Surprised how little fuss has been made about these two articles... (oh wait, I forgot who most tech magazines depend on for most of their advertising revenue): https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-poses-threat-to-germanys-digital-sovereignty-warns-study/

And remember Munich? The Bavarian city that switched to Linux more than a decade back? And then famously - with much more fanfare (again, wonder why) - switched back to Windows? Well... they've quietly gone back to again... The full saga: https://www.zdnet.com/article/linux-not-windows-why-munich-is-shifting-back-from-microsoft-to-open-source-again/

Why, oh why, does the NZ gov't continuously get bamboozled into making shitty web-based systems that are 100% dependent on proprietary Microsoft technologies? Yes, 'new' DOC booking system, I'm looking 🤔 at you.

It'll perform poorly, cost a bomb, scale ungracefully, and be very expensive to maintain... until Microsoft suddenly end-of-lifes the technologies on which it depends. At which point the taxpayer will bail you out (again).

Gov't decision-makers, some guidance: https://davelane.nz/procurement

@carl_klitscher @puck @stephen and, crazily, there're even excellent full options - like the one built into BigBlueButton (about to be replaced by a better one, https://www.tldraw.com/) even designed for schools.

lightweight,

@puck @carl_klitscher @stephen yup. I actually reckon it's absurd that our gov't is buying any proprietary software. The EU, though very slow to change its ways, has started - have you all seen this? https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/study-about-impact-open-source-software-and-hardware-technological-independence-competitiveness-and It suggests that the EU is decades behind North America in IT... mostly because it hasn't fostered / development.
