After reading through the repo README, I have no idea what it is.
Looks to me like they're trying to build something like office 365, but open source. Mostly by wiring other open-source components together I think?
This is probably a better starting point, unfortunately the text is in German: https://gitlab.opencode.de/bmi/souveraener_arbeitsplatz/info
Exactly.
The goal is to allow a completely free and open-source deployment of an O365-like infrastructure in order to prevent being tethered to Microsoft, for example. The main use seems to be so that municipalities can set up something cheaply and quickly, without any licensing headaches.
