Session
An overview of the LaSuite project, started by the French state's interministerial directorate (DINUM) and rapidly extending to the public and private sectors. The talk will look at what the LaSuite team is working on today, the project's current direction and its plans for the future.
It will also cover how LaSuite is being built as an open-source ecosystem, how communities and organisations can contribute, and what role they can play in shaping its development. Finally, the talk will look at the longer-term challenges around governance, collaboration and sustainability, and how LaSuite can continue to grow as a shared digital infrastructure for public services.
