#DigitalSovereignty, #OpenStandards, #ODF, #EuroOffice, #EuroStack It's VERY DISAPPOINTING that Euro-Office chose #Microsoft’s proprietary OOXML format instead of Open Document Format (ODF). blog.documentfoundation.org/…

🔴 Trump turns 80: birthday messages from critics and allies span de-dollarization claims to corruption charges Trump's 80th birthday drew contrasting public statements from journalists, authors, and activists. Cory Doctorow credited Trump with accelerating de-dollarization and reducing American tech dominance, citing Ethiopia's yuan revaluation and EU projects like Eurostack replacing Microsoft Office 365 with European alternatives. Piers Morgan highlighted Trump's "resilience," noting he returned to rallies days after the assassination attempt that bloodied his ear. "I couldn't let myself think about that," Trump told Morgan.

Europe’s Sovereignty Vote Raises CIO Stakes A compelling story by Gyana Swain (@mrgyan) in @Computerworld on how Europe is moving to reduce deep dependency on non-EU technology providers across cloud, semiconductors, software, and AI. The link to the story is attached, but for deeper analysis on this topic, head over to greyhoundresearch.com. Below is a snapshot of what we at Greyhound Research had to say on the topic. At @Greyhound_R, we believe the European Parliament’s vote is not merely symbolic. It is a strategic escalation that reframes digital infrastructure as sovereignty infrastructure, even though it is not yet legislation, procurement reform, or an enforceable mandate. The important shift is tone and operating intent. For years, digital sovereignty was treated as a philosophical or compliance debate. This vote pulls it into the operational foreground by calling for dependency mapping, EU-wide capability building, and a “Eurostack” across cloud, chips, software, data centres, and AI. For CIOs, sovereignty cannot mean data residency alone. It must mean control over jurisdiction, keys, identity governance, operational command, and reversibility. If data sits in Europe but encryption keys, privileged access, or emergency administration remain exposed to third-country legal regimes, the sovereignty posture is incomplete. Procurement is where the market could begin to move. Preferential scoring will not overturn hyperscaler dominance overnight, especially given the scale, automation, and ecosystem depth of US providers. But it can create sovereign zones in strategic sectors and force every vendor, including hyperscalers, to make control planes, staffing models, and legal structures more jurisdictionally accountable. The execution risk is fragmentation. If Member States define sovereignty differently, Europe may end up with a patchwork of controls rather than a common operating model. The Commission, procurement authorities, and national governments must now convert political momentum into enforceable criteria, funding, and aligned certification. At this scale, advantage comes from tested operational control, not sovereignty rhetoric. Exit readiness, key custody, local escalation paths, and workload portability will matter far more than regional hosting claims or political ambition. computerworld.com/article/41… #GreyhoundStandpoint #DigitalSovereignty #CloudComputing #EuropeanUnion #CIO #AI

At the end of the day it's just politicians and civil servants I'd hardly call them "the elites" that need to be convinced but European industry also needs a wake up call, some direction is slowly forming and some positive things are happening like trying to produce an indigenous proper hyperscaler, we just need to all lobby hard for the Eurostack 💙

EuroStack, EuroSky, Euro-Nationalismus? Wir wollen raus aus der Abhängigkeit vom Silicon Valley. Aber das Gegenmodell heißt Europa – nicht Gerechtigkeit, schreibt @ayadoingthings surplusmagazin.de/digitale-s…

Last week, the European Commission published the much-anticipated EU Digital Sovereignty Package, which contains its new Open Source Strategy: digital-strategy.ec.europa.e… 🇪🇺 The new policy finally places European #opensource where it deserves to be—right at the centre of the EU’s technological sovereignty—promoting European open alternatives to non-EU proprietary solutions in critical domains. This crucial strategy aims to harness the power of open source to strengthen Europe’s strategic autonomy in critical areas of digital infrastructure where it currently faces dependencies, like #cloud, #edge, and #AI. And, for that, it already identifies successful industrial-grade technologies made in Europe by companies like @aiven_io , @arduino , @MistralAI , @Nextclouders, @Odoo, @opennebula, and @SUSE. There is a choice, and the choice is yours! ➡️ opennebula.io/sovereign-clou… #DigitalEU #SovereignCloud #SovereignAI #CloudComputing #HPC #TelcoEdge #AIfactories #EuroStack #OpenSourceEU #OpenNebula

