Just a simple example my old father who still works even if he shouldn’t. No, what they do is, open recent documents. Because of that submenu, people and especially people who don’t like computers or too old to willingly adapt will never use the explorer to go through their documents nor use the search tool. That’s why a submenu like in Microsoft products but also elsewhere for open recent is always a bad idea and has always been and should be reserved to advanced users. If you don’t explain and most importantly show to people how to use something. The only thing you touch should be the search tool. You shouldn’t use the start menu anymore. The whole point of windows 8 was to make people use the windows search as a reach to all tool. How much people are using the search tool from windows? Nearly none. ![]() Why the Munich system has failed it s because they over complicated things and didn’t teach workers to play correctly with things. Because then for sure it will make people flee. You don’t need to overcomplicate things with 2FA etc. We succeed pretty well to include them in the environment.įor those who have actually tried it and include them they wouldn’t imagine to live without it. The only thing you have to do is to show on a regularly basis how simple it is. The accumulated over the years “brownly” points due to needing a fraction of the expected budget definitely helps…īut, while I can make my bosses use BBB on Nextcloud when having a talk with me, they will never use it between themselves… And this is never going to change (unless I become their boss… )… And my bosses don’t care as along as the job is done. I use lots of open source (in the server room, not desktop).Īnd the primary reason I can do that is - my users don’t have a say. Regardless of the reasoning behind it, this will always weigh on the potential candidate’s decision making… There is also the spectacularly failed attempt by Munich to switch to Linux. That is the best example I know to promote those technologies at the moment… It might have a longer term effect on schools, colleges, universities, for example but that’s not a given… It even includes Nextcloud’s parent - ownCloud. I wrote about this before on this very forum: CERN is dumping most (but not all!) Microsoft technologies and replacing them with open source. The day all those little companies are working together or hire people like me to convince first those little companies to trust each other and to actually work with each other, then to convince institutions to use their all-in-one package, then you will start to notice a big shift.Īnd it won’t happen without that as a miracle in society. The goal is to give diversity and to actually give a viable solution to the mega Corps. The goal is not to become as rich or as big as a Google. It’s the whole lesson of any good user experience expert could give you. And it’s totally fine, but so informations need to come their way not the other way around. And publicity in the whole history of humankind is what has been made known things to people. And by they I’m saying all those open-source solutions or service provider which are for a big part from Europe, could be regroup in a one big solution that would be easy to sell to the institutions.Īnd because it is used by the institutions, then there would be some publicity about it among the workers etc.ĭon’t forget henry that there isn’t publicity at all. They could be used by schools in Belgium, France, Germany, Luxemburg,… By government of those countries, by landers in Germany or by cities etc. They could be subsidized by the European Comission. If they were a little more about “coalition” and a bit less about I’m going to do my thing in my corner, people like me could dedicate all their time, or they could hire some professional lobbyists to actually make a difference in Europe about what we are all using (we as institutions or even average people). Sendent is from netherlands, ovh is french, etc. Because Europe and some countries’ heads are beginning to understand that they need to have their own solutions.įor what I know, nextcloud is German. But they are receiving money from the European fund. ![]() Look at protonmail, are they a super big company? No. Not something open-source and centered about the well being of people. I’d it is the goal then you need to come up with an idea like the next PayPal or something. Yeah sure you won’t be the next Microsoft but I’m sorry to say this if it hurts but it has never been the goal. The market exist and is big enough to sustain or have a company running with it.
