They started out with sort of a 'fail forward' approach where as German entities were encouraged to try and implement different types of open source software of OS'es. Those experiments have led to a broader understanding and in the meantime they funded the greater project that became OpenDesk.
This year they joined forced with the French government where the were doing the same sort of project with La Suite. The French and the German team joined in a 100 day sprint to deliver somewhere around September.
Oh, that sounds nice! I think it would be very smart of Europe to build their own (open-source) infrastructure just in case someone not reliable were to become US president ... Can't hurt to start preparing (better far to late than never ...)
