To summarize @CIO's talk: LibreOffice's rollout is done. Currently migrating away from Ms Exchange and Outlook to Open-Xchange, should be done end of the month. Linux desktops are already in use. They're also actively funding opensource orgs #opensource #ocslux

On a personal level I moved over to a Linux desktop 25 years ago. Never had a problem with anything since then. Quite a few people are telling me that NextCloud is very good but I don't use it myself.

Now listening to a talk by @nicolasvivant of the City of Échirolles. Apparently this small city close to Lyon is one of the most advanced when it comes to using #opensource software. 🤯

They've migrated to Linux (ZorinOS?), use LibreOffice, Nextcloud etc. #osclux

Noooo I had to take a quick meeting and now I'm missing two interesting talks; one about governance and the other @rriemann 's talk on an EU operating system for the public sector ☹️

Sorry Robert, please let us know how it went!

I did get a chance to listen to the excellent Omar Moshine, the Open Source Coordinator at the UN. 🔥 The UN strives to use open source solutions by default and does a lot of gov advocacy.

Right now my colleague Marieke Mol is going to talk about the European Digital Infrastructure Consortium (EDIC) 🔥🔥🔥

The EDIC is a collective of EU member states that work together on Digital Commons, like the #opensource workspace alternatives (MijnBureau, Opendesk, LaSuite) that we're all building. #osclux
