💸 Germany sends €204.5M to Microsoft annually while European open-source projects need investment.

Our Account Manager's analysis shows how redirecting these funds could:
✔️End vendor lock-in cycles
✔️Strengthen data sovereignty
✔️Create local tech jobs
✔️Support FLOSS innovation

XWiki, CryptPad and other open-source solutions prove alternatives exist, they just need proper funding.

„Es bleibt also spannend, ob und wie am Ende mehr digitale Unabhängigkeit umgesetzt wird. Die Möglichkeiten reichen von einem massiven Ausbau der europäischen Industrieförderung bei zunehmender staatlicher Kontrolle über ein Souveränitäts-Washing mit US-Firmen, die ihre Produkte mit Serverstandort Germany als souverän verkaufen, bis hin zu einer großangelegten Open-Source- und Gemeingüter-Offensive.“

My cohousing group is trying to buy European and open source tech. Things are going mostly well, but we struggle with video conferencing. We are currently on OpenTalk. It works well for small meetings with 4-6 people connected, but plenaries are a disaster.

Did a decent service hit the market in the two years since I last investigated this? Can anyone save us from having to get a Zoom subscription?

Our motto is »#Linux #OpenSource News & #KnowHow for #Office Tasks.«

Our posts are for #solopreneurs, #trainers, #facilitators, and everybody else who tackles their office tasks using open source software under Linux.

While we appreciate #portability, we're strictly Linux-only. With respect to other operating systems: no bashing, no praise, no comparisons. We've already made our choice.

Tomorrow's 4 weeks since #OpenSource Initiative tampered w/ ballots to surreptitiously remove Bentley Hensel, @richardfontana, & me from already-cast votes to pretend like we never ran. The only time @osi will now even say our names is to spread false accusations.

According to the “results” announcement…

…they've promised to publish a “retrospective” on their 2025 election by tomorrow. One wonders what they'll say to justify all this? 🤔
