I will try to be there in Paris on July 1st. 🔥 If you have any questions, the #EuroCommons people can easily be reached through their website.
Also this is a separate initiative from the European Digital Infrastructure Consortium ( #EDIC ) Digital Commons, which is the EU government equivalent of this, basically. The two work together.

El impacto del uso de código abierto en las AAPP de la UE para construir servicios digitales soberanos interoperables
El Paquete de Soberanía Tecnológica Europea recientemente propuesto por la Comisión muestra cómo el código abierto puede respaldar la soberanía tecnológica y ayudar a crear servicios digitales más transparentes, seguros, reutilizables e interoperables.

The #OpenSource Maintenance Instrument addresses a structural gap that has defined our work from the beginning: critical open source infrastructure creates public value, yet is often underfunded and institutionally fragile.
The strategy also calls for coordinating shared open #DigitalInfrastructure across Member States through the #DigitalCommons #EDIC. This work is already underway. The Sovereign Tech Agency has helped shape the #DCEDIC from day one... 2/
> external telephony with caller ID, effortless video conferencing with external parties, native apps, and limitations arising from OpenDesk being browser-based. Furthermore, low-code automations are missing.
All of those sound like valid points.
Now if only #EU would recognise the importance of sovereign workspace and steer some resources towards implementation of these features.
Maybe DC #EDIC ?

@fedops @ParadeGrotesque I hadn't heard about the French gov mandating Linux workstations for all their Ministries, that's great news!
The Dutch, French and German workspace teams were already working together on a Linux OS within the EDIC's 100 day challenges, but I don't think a choice for a distro has been made yet. 🇪🇺
I'm super impressed with how proactive the French are. Good work @numerique_gouv 👏
