The French city of #Lyon will also be replacing Microsoft for #opensource solutions. Really curious what #Linux distro they will choose 👀

Also featured; #Jitsi for video conferencing, #Nextcloud paired with #OnlyOffice for document sharing and co-editing, #Zimbra for email, #Chamilo for online training, and #Matrix for instant messaging. 🔥

@Gina I believe the French Gendarmerie has been running on Linux for about a decade now?

Not sure which distro they’re using. But this must have helped to build a network of companies who can implement and support major roll-outs like this.

The French have it right: they’re looking at Free Software as something that can help drive the local economy.
