Digital sovereignty is driving European governments off US clouds and onto homegrown open source options.
With Euro-Office due on Tuesday, and LibreOffice Online back in development, Collabora has plenty on the line with this new release.
An open letter from the Document Foundation argues that Euro-Office isn’t what it claims—and may reinforce Microsoft’s ecosystem instead.

As ODF 1.4 nears release, office suite developers and users alike can expect an open, transparent format designed to meet modern document needs.
