France, Germany and The Netherlands are co-developing an open source suite of collaborative components for their government employees. La suite numérique is the French version, Opendesk is the German, and Mijn Bureau is the Dutch. I find that pretty amazing and I wouldn't have hoped for anything better!

    They really should GPL it all. The US will steal it and create AWS services

    “Europe is the American tech sector’s biggest market after the United States itself. It all depends on trust. Trust requires dialogue,” Smith said.

    Trust has been destroyed from the top. Trust is easy to loose and hard to gain

    Until they cancel the French government contract with Palentir , this is a show of Fake digital sovereignty

    It says they're switching to "Visio", but when I search that, I only get a "microsoft visio" product.

    "Visio" is their internally developed video conferencing platform. It's part of their "La Suite Numerique" suite of software, most of which is open source in large capacity

    Ok, “La Suite Numerique” turns up the result:

    I was able to translate the main site with Firefox, but the docs aren't translating. They have a language selection in the top right, but it doesn't work. I guess it's very focused on the French audience only for now.

    I wouldn't expect that to change. Their primary intention is in building out a suite of tools for use within their own government institutions, rather than a wider audience. If you're interested in self hosting though, the Github documentation is pretty much all in English

    Some idiot really not only named that the same as an existing product but a well known Microsoft one?

    Do you stop using !meta@sopuli.xyz due to Meta the company?

    The word meta predates the company rebrand by decades (first known use 1988). The company is named after the word.

    Visio is a totally different situation.

    Trump just signed an Executive Order saying that France wasn’t allowed to do this.

    The sad thing is, you don’t know if that’s true or if I just made that up.

    I see there are various instances being developed. I personally think Mosa.cloud looks very promising.
