of icons for ODF files?) 2) Promote the use of Free Software for reading/writing ODF file formats. 3) Ask websites that provide ODF files to link to our list of ODF-compatible Free Software. Following the concept of the PDF Readers campaign, we could get a domain like 'odf-software.org' and provide HTML and campaign badges/icons to make it trivial to link to the site. 4) Ask websites that provide editable files in Word/Excel/PowerPoint to alternately or additionally provide versions in an ODF format.
