Microsoft alternative: Nextcloud and Ionos develop open-source ‘Euro-Office’ (www.heise.de)

Nextcloud, Ionos and other partners are developing an open-source office suite under the project name „Euro-Office“ as an alternative to the market-dominant Microsoft Office.

The two partners are not starting from scratch, but have forked the components of OnlyOffice available as open-source code and want to build on them. In the summer, the software is then intended to replace the previous office component Collabora in Nextcloud and the Ionos Nextcloud Workspace. A ‘technical preview’ is already available on GitHub.

While this is a good news, I think they should move from github, you know microslop copilot..

OnlyOffice not OpenOffice

Huh, I didnt realize that was an actual product and not just a mistake.

Only Office is a Russian thing. Euro Office takes all the open source parts of Only Offices, forks them and rewrites stuff only handled by binary blobs.

It's a quite interesting project, freeing that half-open office suite.
