Nextcloud 与 Ionos 发布了 **Euro-Office** 的首个稳定版本。这是一套开源网络办公套件，旨在为 Microsoft Office 和 Google Docs 提供具有主权性质的替代方案。该套件基于 OnlyOffice 开发，旨在促进文档、电子表格和演示文稿的协同编辑，并高度重视 ODF 等开放标准。该项目由一个合作伙伴联盟支持，其中包括 XWiki、OpenProject 和 Open-Xchange。虽然初期开发重点在于代码清理和安全性，但未来的更新将包括专门的桌面和移动应用程序。目前，Euro-Office 正被整合进 Nextcloud Hub 26 等协作平台。用户可以选择使用全新的 Euro-Office 或现有的 Collabora 套件。在早期经历过关于许可合规性的争议后，项目合作伙伴已解决了相关顾虑，明确表示所有必要的源代码和品牌声明均已到位。开发工作正由专门的团队持续推进，目前可通过 Docker 进行测试。随着开源领域的不断演进——包括 LibreOffice 也开始转向基于浏览器的协作——Euro-Office 代表了在减少对专有办公软件依赖方面迈出的重要一步。

首款开源网页办公套件“Euro-Office”的发布在 Hacker News 上引发了热议。尽管该项目的初衷是为办公软件提供一种开源替代方案，但讨论很快转向了其开源性质所带来的地缘政治影响。一些用户指出，该项目促成了欧洲和俄罗斯开发者之间的间接协作，这显得十分讽刺；他们注意到，尽管国际关系持续紧张，双方却能轻易地合并彼此的代码。另一些评论者则对此持反对意见，认为专业协作应当超越政府间的冲突，且开源软件应始终作为全球开发的客观中立地带。此外，技术上的不满也随之出现。用户批评其官方网站在访问者同意侵入式数据追踪或付费之前会拦截访问。一些评论者分享了绕过这些限制的方法，例如使用浏览器的阅读模式或广告拦截插件。

The first stable version of the open-source web office suite Euro-Office has been released. This was announced by the leading project partners Nextcloud and Ionos. Euro-Office aims to enable companies, authorities, and other organizations to jointly create and edit documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, and to become independent of proprietary offerings such as Microsoft Office or Google Docs.

"Our top priority was to provide a version that users can actually work with. Initially, we cleaned up the code, implemented some security updates, and integrated Euro Office into existing solutions," summarizes Nextcloud CEO Frank Karlitschek on the project status. Local desktop and mobile applications are not yet available; they are the next step on the list. Full support for open standards like ODF is also a priority. "This will be at the very top of the agenda for the next version," says Karlitschek.

Euro-Office is initially intended to be integrated primarily as an office module in the collaboration tools of the partners. In addition to Ionos and Nextcloud, Eurostack, XWiki, OpenProject, Soverin, Abilian, BTactic, Open-Xchange, and Office.eu are also on board as project partners. Ionos and Nextcloud are building a development team for Euro-Office, according to their own statements, and the first positions have already been filled.

New Office Component at Nextcloud

Nextcloud itself is making the first integration with Nextcloud Hub 26 Spring, also introduced today, Tuesday.

However, the office component Collabora, previously used in Nextcloud, will not disappear, according to Nextcloud CEO Karlitschek. Users will have the choice between Collabora and Euro-Office. The integration of Euro-Office into Ionos' Nextcloud Workspace offering is planned for late summer. The French company XWiki expects integration in the fourth quarter of this year. Office.eu, based in the Netherlands, also plans to offer a product based on Euro-Office.

Technically, it is a fork of the open-source suite OnlyOffice. At the start of the project, Nextcloud and Ionos justified the decision for the OnlyOffice fork with its more modern architecture and codebase compared to LibreOffice and its browser variant Collabora.

License Violation Allegation Resolved

However, shortly after the project announcement, OnlyOffice raised allegations of license violations. According to Karlitschek, this has now been cleared up, and corresponding source and brand notices have been added to Euro-Office, thus settling the dispute. However, competition from the open-source camp could soon emerge, as LibreOffice announced a strategic shift at the end of May. The free office suite will in the future focus more on web browsers, smartphones, and collaborative work.

Anyone who wants to try Euro-Office on a Docker basis or contribute to the project can find more information in the GitHub repo.
