A useful infographic to help businesses understand European tool options.

For individuals, would recommend the community's guide.

To be useful it really needs a legend for all those nameless logos.

ETA: I was too harsh. It's three nameless logos.

Sell it to those who make the decisions.

The "K" logo under "Collaboration Suite" is for Infomaniak kSuite. It's great in my opinion.

Lots of success on that front over the last few months. France, Canada and some other European institutions have started making the switch !

alfaview is one of the worst pieces of software I have ever had to use. And I have to use Teams on a daily basis.

Thanks. Do you know the one on the very top that looks like a stack of papers?

This unsourced infographic seems to assume I use Gmail for video conferencing and not, you know, e-"mail"

Zoho is not US Big Tech, it's Indian.

Wiki

Also, in cloud, you can add Hetzner, which is German and very popular among hobbyists.

Jira, Confluence and Trello are owned by Atlassian - an Australian company.

Fairphone and Jolla phones are the two that are starting to make ground. But still a long way to go before it is on the same level as a flagship Android.

The software itself is horrible though. Fuck Jira

That would also be true if it were European though.

I hope we can also start producing guides of not just EU software, but ethical companies. An EU oligarch or genocide investor is not much better to me than an American one. If we don’t practice discernment then it’s just tribalism.

The guide for this community is exactly that.

Thanks. I don’t see a caution for Spotify - for example - that the CEO invests the profits he earns into military tech. That’s the kind of thing I would want to know before using a service. I imagine it’s difficult to do consistently across companies.

But I’m on mobile at the moment and should really check it out on desktop later. I truly appreciate all the valuable work!
