  • I work in a setting where everybody gets the same wage based on their job level and experience. I assume that out office staff has parity between the genders.

    The blue collar part of the company is 99% men.

  • I got fired for reading the newspaper during my lunch break. Once a week this newspaper came with a for hire section that also included career advice and al that stuff. I was reading that part but the CEO called me into his office to tell me off. I called his bluff and he fired me.

    I was scheduled to lead a team in China for a few weeks and after that had to go to the US for some other job. Sadly people that are fired can't work off premises anymore so the staff manager begged me to accept their withdrawal of my discharge.

    I kindly declined and got payed out a years' wage. Took the time to reorientate into less toxic work environment. I now work with politicians, don't know what happened there.

  • Need more reasons to stop eating ultra-processed food? How about 32 of them? That's the number of health problems noted in the largest-ever review of studies about the dangers of diets high in ultra-processed foods. The findings, published online Feb. 28, 2024, by The BMJ, come from a review of 45 analyses published in the last three years, involving about 10 million people in total.

  • Cooking your own meals with unprocessed ingredients is one of the basic parts of a healthy diet.

    If you practice a bit cooking a home made meal can be done in less than 30 minutes. If times a issue I have some 20 minute recipes.

    I make sure to have a basic stock of ingredients like pasta, flour, some vegetable stock cubes, some assorted spices, onions, fresh garlic,...

  • They started out with sort of a 'fail forward' approach where as German entities were encouraged to try and implement different types of open source software of OS'es. Those experiments have led to a broader understanding and in the meantime they funded the greater project that became OpenDesk.

    This year they joined forced with the French government where the were doing the same sort of project with La Suite. The French and the German team joined in a 100 day sprint to deliver somewhere around September.

  • And I forgot to mention that the French government is on board as well.

    They on their side are launching La Suite which is based on the same building block as OpenDesk.

    Some figures for those wondering how broadly adapted this open source suite is.

    • Tchap: the trusted instant messaging service for the public sector used daily by 200,000 users. An extension of the Albert AI tool is planned for Tchap soon, during the summer.
    • State audio conference with nearly 8,000 users for 700 weekly meetings (2024 figure as of mid-May).
    • State web conference with 47,000 users for 10,000 weekly meetings (2024 figure as of mid-May).
    • State webinar: the webinar service which can accommodate up to 350 participants, public officials and interlocutors from outside the State (from the public, private or associative sectors) has recorded more than 800,000 users for 65,000 meetings weekly (2024 figure as of mid-May).
    • France transfer: the simple and secure solution for sending large files with 140,000 users having exchanged more than 350,000 letters (2024 figure as of mid-May).
    • Resana, a public sector collaborative platform with 140,000 users and nearly 800,000 documents shared/month (2024 figure as of mid-May).
  • Sleswich-Holstein is one of the first states to ditch Microsoft.

    You have to know that all of this takes time. They've decided to follow this path in 2022 and were aiming for the first results to appear in 2025.

    Two weeks ago ZenDis launched OpenDesk 1.0. https://www.openproject.org/blog/sovereign-workplace/

  • Are you sure?

    Just about two weeks ago they launched OpenDesk.

    Element chat is integrated in this suite and is allready vastly used by the federal government, the army,...

    I think no government anywhere else has embraced open source as much as Germany does.

    The are building their sovereign cloud and different states, Schools, government departments, hospitals... are joining.

    They've put their money where their mout is by creating a sovereign tech fund.

    They move slowly, as governments do, but they have a goal and a plan. It's not easy to switch and running contracts have to reach the end of their term but when these contracts are over the move will be huge.
