    The university I work at was full Foss until 3 years ago. I liked that plus it is literally called “université libre”.

    Last week they forced the last of us from their email to outlook.

    It was cheaper to go full Micro$hit than to scale the email service.

    Owncloud is still running but good luck getting someone to use it when they have that sweet sweet onedrive integration …

    You need leadership that understand the long term impact of those issues over the yearly bill.

        thanks for the link I’ve bookmarked it. I’m fine tho :) They haven’t disabled IMAP/STMP and I found a plugin to parse those annoying “safelink”
