@HI_Greens @woody Having a very quick look at the github of La suite Meet https://github.com/suitenumerique/meet it seems it's an implementation of another project called LiveKit. A recent blog post of LiveKit talks about their "Grok Voice Agent API in partnership with xAI". The beauty of FLOSS, no need to agree with the original developer!
@HI_Greens @woody Again, doesn't mean that the French gvmt implementation is bad, just that upstream, they're a open source but for profit venture capital funded (from my quick look) US based company, which thinks integration with Grok is a competitive advantage.
I would assume the French are not implementing that API!

➡️ France announced today it’s phasing out Teams, Zoom, etc. to be replaced with a French/European solution called Visio.
The data is hosted on @outscale
Transcripts and subtitles are also handled by French providers.
The target is set on 2027 for government agencies.
@HI_Greens I'm not sure how they get around Microsoft almost certainly having a trademark on the word Visio pertaining to software.

@HI_Greens how silly, they name it like the microsoft product for doing 2D vector graphics. Didn't they do any research?

A small Irish fast food company turned over the trademark on Big Macs, so I guess a country with nukes shouldn't have any issue

Yeah, Bluejeans was bought by Verizon and shut down. We've used Jitsi for the last ten years, and generally been happy with it, but it doesn't stretch to more than about 30 users very gracefully.@woody @HI_Greens If you're looking for a web conference software, take a look at BigBlueButton https://bigbluebutton.org/
It can be self-hosted

@HI_Greens I'm not sure I understand the anti-Microsoft sentiment when at the same time there's a pro-Google one.

@HI_Greens Yes, it can #BoycottUsa

@HI_Greens me, a person familiar with many products: "Oh *fuck*."
(Yes, Microslop owns the trademark worldwide including the EU. 000077180. And has a bulletproof claim. They're gonna wanna change that name... rapide.)

@rootwyrm It seems strange. I suppose they could have paid to use it, but why pay money for a worn-out brandname, when it's easier to just think up a new one?

@HI_Greens I'm sure Microsoft would like to have a word about the name....

The issue is not the quality of OSS alternatives. It's that end users don't want to even think about hosting and infrastructure (leaving aside network effects for now). The same way they don't want to think about the plumbing in their home, and just call a plumber if it's not working. So I see the issue of trustworthy IT infrastructure to be conceptually similar to fatbergs, which are a mess that centralised authorities pay millions to clean up.
That's not exactly giving hope; but I would say that what makes it approachable to end users requires managed infrastructure that they don't need to think about. Including paying for it, as users have also been trained to expect to get consumer digital services for free. It's a high bar, but Signal and mastodon have some success because they provide this. DIY options like installing Linux or hosting your own service do not.

Easy for you. Not for non technologiests.

I take it you've never been a member of a union or non-technologist non-profit org.
-
Yes, because you're a technologist and they're not. Patronizing them is counterproductive.

This is a phenomenal, long-but-worth-watching stand-up set by Josh Johnson, recently in London. A smart and astute man at the least of times - and he’s 💯 on point here. I encourage folks to watch this one.
We need to trust in people, build communities, connect with one another, and call out what is wrong.
