I want to see Collabora Office integrated as a Google Workspace app. I understand that others want to host their own servers, but I want the longevity of ODF combined with the convenience of a hosted environment like Workspace. I would think that governments that mandate ODF (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDocument_adoption https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDocument_adoption) would want the convenience of an online version of LibreOffice combined with a native desktop application suite.
- zucker42 6y agoI doubt they want to tie their fortunes to Google, especially given that Google is one of their competitors. Furthermore, Collabora produces mostly (maybe all?) libre software, so integrating with Google doesn't mesh with that. Collabora Office is integrated with NextCloud though.
- highpost 6y agoThanks, that's what I think their position is. But there are plenty of apps in the Google Workspace Marketplace that are competitive with Google's: LucidChart, draw.io, Zoho, etc. I'm sure these apps more than pay for their integration development costs with new subscription revenue.
