Euro-Office open-source office suite launches

Euro-Office is a new open-source, web-based collaborative office suite initiated by a European coalition including Nextcloud, IONOS, XWiki, and OpenProject. Based on a fork of OnlyOffice, the suite integrates into platforms like Nextcloud Hub and supports common document formats to reduce dependency on non-European tech giants.

// ANALYSIS

While marketed as a major step for European digital sovereignty, Euro-Office's heavy reliance on proprietary OOXML formats and its controversial OnlyOffice fork draw skepticism regarding its true independence and novelty.

* Forking OnlyOffice instead of collaborating with the upstream project highlights deep friction within the open-source community, particularly as LibreOffice developers contested Euro-Office's claim of being the first European-developed suite.

* Prioritizing Microsoft's OOXML formats runs counter to long-term sovereignty goals, potentially cementing the dominance of Microsoft's document standards rather than fostering open open-standards alternatives.

* Despite the friction, strong backing from key European infrastructure players like Nextcloud and IONOS guarantees instant adoption through their enterprise customer bases.
