I’m glad they finally had an easy to understand example of why depending on a closed source ecosystem from a foreign country is insane for any kind of public authority.
For anyone wondering: openDesk, the solution they’re using, wasn’t developed from the ground up. It contains standard open source tools like Nextcloud, Matrix and Collabora.
They’d be doing an enterprise install but here’s the gitlab readme for the open desk community edition and with links for a Kubernetes installation:

That’s like requesting 1 happiness or 11 lovely.
