Summary
Euro-Office, an open-source alternative to Microsoft Office and Google Docs, is launching its 1.0 stable release on June 9. Developed by European tech firms, it aims to provide governments and businesses worldwide with a sovereign, privacy-focused office suite that reduces reliance on American-dominated SaaS platforms.
