Despite the name, OnlyOffice has no connection with LibreOffice's ancestor, the Apache Foundation's OnlyOffice

It pisses me off when tech journalists don't bother to double check with a simple web search. Don't even need to actually search, just type in the search bar "apache foundation o" and it autocompletes in "apache foundation OpenOffice"

It could be worse:
Apache Foundation's OnlyFans

I think I'm gonna stick with LibreOffice

[–] MithranArkanere@lemmy.world 16 points 6 days ago

Nothing bad in having some variety.

Maybe they'll come up with stuff the other team didn't and both improve that way.

I'll gladly try any alternatives to a suite that feels 20 years out of date personally.

I'm disappointed it's not "Euroffice".

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 20 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That only works in English. It's easier not to try and get clever with naming schemes when it needs to cover 12 different languages including one language that's written right to left.

Also from an administration standpoint it's a pain in the arse having a program with a clever name that you have to explain every time somebody tries to search for it in the company portal, and then can't find it. I already have this issue with some software on our domain called Omny instead of Omni.

Beuro works as a pun for English, French and German

Now when are we getting: As-Office, Aus-Office, Afri-Office, NAmeri-Office, SAmeri-Office and Ant-Office?

[–] BouteilleBrune@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Ant-Office would be so cool..

[–] ThunderQueen@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

What is this, an office for ants???
