Euro-Office is an upcoming FOSS office suite and collaborative software platform based on OnlyOffice that provides editors for documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and PDFs. The software includes web-based, desktop, and mobile applications designed for document creation, editing, and collaborative work.[3]
History
[edit]The project began in March 2026 in a quest to gain full independence from Microsoft Office being used in EU public computers.[4][5][6] The project is a collaboration between various organizations, companies, and open source developers. The original collaborators were IONOS, Nextcloud, Eurostack, XWiki, OpenProject, Soverin, Abilian and BTactic, with Office EU and Open-Xchange joining the project soon after its announcement.[7][8]
One of the first changes made to the Euro-Office codebase was to remove licensing terms deemed to be "unenforceable and non-obligatory" additions to the GNU AGPL licence.[9] Three days later, the developers of OnlyOffice responded by publicly calling these changes a licensing violation.[10][11] Soon after, OnlyOffice announced it would be suspend its partnership with Nextcloud due to the conflict.[12]
Products
[edit]Similar to OnlyOffice, the Euro-Office ecosystem consists of several core applications and tools designed for document editing, collaboration, and workspace management. These include:
| Feature/Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Euro-Office Docs | The core document editing engine providing web-based editors for text documents, spreadsheets, presentations, PDF files, and fillable forms. It supports formats including DOCX, ODT, XLSX, ODS, PPTX, ODP, and PDF. The editors provide real-time collaborative editing with features such as comments, version history, track changes, document comparison, and built-in chat. Euro-Office Docs can be deployed on a private server or used through cloud services. |
