Did I miss any important examples of governments, organizations, or companies who have publicly announced they are moving towards an #OpenSource software platform? Let us know as these stories are a source of inspiration here in Canada.

Almost time for lunch in my corner of the planet, so a final post for today. The transition to #OpenSource in Europe is growing. In addition to examples cited above, the Austrian military and Danish governments have announced plans to go Microsoft-Free, and Munich is looking to restart their efforts after an earlier failed project. It has to be a worrying trend for Microsoft, and all U.S. tech firms, and IMO it soon will be irreversible.

Over the course of today, at a leisurely rate, I think we'll do a roundup of European efforts regarding #DigitalSovereignty and #DigitalIndependance. Europe and Canada have both struggled with this issue, but it's fair to say our allies across the Atlantic have been far more progressive and Digital Sovereignty has far more awareness with citizens and individual governments.
