I got a late lunch talk appointment with @EC_DIGIT next week to discuss prospects of @eu_os.
How would you convince the European Commission internal IT department to aim for a Linux not only for them, but also for any European public administration that wants to?

Digitale Souveränität ist nicht dadurch gelöst, dass man beim Vendor Lock-In von einem lokalen Vendor abhängt.
Das Sovereignty Washing zur #delos Cloud, die von #SAP mitverantwortet wird, hat womöglich zusätzlich zu einem Vertrauensverlust beigetragen.

Robert @rriemann, EU OS project lead, has met yesterday Dirk Schrödter @dirkschroedter, Minister for Digitalization and Head of the State Chancellery Schleswig-Holstein (SH) in Brussels. SH will organise a public tender for a #Linux OS. To be seen to which extend #EU_OS can be reflected in the tender specification! 🤔

The #US imposes 30% of #UStariffs to the #EuropeanUnion. According to Politico, the Commission is ready to retaliate. EU OS believes that a European response with Tariffs on US BigTech services (or all services that face trade deficits) would make so much more sense if the EU had alternatives for those in place. This is why #EU_OS, #EuroStack and #DigitalSovereignty is important. It offers more leverage.

The #EuropeanCommission supports multi-country projects with a programme called European Digital Infrastructure Consortium (EDIC). On 13 June already, France mentioned the "Digital Commons" #EDIC currently in the making, which in principle could also support a sovereign operating system such as #EU_OS.
The EDIC should be launched this summer with France 🇫🇷, Germany 🇩🇪, Netherlands 🇳🇱 , Italy 🇮🇹 and Slovenia 🇸🇮! 🥳

#EU_OS develops concepts for Linux on the Desktop for the public sector already today. Also for Schleswig-Holstein if they choose so. Learn more at https://eu-os.eu

Quote: "In less than three months' time, almost no civil servant, police officer or judge in Schleswig-Holstein will be using any of Microsoft's ubiquitous programs at work. […] The current first phase involves ending the use of Word and Excel software […]. Over the next few years, there will also be a switch to the Linux operating system in order to complete the move away from Windows."
