European tech firms will ship the first stable release of Euro-Office next month, giving governments and businesses worldwide a ready-to-run, sovereign alternative to Microsoft Office and Google Docs.
Thanks for the info… and yep, competition is good!
Yet, you have to recognize this feels like it was not handled appropriately by either party, I sense there was toxicity all around. Actually both suites could potentially be instantly benefiting from eachother but now I am afraid both will work to undermine the other, while both are in the same boat. No inspiring either if a third company (mainly Russian or Chinese) is thinking in financing a FOSS product.
In Open Source projects, I would love to see more collaboration and less competition, because too many forks risk creating chaos and confusion in potential adopters.
You’re naïve if you think that Euro Office was just a toxic take over without any geopolitical meaning. Both the US and their EU vassals are arming themselves to go to war. I want to see how a burger, a sausage and a baguette will sell themselves as heroes this time. All of us can see how bad they are.
