1. I think many public sector organizations in Europe lack basic knowledge of FOSS and have IT managers that don't even know what it is.

2. In many ways it is surprising that generic software like cloud office functionality in reality only have two suppliers, both from the US, in the public sector. The amount of money that is being paid by tax payers every year for that across the EU is staggering.

Maybe the Schrems 2 court decision will change #2 eventually but for the time being I see very few alternatives.
