  • Open Source Won the Server. Can It Win the Desk? Ex-SUSE CTO shares his new plan

    Open source won the server. It won the phone in your pocket. But it still hasn’t won the workplace: the documents, the spreadsheets, the slides.

    Gerald Pfeifer has spent decades on the infrastructure side of that story. He has contributed to the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) for 29 years and has sat on its steering committee since 1999. Most recently he was CTO at SUSE and chair of the openSUSE Board. This summer he left to go after the desk, creating Open Productivity. It’s a new joint venture of six of the companies behind openDesk, offering a secure, sovereign, open-source alternative to Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.

    We discuss:

    – Why Linux and Kubernetes won by being better, not just by being open
    – Why there’s no such thing as “the open source community”, and what there is instead
    – How companies can engage with open-source projects without burning up on re-entry
    – Why Gerald brought in Collabora rather than building in-house at SUSE
    – How the shift to the browser changes the game for the desktop
    – Resilience, vendor lock-in, and the only kind of lock-in Gerald likes
    – Why he rates Collabora Online’s presentation editor well ahead of Microsoft 365 and Google Slides

    Recorded shortly before Open Productivity’s launch. The website is now live: https://open-productivity.eu/en/home/

  • What If Big Tech Cuts You Off? Amnesty International Spain on Digital Sovereignty

    For Amnesty International Spain, digital sovereignty isn't simply about procurement, compliance or where your servers happen to be. It's about being able to keep working — whatever happens.

    In this episode of Open Matters, Richard Brock speaks with Carlos Lopez Belenguer, IT Manager for Infrastructure at Amnesty International Spain, about why the organisation has spent more than a decade pursuing technological independence.

    Carlos explains how Amnesty International Spain combines self-hosted infrastructure, open-source software and online services to support staff and thousands of activists — and why retaining control of its data and tools matters so much to an organisation that regularly challenges governments, companies and other powerful institutions.

    We discuss what digital sovereignty actually means in practice; why open formats, portability and an exit plan matter; Amnesty International Spain's long history with Collabora Online; and why organisations should still pay for professional support even when the software itself is open source. Carlos also shares what happened when one open-source supplier increased its price fivefold — and why being able to keep running the software gave Amnesty time to find an alternative.

  • What Happens to Your SharePoint Documents After 2026?

    Microsoft ends support for Office Online Server on 31 December 2026. After that date, in-browser editing of documents stored in on-premise SharePoint is no longer supported — and the usual advice is to move everything into Microsoft's cloud.

    For organisations that keep documents on their own infrastructure — public sector, healthcare, finance, defence — that isn't an option.

    Collabora Online is an open-source, self-hosted collaborative office suite built on LibreOffice technology. It runs on your servers, in your network, and integrates with your existing document storage — so documents never leave your infrastructure.
