With Hub 26 Summer, a dedicated desktop application joins that option, letting people edit documents, spreadsheets and presentations locally while keeping their files securely connected to Nextcloud. For organizations and individuals who prefer a traditional desktop experience, this closes one of the last gaps between Euro-Office and Microsoft Office, without handing control of their data to a non-European vendor.&nbsp;Office also got noticeably faster in this release, with improved filtering and document thumbnails making it quicker to find and open the right file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/de\/blog\/press_releases\/industry-initiative-launches-euro-office-as-true-sovereign-office-suite\/\"><u>Euro-Office is developed together with IONOS, Open-Xchange, Office.eu and other European partners<\/u><\/a>, alongside a growing community of contributors. Much of the work on the desktop client itself came from the community, another example of the project&#8217;s momentum since its launch earlier this year.&nbsp;While the contributors and supporters of Euro-Office are Europe-based, the open source solution is open to contributions worldwide and available globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEurope needs a reliable and independent office solution that can compete with established providers on equal terms. This has been our goal ever since we co-initiated the Euro-Office Initiative. For an alternative office solution to be successful, it must work in day-to-day working life and be just as easy to use as existing solutions. The new desktop client for Euro-Office is the next logical step in this process\u201d, said Patrick Schaudel, Chief Product Officer SMB Solutions of IONOS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Frank Karlitschek, CEO and Founder of Nextcloud, said: &#8220;With the Euro-Office desktop app, we&#8217;re giving people and organizations a real, sovereign alternative to Microsoft Office, not just in the browser, but exactly where many of them still work every day: on their own computer. Choice is a core part of digital sovereignty. It isn&#8217;t only about where your data lives, it&#8217;s also about which tools you get to work with, and being able to make that choice yourself.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Built together: the ecosystem delivers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier this year, <a href=\"https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/blog\/press_releases\/nextcloud-has-launched-a-new-isv-partner-program-to-grow-its-app-store-tenfold\/\"><u>Nextcloud announced it would put more structure behind its collaboration with independent software vendors, partners and the community<\/u><\/a>. Hub 26 Summer is a visible result of that shift: a growing share of the release&#8217;s most important improvements were built together with the organizations that use the software every day, rather than by Nextcloud alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That collaboration takes different forms across the ecosystem. <strong>Dataport<\/strong>, a public-sector IT service provider, is providing direct feedback to Nextcloud engineers for the new Teams functionality, which gives project groups their own shared workspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, developers at <strong>SURF<\/strong>, the Dutch collaborative organization for education and research, directly contributed the new browsable room finder for calendar resource booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same approach can be seen in the German state of&nbsp;<strong>Schleswig-Holstein<\/strong>, where public administration runs a large number of specialist procedures (&#8220;Fachverfahren&#8221;) on Nextcloud Tables. Their teams needed a way to evolve a table&#8217;s structure, for example adding columns or changing views, without rebuilding the process running on top of it. Working with Nextcloud engineers, that requirement became a new structure import feature: an existing table can adopt a new structure while keeping its data intact, so processes can keep evolving instead of being rebuilt from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Across Nextcloud Groupware apps, Calendar, Mail and Contacts, more than half of this release&#8217;s improvements came from community contributors.&nbsp;Anna Larch, Developer Relations Lead at Nextcloud, said: &#8220;What you see in this release is the result of months of close collaboration with our community and our partners. Whether it&#8217;s features shaped together with organizations like Dataport and SURF, or code contributed by individual developers in the community, our ecosystem isn&#8217;t just giving feedback, it&#8217;s actively building the product with us. That&#8217;s exactly what we set out to make possible.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Availability<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nextcloud Hub 26 Summer is available starting today, the Euro-Office desktop app will be available to download in the next few weeks.&nbsp;More details on the release are being presented in a <a href=\"https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/hub26-summer\/\"><u>launch livestream<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More information on the improvements in the launch blog: <a href=\"https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/blog\/nextcloud-hub26-summer.\"><u>https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/blog\/nextcloud-hub26-summer.<\/u><\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About Nextcloud<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nextcloud is the world&#8217;s most popular privacy-focused collaboration platform.
