  • I got fired for reading the newspaper during my lunch break. Once a week this newspaper came with a for hire section that also included career advice and al that stuff. I was reading that part but the CEO called me into his office to tell me off. I called his bluff and he fired me.

    I was scheduled to lead a team in China for a few weeks and after that had to go to the US for some other job. Sadly people that are fired can’t work off premises anymore so the staff manager begged me to accept their withdrawal of my discharge.

    I kindly declined and got payed out a years’ wage. Took the time to reorientate into less toxic work environment. I now work with politicians, don’t know what happened there.

Those experiments have led to a broader understanding and in the meantime they funded the greater project that became OpenDesk.

    This year they joined forced with the French government where the were doing the same sort of project with La Suite. The French and the German team joined in a 100 day sprint to deliver somewhere around September.


  • And I forgot to mention that the French government is on board as well.

    They on their side are launching La Suite which is based on the same building block as OpenDesk.

    Some figures for those wondering how broadly adapted this open source suite is.
