French government to move to Linux

Hey,

Not sure if you guys saw the news (link in french)][1]

But the french government is trying to move all government departments
from windows to linux with 80k employees from the national health
insurance fund already moved over. They set a deadline for fall of this
year for each department to have a migration plan.

Really interesting stuff, especially with the "LaSuite numerique" they
been developing to replace office365 and google docs. [2]

Would love to seen something similar happen in Canada. That way more of
our tax dollars could support open source software and ideally
Canadians working on that open source software instead of sending out
money to big tech in the US.

Thanks,
Lucas
