The petition is open to all EU resident. The goal is to replace all Windows in all public institution in Europe with a sovereign GNU/Linux.

If the petition is successful it would be a huge step forward for GNU/Linux adoption.

Funny enough, I'm working in IT in government exclusively with Linux for the past 20 years, which shows that indeed it's possible.

There are a few reasons I don't believe a petition like this will change a thing though
