AI Summary

Switzerland’s Federal Chancellery is preparing to provide a free‑and‑open‑source (FOSS) workplace suite to about 3,000 selected government employees, to run alongside the existing Microsoft 365 deployment. The move is part of a broader push for digital sovereignty, and the Swiss Armed Forces are advancing the transition even more rapidly. The initiative reflects growing European interest in reducing reliance on proprietary cloud services.
