I found odt2txt very useful for converting .odt (open document text files that openoffice creates) to .txt

If you have a huge bunch of .odt files that you want converted try this command:

find -name '*.odt' | while read odt; do odt2txt.py "$odt" > "${odt%.odt}.txt"; done;

So now my flatmates can read all the cooking recipes without installing openoffice :)
