Huh, Open Desk? Why not LibreOffice or OnlyOffice? They're both European and more widely used I'm pretty sure. Seems like a strange choice.
from a quick review of the webpage and the source, i can highlight two things.
first one is that it is commisioned by a german ministry. this can mean something between germany wants to have something they can influence to some personal deal that someone did to get some extra income
second one is that it appears to be closer to a pre-configured set of software to deploy, more than new project. it's closer to the likes of yunohost or linuxserver. it just deploy already existing foss software using kubernetes and pre-existing configuration
it appears that it uses collabora (somehow related to libreoffice, but not sure how much) as the docs component
