Seamless Collaboration: Versioning Flat ODF Documents with Git
2026-09-10 , Auditorium

Traditional usage of office documents stores them as binary archives hindering effective version control. This session showcases our workflow using Flat ODF and Git to enable granular, text-based versioning and seamless merging for office files. Unlike standard LibreOffice collaboration where internal change tracking can be altered, our approach leverages Git’s immutable history to ensure non-repudiable attribution for every modification.
