France, Germany and The Netherlands are co-developing an open source suite of collaborative components for their government employees. La suite numérique is the French version, Opendesk is the German, and Mijn Bureau is the Dutch. I find that pretty amazing and I wouldn't have hoped for anything better!

They really should GPL it all. The US will steal it and create AWS services

At least for the German one, it's essentially a rebranding of existing open source products packaged/adapted to work as a suite.

For example, for editing documents they are using Collabora online (Libreoffice-based), for chat it's Matrix, for storage Nextcloud, email & calendar from Ox Cloud, etc.
