  Apparently a rebranded LiveKit, which is developed by an US American company…

    No, Visio is based on BigBlueButton, and it is to interface with Tchap, which is an internal Matrix server for France’s gov agents.

  No mention of Capgemini on the announcement, there’s a chance this will actually ship!

  Hope it’s public code if it’s paid with public money! Replacing it with proprietary software would be leaving one abusive relationship straight into another.

    It is. Currently their code is published under an Apache 2.0 license. There’s links to it on the website, but the whole suite is on Github. It would be nice to see them migrate that codebase elsewhere down the line though

  Can’t they invest in standardized SIP solutions? Linphone is already French.

    SIP is a nightmare protocol for firewalls. Time to retire it.

      It could be improve. SMB3 is far better for firewalling than SMB1/2.

      A standard audio/video call protocol is great to have and SIP is everywhere already. Already supports video though this isn’t as widely used.

      It could be iterated.

  Note, as far as I can tell from thos announcement, this does not cover all French public officials. There are 3 groups of them in France, state, local and health. This is specifically about state administration.

  Local administrations could follow national recommendations, but it would ultimately be in the hands of locally elected representatives.

    Well sure they don’t have to, but this makes it much easier to adopt.

  Isn’t Visio tradermarked?

  • ivn@jlai.lu ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It’s a French common name for this.
