Nextcloud, Ionos and other partners are developing an open-source office suite under the project name „Euro-Office“ as an alternative to the market-dominant Microsoft Office.

The two partners are not starting from scratch, but have forked the components of OnlyOffice available as open-source code and want to build on them. In the summer, the software is then intended to replace the previous office component Collabora in Nextcloud and the Ionos Nextcloud Workspace. A ‘technical preview’ is already available on GitHub.

While this is a good news, I think they should move from github, you know microslop copilot…

    Is python realistic for non tech people? I have a lot of databases across sharepoint but no real tech knowledge beyond basics.

      it was partly made for mathematicians who did not know how to develop software, but also for education. so I guess it’s a good starter language. but it allows doing way too much things that will be very confusing when overused

      If you are running multiple databases you are already a “tech people”

      Sharepoint is not a “database”

      I would recommend learning SQL. It is made to be human readable, and we’ve been perfecting it since the 1960’s.

      Python let you run SQL on any file, and standard DB technology with a very small number of lines of code. Recommend reading about Pandas
