Here's one I found on Github:

https://github.com/rroart/ods2

Given that the last changes were 10 years ago, I don't know how
well it will work with current Linux kernel versions so be
careful using it.

I don't know if there's a more modern version. I've known about
these efforts for a long time, but it looks like development may
have stopped.
