The French government is sending a message about digital independence by ditching Microsoft Teams and Zoom for its own platform, Visio. This move is not about a lack of features but a calculated push for digital sovereignty. By 2027, every government department in France will communicate via this sovereign stack, ensuring that sensitive data remains subject to European law. The shift addresses a growing concern that relying on foreign cloud giants creates a strategic vulnerability. France is opting for an open-source architecture built on Django and React, hosted on the domestic Outscale cloud. This infrastructure removes the risk of external service disruptions while fostering a local tech ecosystem.🧠 The Visio platform integrates with Tchap, a secure messaging app based on the Matrix protocol.
French startup Pyannote provides the AI backbone for meeting transcripts and speaker identification.
The administration expects to save millions in annual licensing fees by using in-house software.
Data remains strictly within French jurisdiction to bypass foreign data access laws.https://itsfoss.com/news/france-ditches-microsoft-teams-and-zoom/

#France #TechHistory #DigitalSovereignty #OpenSource #security #privacy #cloud #infosec #cybersecurity #FOSSIntéressant. Au-delà de la souveraineté, cette démarche rejoint aussi des enjeux de sobriété numérique.
Centraliser l'infrastructure sur un cloud domestique, c'est potentiellement réduire les redondances et optimiser les ressources. Mais ça reste à vérifier : open-source ne signifie pas automatiquement sobre.
La vraie question : cette infrastructure sera-t-elle dimensionnée au juste besoin ou reproduira-t-elle la logique de surcapacité des clouds US ?

#France #TechHistory #DigitalSovereignty #OpenSource #security #privacy #cloud #infosec #cybersecurity #FOSS@brian_greenberg savings millions while investing in your local tech ecosystem? Sounds like a pretty good deal.

@brian_greenberg that’s great, but don’t MS already have a product called Visio - which if a deliberate decision by the french, makes this even better.
@brian_greenberg @Paperposts no, Ms Visio was rebranded Copilot for Shapes in January
Anyway good work by the French Govt when the UK establishment cannot even contemplate leaving twitter.

The thing is open source, and the github repository calls it LaSuite Meet in the README.
GitHub - suitenumerique/meet: Open source video conferencing app powered by LiveKit.
Open source video conferencing app powered by LiveKit. - suitenumerique/meet
GitHub (github.com)
However, in the code itself, the application appears to have been called Visio for months.
The French apparently haven't yet cottoned on that they still have a significant unreliable external dependency by hosting everything on Microsoft GitHub.

Las empresas estadounidenses solo sirven a Estados Unidos y a sus ciudadanos, no al resto del planeta.
No somos el patio trasero de nadie, y mucho menos de Estados Unidos. -
