3. Who am I
Koutarou Watanabe
Fukuoka-city certain group: Does chores
I am from Seinan University
Main system administrator & manual
creator at the time of the 2011 LibreOffice
introduction(I'm not system administrator
now)
Please talk about a question and the
commission with a direct lecturer
This presentation is a private judgment of Watanabe, and
there is not it by the opinion of the position group

4. LibreOffice? ・・・
Does LibreOffice know it?
I always use it!
Though know the name...
Is it not OpenOffice?
I just heard it for the first time (!)
With LibreOffice
The ODF (open document) form that develops
with an office suite open source with Ms-Office
and compatibility (TheDocumentFoundation) an as
standard equipment multi-platform.
(Mac/Linux/Windows)
It is not a
compatible article!

5. The reason that adopted
LibreOffice
1.Solution to problems that I met with by Ms-
Office use.
2.Business efficiency up by the exclusive software.
3.Standardization of preservation, the safekeeping
file format.
4.Compression of the office software expense.
5.Correspondence to various platforms.
6.It had a necessary function for our work.
7.Improvement of development system and user
community.

6. The reason that adopted LibreOffice
1.Solution to problems that I met with by
Ms-Office use ？
The transition of a menu and the screen is different
in each version.
The operation help that fitted each version is
necessary.
The manual maintenance corresponding to each
version is necessary.
A function and the movement that I can handle in
each version are different.
The operation check in each version is required.
The making of the revision corresponding to
each version is necessary.

7. The reason that adopted LibreOffice
2.Business efficiency up by the exclusive
software.
Business efficiency up by the exclusive
software such as word processor, spreadsheet,
presentation database, figure drawing.
In a spreadsheet use a spreadsheet (Calc)!
For documentation a word processor (Writer)!
For data accumulation a database (Base)!
A figure paints pictures for a handbill and poster
manufacture (Draw)!
Realization of the use that utilized a characteristic of
each software.
Is a word processor soon; by force a handbill of making it do not stop it?

8. The reason that adopted LibreOffice
The cause of the problem?
The cause of the problem?
Versions of Ms-Office installed in each PC
do not be unified.
Cannot easily unify inconsistent versions ！！
The problems?
I judge that "the state that all the members
always unify the same versions, and is available"
is necessary.

9. The reason that adopted LibreOffice
3.Standardization of preservation file
format, the safekeeping file format.
In file format standard in PDF and ODF.
We want to prevent flooding of the
preservation file format.
The kind of the file extension in simplicity.
We save it in the file format of the
international standard and keep it.
We want to store a form to open out by either
software.
Save it in file format not to depend on specific
software and the specific software company.
In Apache-OpenOffice of the ODF software is redundant.

10. The reason that adopted LibreOffice
4.Reduction of the expense that it costs for
office software.
Cost not to be over only for initial cost.
Chain of the re-purchase called the version
up.
When PCs increase, the expenses increase
together.(Direct proportion)
Is there not the most suitable solution.
which there is the chain of the expense no
from?
The first step to the operative reduction of
system. The cost necessary for a system is not a sanctuary
anymore, too.

11. The reason that adopted LibreOffice
5.Correspondence to a variety of platforms
When do not think about the choice except
Windows either.
There is the post which wants to use Mac.
There is the post which does not have any
problem in Linux. (I test Mate)
To raise a system freedom of choice degree.
We want to realize OS deployment of the
right stuff in the right place.
I want to avoid the choice of the OS being limited by
Office software.
We did the test to change Windows-AD to Samba4 in secret.
windows7 → 8 changes too much!

12. The reason that adopted LibreOffice
6.Included the function that oneself
needed.
There does not need to be the unnecessary
function not to use by work.
We succeeded to operability of Ms-
Office2003.
We judge that re-making and the operation
check of the existing Ms-Office file are
possible.
We judge that the function that is necessary
for work has.
We judge it to be able to execute work.

13. The reason that adopted LibreOffice
7.Improvement of development system of
TDF and community activity.
The freer development system and community.
Posture to take in the good thing freely.
Functional enhancement close to a user
glance.
Active community activity.
We evaluate the point where a development
team and a user and community make an
effort towards the same aim.

14. The point that wants you to be careful in
migration of the software?
Compatibility is high ＝ Is work possible?
If compatibility with Ms-Office is high, do you
not think that work is possible?
It is the most important point to make who is
responsible clear when I use a file.
What do you mean?
Important!
The complete compatibility is totally different from the high compatibility!

