One State's Quest For Digital Sovereignty

 The news is that the German State is moving 30,000 PCs to LibreOffice. Why is this of significance?

That's not the first attempt of the German State to break free of vendors by adopting open source software. We've recently witnessed another attempt in "Is The German State In Love With OSS?" in which the State adopted openDesk, the open source alternative to Microsoft's and Google's office applications.

Greenplum's Cloudberry Fork Enters Apache Incubator

  Cloudberry is the open source equivalent of Greenplum. Now it is fostered by the Apache Foundation as it acquires incubating status. It all began about six months ago. Greenplum's Github repositories was archived and went dark. This meant no more free new releases or security and bug fixes for its users. Why? Because in May 2024, Tanzu made the decision to close-source the project. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/84-database/17694-greenplums-cloudberry-fork-enters-apache-incubator-.html
