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…

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

    Sharepoint is not a “database”. Many people have made that mistake and it eventually comes back to bite you.

    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

      I would just have a lot of interdependent excels on sharepoint, think customer data and their respective equipment, serials, progression. I detest microsoft sooving away woupd be ideal and if I can do it while getting my head around python then great.

      I have no idea what pandas is.
