Robert Riemann
Robert Riemann studied physics and informatics. Since 2017, he works for the EU in Brussels on technology policy and digital transformation. Witnessing the discussions on digital sovereignty from inside EU and member state administrations, he decided end of 2024 to develop in his personal capacity a vision of a common Linux-based OS for the public sector and other corporate use cases.
Session
The EU OS project pools on one side existing case studies on Linux for desktop computers in the public sector. On the other side, it proposes a realistic concept on how the public sector in the EU could switch from Microsoft Windows to a common Linux OS within rather months than years to gain more digital sovereignty. In this talk, project lead Robert Riemann gives a status update, calls for action and answers your questions.
