LibreOffice VS Radiosure-station-database

CSV files can be used everywhere and with almost any tool. Numerous tools, such as spreadsheet programs like Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, and LibreOffice. Python with Pandas integrated and AI-powered spreadsheet platforms like Quadratic, which blend the flexibility of spreadsheets with AI-powered features, can open and process CSV files.

Open source software is the backbone of the digital world, powering everything from infrastructure tools like Linux and Kubernetes to consumer applications such as Mozilla Firefox and LibreOffice. Despite its free availability and community-driven nature, funding remains a significant challenge for open source development. Without sustainable financial support, even the most widely-used projects risk stagnation or abandonment.

Reader Note: There is another version of libre office that runs on the machine with no need of docker. If you want it click here.

Another prominent example is LibreOffice, which was forked from OpenOffice after Oracle's acquisition of Sun Microsystems. Fearing that the stewardship of OpenOffice might suffer under Oracle, the community forked the project to create LibreOffice, which has since become the more popular and actively developed office suite.

GitHub: LibreOffice GitHub Repository

Note: Libreoffice is a good tool to open PDFs to understand how it is organized. It opens PDF documents in the drawing tool. You can make minor edits but it is not really designed for easy editing of PDFs.

First of all, if you need to write a lot of files in the doc format, there's a lovely office suite called libreoffice! Also, cups is a decent print utility for most printers, I'd check that out as well.

If you are on Github, you might wish to visit my Github devoted to RadioSure. I manage the page where 2 programmers collaborate on sustaining a station database usable by the RadioSure app. They might be more knowledgeable about your request.

The final automatic update from RadioSure was 3-10-2022, download it here.

I had been addressing the task of sorting out the stations missing from the new update and had addressed it in an Issue on our GitHub because I ran into some software and coding issues that would make finding the missing data possible in a file comparison. I did find a software solution but it has its limits.

An "unofficial" database is also available at GitHub. You can expect monthly updates.

Send me a request: https://github.com/JazzfanRS/Radiosure-station-database, but please understand the github was started to convert one database structure to the .rsd format.

I have signed up on github and placed my edited .rsd (in .zipfile) as needed by RadioSure. You can find it at JazzfanRS/Radiosure-station-database (github.com) Github is completely foreign to me. It seems too complicated for my needs. But that is just me. As more get involved, the process will become more familiar.
