Euro-Office 1.0 arrives to open-source infighting: Compatibility is not sovereignty
Summary
Euro-Office has reached its first stable release as a cloud-based, open-source alternative to Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. The project targets European digital sovereignty and is being packaged by platforms such as Nextcloud and Ionos. The release still feels like a tech preview, with rough edges, fiddly integration, and no recommendation for production use yet. The article also highlights a dispute over licensing, branding, and the choice to default to Microsoft OOXML formats instead of ODF. The launch matters because it gives European organizations a new office suite option that can be hosted on EU infrastructure.
