It doesn't seem like it, but can someone shed any light on whether La Suite Numerique ( https://lasuite.numerique.gouv.fr/en ) and the Territoire Numérique Ouvert are related?
Don't forget, "open source" is not enough: we need _lean_ open source and I do include the SDK (then programing language). That for software/protocol/file formats (and hardware programing interfaces...). It is much easier to say than done, and when you read that, often it is to apply pressure on microsoft pricing only without a real intent to start to "digitally assume themselves".

I agree with you that the PDF format is insane (I have had my head buried in the spec for the last month) but it has won in the marketplace. It's unlikely anything can supersede it now. Microsoft had a technically strong alternative but it was far too late.

Who is going to audit these open source projects?
Well open-source projects are free. Why pay for editing Software while you can get it for free in 2025 ??
