1 year ago, EU OS put out an architecture for a common Desktop Linux for the public sector. Since then, EU OS had many closed-room conversations with public servants from several member states and with various open source communities. EU OS also published a how-to for a DIY Proof-of-Concept (PoC). This talk explains briefly the vision and PoC of EU OS, gives a summary of the feedback received so far and formulates the public sector expectations on the underlying Linux distribution.
