There's lots of talk of the need to wrench Europe out of its dependence on US software & digital services/products.
In Schleswig-Holstein the local government has got on with it; over the last two years they've migrated a range of digital functions to free & open source alternatives
No-one is saying its easy, but equally as this small German state is proving, it is certainly possible!
My guess is a lot of public sector IT mangers are watching very closely!