UPDATE 1/4: SYNNQ is on track — in just 80 days the 175B EUROSTACK-LLM v1 will be complete. 🚀 This milestone clears the way for VAGA to officially go live alongside it. A strong synergy — infrastructure token utility — coming together at the right time. 🔗✨

Europe Reclaims Digital Sovereignty Europe is increasingly breaking away from its dependence on US technology and turning to open-source and European alternatives. Geopolitical tensions, sanctions, and the pursuit of data sovereignty are driving sensitive institutions such as militaries, courts, and central banks to make this shift. Individual cases like the International Criminal Court’s move to openDesk or the Austrian Armed Forces’ transition to LibreOffice demonstrate that this is no longer a fringe phenomenon. A WIRED reporter has now documented nearly 40 such migrations – a clear signal for companies to prepare for this direction as well. References: Burgess, M. (2025).

Microsoft Office finally has a serious open-source challenger. It's called Euro-Office. A new project backed by contributors from: • Nextcloud • Proton • IONOS • OpenProject • XWiki • EuroStack What it offers: • Edit DOCX, XLSX, PPTX and PDF files • Real-time collaboration • Browser-based document editing • Support for Microsoft Office and OpenDocument formats • Open-source AGPL licensed codebase Unlike traditional office suites, Euro-Office is designed to be integrated into platforms like: • Nextcloud • Proton Docs • OpenProject • Wikis • File sharing solutions The project started as a fork of ONLYOFFICE and aims to provide: • Full transparency • Open development • Community governance • Digital sovereignty A very interesting project to watch if you care about the future of open-source productivity software. Would you switch from Microsoft Office if this reached feature parity?

Euro-Office just launched its first stable version 🇪🇺🔥 We're excited to be part of this movement to bring digital sovereignty to Europe and beyond with @Nextclouders @XWiki @openproject @xwikiorg @soverinteam #eurostack 🎉

When I saw Eurostack plan: Oniro was missing, Xpanse was missing, no Aptoide to replace Google Play as standard enforced on Androids & no Servo plan. Once again Europeans not serious when it comes to tech soveriengity and today like the past all talk but barking now over Trump.

Er zijn genoeg Europese open source alternatieven voor Big Tech in de Eurostack eurostack.eu/ 🧵/6 #EU #tech #digitalesoevereiniteit

Europe is quietly trying to break up with American tech. Not with a press release. With procurement contracts. Here’s what’s actually happening 🧵 The trigger wasn’t strategy. It was fear. When the US sanctioned ICC judges investigating war crimes, European capitals realised something uncomfortable: the tools they run their governments on are controlled from Washington. The nightmare scenario has a name now. A “kill switch.” If your courts, hospitals and ministries run on US cloud, what happens when the relationship sours? Belgium’s cyber chief flat out admitted Europe has “lost the internet.” France is moving first. The government is swapping Windows for Linux on some machines, and replacing Zoom and Teams with a homegrown platform called Visio. Germany, Denmark and others are testing the same waters. The scale of the problem is brutal. The EU relies on non-European countries for over 80% of its digital infrastructure. Data centres, cloud, chips, operating systems. The whole stack runs through American companies. There’s a plan: the “EuroStack.” A push to build European alternatives for cloud, software and hardware. The framing from its founder is blunt. Europe is currently a “digital colony” and the capital flowing to US Big Tech should stay home. But here’s the catch nobody wants to say out loud. Untangling this could cost hundreds of billions and take years. In the short term it might damage the European economy more than it protects it. So the real question isn’t “can Europe ditch American tech.” It’s “should it, and at what price.” Sovereignty sounds clean. The bill behind it does not. Worth watching for anyone in tech. Sovereignty, data control and where your tools actually live are about to become real business decisions, not abstract policy. What runs your stack matters more than it did a year ago.

I've been following the idea of the Eurostack and decoupling from the US for years. It's smoke and mirrors. Qwant search? It's literally Bing. Abandoning Microsoft? Happens on a tiny scale. What isn't reported: failed projects that return to MS/Google. Happens all the time.

Euro-Office, a European open-source productivity suite backed by IONOS, Nextcloud, Eurostack, XWiki, OpenProject, Soverin, Abilian, BTactic, OpenXchange and Office.eu, is scheduled for general availability on June 9, 2026, with a 1.0 release
