If it is Israel it’s the same picture
Nice, replace Microslop Windows too pls.
The gendarmerie has had its own Linux distribution for a while now but that's about it.

This is only a part of france's "LaSuite" (very original name guys), that seemingly will replace every equivalent american service.
https://lasuite.numerique.gouv.fr/
They generally work pretty well (demo on the site) and are a mix of homegrown solutions and rebrands of existing projects like matrix. All of them are open source.

I still don’t understand why half of the US still support a president that is doing a long term damage

Lol, replacing one o365 product with one named identically to another o365 product, classic.

Why not jitsi meet? Isn't better to use an already "established" opensource conferencing tool?
They could just selfhost their instance.
They've been building an entire open source suite of software tailored to their needs. If I had to guess, Jitsi isn't performant enough for large (100+) user meetings in a way they can scale easily. It's a great tool, but it seems better geared towards smaller loads. Video conferencing at scale is a pretty big challenge.
Between this, their new Docs platform and some Matrix-based chat platforms, I think this is something they've put a fair bit of thought into how they want to build. Overall, it's a cool initiative, but I think it's pretty clear that it's open source as a means to be transparent as a government organization rather than to form a platform for broad use by everyone. They do have some self-hosting instructions on their GitHub though.

Jitsi is owned by a Campbell, California based firm called 8x8. Source: I worked for them during the acquisition.
Though admittedly avoiding US origin open source is unlikely to be possible. The thing they are using seems to be based on another package with a similar issue.

Visio and W....
They need to open up naming to public vote.

The French use "Visio" kinda like a generic term to talk about a video call (short for visio-conférence), I find that much better already than that W nonsense.

No mention of Capgemini on the announcement, there's a chance this will actually ship!
Who tells them that "Visio" is already a trademark?
Trademarks don't matter when it's only for internal use.

That's great. I wish Visio/Vizio were not such common names for software and hardware. We done did those already. Do something else.
