International Criminal Court to ditch Microsoft Office for European open source alternative (www.euractiv.com)

The International Criminal Court (ICC) will switch its internal work environment away from Microsoft Office to Open Desk, a European open source alternative, the institution confirmed to Euractiv.

German newspaper Handelsblatt first reported on the plans. The switch comes amid rising concerns about public bodies being reliant on US tech companies to run their services, which have stepped up sharply since the start of US President Donald Trump’s second administration.

For the ICC, such concerns are not abstract: Trump has repeatedly lashed out at the court and slapped sanctions on its chief prosecutor, Karim Khan.

I haven't tried NextCloud but it looks more like a hosted application stack like M365 rather than a general purpose cloud like AWS/Azure/gcloud. What would be really cool is a homegrown cloud that emulated AWS/Azure/gcloud API's so that you could easily port existing applications over.
