From the FAQ on the homepage:

    What is Office EU?
    Office EU is a European productivity suite for files, email, calendars, documents and calls, built on Nextcloud Hub. It brings Files, Talk, Groupware and Office together in one platform.

Looking through the Office EU screenshots, they do look like Nextcloud Groupware/Files/Office with the logo changed.

Mostly adding this because I wasn't sure if it was a new product or not based on a first glance over the Office EU site. Nextcloud offers recommendations for providers on their site, most of which are in the EU [0]. The Office EU website seems to be new since around January of this year [1]. More managed hosts for Nextcloud is a good thing in my book, but I'd be a bit wary to host my stuff with a brand new provider.

Hopefully it is whitelabeled Nextcloud, and all the improvements can go back to the Nextcloud core. That would be a great use of my tax money.

You say "tax money", but this project isn't a government project or using public money at all. As for contributing back to Nextcloud: there is a long list of Nextcloud partners [1] that contractually obligated themselves to contribute back to Nextcloud for every user they onboard. The company in this article has not.

Oh what! Wow, that' misleading, although I guess it doesn't explicitly say "public" or "government" everywhere. Hm.

[Kuraj]

I agree. We don't need to reinvent the wheel.

> Yes. Office EU provides a desktop sync client for Windows, macOS and Linux so files stay up to date across devices.

Regardless of the Nextcloud issue. It's probably just a web wrapper then.
