📣 New article in Government Information Quarterly 📣

OPEN ACCESS.

Governments try to adopt new digital technologies.

We therefore validated a Digital Transformation Leadership scale.

Faced with USA technological vendor dependency and the risks this entails, initiatives such as EU OS are beginning to emerge. This is a proof-of-concept operating system based on Fedora (GNU/Linux) for European civil service. @itgespub.bsky.social @albertmeijer.bsky.social

Same here! My favorite director. Loved Twin Peaks but also all his films (except for the straight story).
