Switching to #opensource is the best thing you can gift your organization, your colleagues, your users, and us, the citizens.
This is a hard work, but necessary work. You're not just migrating software - you're building democracy and freedom for future generations.
In case you would like to learn more about leading change from closed source to #FOSS, I shared my best practices recently with the audience at #fosdem https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/7YMJST-how-to-lead-change-to-open-source/

@RosannaSibora having tried to persuade university staff towards plain text/markdown source material to generate PDF, web-based presentations, etc. and encourage them away from (mainly) Word and Powerpoint defaults, that lock-in is very hard to break, but a few took on. I even had the research paid for by the university! One issue was the "need" to spend budgets, and the MS hardware hegemony and an OS that spends a lot of time locking you in to all its other "default" software.
