EU-Linux
Petition Nr. 0729/2024

Der Petent fordert die Europäische Union auf, ein auf Linux basierendes Betriebssystem namens „EU-Linux“ aktiv zu entwickeln und es in den öffentlichen Verwaltungen aller EU-Mitgliedstaaten einzuführen. Ziel dieser Initiative sei es, die Abhängigkeit von Microsoft-Produkten zu verringern, die Einhaltung der Datenschutz-Grundverordnung (DSGVO) sicherzustellen und die Transparenz, die Nachhaltigkeit und die digitale Souveränität in der EU zu fördern. Der Petent erachtet es als wichtig, quelloffene Alternativen zu Microsoft 365 wie LibreOffice und Nextcloud zu nutzen, und schlägt die Einführung des mobilen E/OS-Betriebssystems für staatliche Geräte vor. Außerdem hebt er das durch diese Initiative entstehende Potenzial für die Schaffung von Arbeitsplätzen im IT-Sektor hervor. — https://www.europarl.europa.eu/petitions/de/petition/content/0729%252F2024/html/Petition-No-0729%252F2024-by-N.-W.-%2528Austrian%2529-on-the-implementation-of-an-EU-Linux-operating-system-in-public-administrations-across-all-EU-countries

EU-Linux

The petitioner calls for the European Union to actively develop and implement a Linux-based operating system, termed ‘EU-Linux’, across public administrations in all EU Member States. This initiative aims to reduce dependency on Microsoft products, ensuring compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and promoting transparency, sustainability, and digital sovereignty within the EU. The petitioner emphasizes the importance of using open-source alternatives to Microsoft 365, such as LibreOffice and Nextcloud, and suggests the adoption of the E/OS mobile operating system for government devices. The petitioner also highlights the potential for job creation in the IT sector through this initiative. — https://www.europarl.europa.eu/petitions/en/petition/content/0729%252F2024/html/Petition-No-0729%252F2024-by-N.-W.-%2528Austrian%2529-on-the-implementation-of-an-EU-Linux-operating-system-in-public-administrations-across-all-EU-countries#petitioner-data

GNU Guix: Take the Guix User and Contributor Survey

To understand the views of the Guix community we're running a survey that we'd love you to take part in! The Guix User and Contributor Survey is live now, and should take about 10 minutes to fill out. Perfect for doing with a cup of tea and a biscuit!

The Guix project continues to grow and change, with new contributors and users joining our community. We decided to run this survey as it's the best way to gather good quality feedback across the widest cross-section of the community. Of course, there's lots of interesting topics a survey could ask about! We decided to focus on how Guix is used, and how contributors take part in the project.

The survey is being run on LimeSurvey which is a Free Software project and has been used by many other projects for similar surveys. The survey's hosted on the LimeSurvey SaaS so that we don't have the additional task of operating the software. No personal data is asked for (e.g. email addresses), no tracking data is being collected (e.g. IP addresses) and the entries are anonymised.

We'll be making the results and the anonymised data available under the Creative Commons CCO: that way anyone can analyse the data for further insights.

We hope the results of the survey will be used to understand both the Guix project's strengths and areas we can improve. Which is why your input is so important. If you can, please take the survey!

Take the survey now!
