    So far it’s just a plan to come up with a plan for this winter. It’s not like the French government is ready to switch all the workstations this year.

    But, things have been going on the right direction for a while.

    Great to see, the more big institutions do this, the easier it becomes for others to follow.

        This is going to come as a shock to you, but I don’t speak French.

        Unforgivable, I know. :)

    A lot of doom and gloom posting on this topic but I feel like it’s a step in the right direction even though for now it’s just a plan. I wish my country would follow.
