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..

Sounds good to me! I hope they support the open document formats better than onlyoffice currently does. Also euro-office isn't a particularly good name, although it has the advantage of being explicit about where it's based.

    It looks like a well deserved middle finger to the US.
