Half of employees are supposed to be changing to LibreOffice and Linux within the next month or so, and by the fall, all staff of the Ministry should be rid of Microsoft.

@benjaoming Yes it's great news! And it should motivate everyone in the free and open-source software community to get organized and have alternatives ready if or when the momentum comes. How to replace #Teams for example?

I thought I'd see more news today about digmin.dk's imminent migration away from Microsoft. The ministry itself has published a completely different press release today... about AI
It seems like they prefer to do this discreetly, they have been asked about it for months and not put out any clear positions. It's also quite common to have a press release in the drawer to distract from another matter.Anyone found more articles?

@malte depends a lot on if you want to replace the video meetings or the chat stuff from teams. Jitsi is fantastic for video meetings but not much to look at in the chat department

@benjaoming@tykling I think there are probably good alternatives for each of the features in Teams. Matrix comes to mind for chat. And there's video for Matrix too. What I wonder is whether there's a full package like Teams that ties all those open source tech solutions together. I suppose France and Germany developed their own versions? I think they've gone further @benjaoming

@Ruth_Mottram I'm a regular user of jitsi. But what about all the other functions of Teams? At our school we use it for group rooms, chat, sharing files etc. @benjaoming

@benjaoming I hope for them that they don't have old legacy systems that cant even cope with Win11 - and absolutely not with Linux.
