Office.eu launches as Europe's sovereign office platform
It's always a good thing to have multiple players and I hope we can have actual EU-based alternatives, but I feel like this is less interesting as a project than _La Suite numérique_ [1] developed by the French government or _CryptPad_ [2] developed by XWiki, a French company based in Paris.

Euro firms must ditch Uncle Sam's clouds and go EU-native
This wouldn't address building an actual E2EE service. This is a hard issue.
CryptPad [1] does this but it has strong limitations inherent to a fully E2EE system.

French gov's open source alternative to Notion or Outline
For e2ee you might want to have a look at CryptPad (https://cryptpad.org). You can test it on the free instance https://cryptpad.fr
You'll have plenty of doc types with full end to end encryption, including for your drive.

Ask HN: Hackable Personal Database?
I'm looking for the same. Open source, self hosted, and end-to-end encrypted.
I haven't found anything that really does all of this, but it seems like Cryptpad[0] and Peergos[1] are viable platforms upon which something like this could be built.
Except for encryption, Atomic Data[2] seems like a really cool platform to build this on.

Proton launches its own version of Google Docs
I see that they claim all of their apps and libraries are open source[0]. But they only link to the OpenPGP libraries they're using. Is this actually open source? Following the "Open Source" footer link[1], here they only link to the ProtonMail Github account with nothing mentioning ProtonDrive.
And if it is actually open source, I'd love to see a comparison to CryptPad[2]
> which is why we’ve made all our apps and encryption libraries open source
