The petition is open to all EU resident. The goal is to replace all Windows in all public institution in Europe with a sovereign GNU/Linux.

If the petition is successful it would be a huge step forward for GNU/Linux adoption.

We could say that about every single general decision that anyone in the world has ever made. It’s a truism which tells us almost nothing about this situation.

IT professionals only get a say when the C-suite accepts that IT is a necessity, not a burden. This is extremely uncommon.

Working in enterprise IT sucks. I’ve had jobs where we had to have CFO approval to buy a bag of zipties (the request was denied, BTW)
