This looks like the EU is finally offering an alternative suite of office tools to replace US corporate offerings from Google and Microsoft.

Edit: this is *not* an EU-backed programme, but an EU-based company offering an EU-hosted and owned office alternative to Microsoft/GCP providing migration and infrastructure services.

@ReggieHere My understanding is that it's a non-friendly fork of a Russian suite that still uses OOXML as its internal format - so still far too linked to the oligarchs.

@kittylyst

I'd not heard that and it's disappointing (and baffling) if they've chosen OOXML over ODF as a default rather than as an interoperability option.

The screenshots on the page are inconclusive, showing both XLSX and ODT.
