France goes all open source this year!

[ernie (Ernest N. Wilcox Jr.)]

In my ZDNet Tech Today newsletter I,m reading an item named France is replacing 2.5 million Windows desktops with Linux - and I mapped out its new stack, and it suggests a larger migration from Windows across Europe! I think everyone may find this development very interesting going forward!

Let's cheer for Denmark and now France!

Right now, EU OS is not a project of the European Union. Instead, EU OS is a community-led Proof-of-Concept. This means it is lead by a community of volunteers and enthusisasts. The project goal is to become a project of the European Commission in the future and use https://code.europa.eu. For this EU OS is in touch with the public administration on member state and EU level. So far, EU OS relies on EU OS · GitLab.

Think what these events may have on the popularity of GNU/Linux for the average user, not only in the EU, but world-wide! When EU Nations succeed at migrating their tech services from M$ products to their own, community-based and open source products, the rest of the world will begin to recognize the true value of open source, regardless whether they’re running MS Windows or GNU/Linux! Even though I don’t really expect it, I’d love to be able to call 2027 or 2028 the year of Linux!
