Not only for them, but any other non-European videoconferencing software.

@itsfoss En tous cas! Auf jeden Fall! For shure! The french President is so pissed of everything that comes from the greatest country asshole (GröFatZ), that he and the hole country is ready and willing to get independant again.

@ToshInMacc
Yes. Because the French word for a web meeting is visioconférence.

I had a 70+ meeting on Visio yesterday, all was fine, not a single person complained about camera, sound, etc.

"Guys we have a new open source solution to avoid using US solutions !"

"Awesome, which platform should we host the code on? Gitlab ? @Codeberg ?"

"Github 💀 !"

Someone with a quarter century research experience in industrial computing and electronics confirms that LibreOffice is still unusable in practice. This applies to technical & scientific report writing as well as office work.

Not only are new employees unfamiliar with it, but also design faults in the specifications are known & discussed on bug reporting platforms. I won't try to list them, but a review is urgently needed with assessment of possible outside 'interference'.

Must not forget the VBA ecosystem coupled to Excel, which allowed me to get work done during the 2 or 3 years it took for corporate IT to refuse my development submissions.
