Until they cancel the French government contract with Palentir , this is a show of Fake digital sovereignty
If France actually follows through with Zoom and Teams, it will be a significant step toward digital sovereignty.
Considering moving to France so I never have to use the rotting garbage that is Microsoft Teams every single day
This just applies to the French government, unless you land a public job it’s likely you’d still have to deal with that shit.
Still, it’s good news and lets hope it sets a trend.
Not hope let’s make it a trend everywhere even in the States!
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