15. As actions to be taken to the issue of
responsibility.
For example, about the use of the sheet that the use in
Excel2003 was appointed, it is limited to the use in
Excel2003 that a sheet creator secures it.
When I use the file mentioned above by the high
compatible other software, it becomes the unexpected
use, and it is with the self-responsibility of the user
person.
About duties use file appointed software, you should
avoid using it anything other than designated software
for the reason of being high compatible.
You should not carry out the software use that the
responsibility of the result cannot secure in duties.
Only software with complete compatibility
is available as substitution of Ms-Office.
illustrate it in the following page!

16. The responsibility of the file author?
Ms-Office Ms-Office
OpenOffice
LibreOffice
Compatible office
LibreOffice LibreOffice
Ms-Office
OpenOffice
The file author is not concerned about the movement except the
software that oneself appointed the use.
※The version of the software is related closely, too
※self-responsibility
※self-responsibility
Compatible office

17. The point that wants you to be careful in
migration of the software?
Compatibility is high ＝ Is work possible?
We recommend use to install two Office
software to solve the issue of compatibility
with Ms-Office.
As actions to be taken to the issue of
responsibility.
Important!
If compatibility with Ms-Office is high, do you
not think that work is possible?
It is the most important point to make who is
responsible clear when I use a file.
The complete compatibility is totally different from the high compatibility!

18. What is two Office software simultaneous
use?
Form to apply office software two with one
PC at the same time
The file that the use of Ms-Office was
appointed uses Ms-Office
We use LibreOffice for the file of the ODF form
We use the office software corresponding to
the file format to use properly
We install only LibreOffice in a PC to deploy
first (Ms-Office installs it more)
We can exclude compatibility with Ms-
Office from requirements for LibreOffice

21. As for now when a shift of Ms-Office
is completed!
It is a good opportunity to start
for a smooth shift to LibreOffice!
office software double
feature use is possible
with all PCs!

22. 5 steps to migration
After use in PDF and CSV was stable, a
start of the ODF conversion is important
1.At first use in PDF and CSV.
2.Installation of Ms-Office picking a PC .
3.For software standard in LibreOffice.
4.Increase friends with pilot introduction.
5.Instruction to manual preparations and
reference.
It is important to
let you be conscious
of file format

23. The OSS introduction is not a purpose!
The reason that Ms-Office needs to a
necessary PC definitely!
That the most important thing can work
Ms-Office installs necessary terminal Ms-
Office!
↑I do not get control when I do not make it clear

25. A current problem and the future
prospects
What kind of form do you guarantee securing
of stability in as duties tool? ！ But, it is a
problem
There are few kinds of the Japanese free font
The making of the writing from top to bottom is
weak
We are groping for smooth version up means
Who should perform a movement guarantee at the
time of the version up how when?

26. FAQ
Is the compatibility with Ms-Office high?
Does the VBA macro work?
Did you carry out operation workshops?
The thing that is the most necessary for a
company and corporation introduction?
The request to SI supplier?
Even if there is not maker support, is it all right?
What kind of objection came?
The posture that the company top supports is
necessary.
●The compatibility is different by each.
● When I judge it whether you can work?

27. LibreOffice
「Like ！」
「Dislike 」

28. Such a point of LibreOffice is 「like ！」
License management is unnecessary.
The same software can use even a job at home.
The same version of the same software can standardize
it.
Breakaway from a chain called the charged version up.
I can carry out update of the software without hesitating.
Draw and Impress are available to all the members.
You do not need to think about having software or not at
the time of file distribution.
(there was that person PowerPoint) ・ Is it Visio, Access;)?
Practice makes
perfect. ！

29. Such a point of LibreOffice is 「dislike ！」
A careful test is required at the time of the
version up!
Base is still unstable(if the utilization that I
narrowed down a use purpose to good!).
The correspondence to writing from top to
bottom is weak by all means.
Information is short generally (to
processing method - macro and Tips).
Base+HSQLDB
You should use FireBird/MySQL/PostgreSQL than
BASE if you accumulate data.
The software needing an operation check test
particularly is BASE

30. OK! Let's start shift
work from today! ！
There is no time like the present!

31. Because I heard
today's seminar,
surely it is all right! ！
There is no time like the present!

32. Is there any question?

33. •Thank you for your attention.
