    It’s not a random company. OpenDesk is produced (maintained? Developed? Packaged?) by ZenDiS. ZenDiS is a company that belongs 100% to the german government. It’s not a ministry, but a company. Kind of like the german railways (DB).

      perfect! as we see government work harder and closer with companies to kill innocent people for profit, target activist, and any moment can switch from democracy to dictatorship, we can have some comfort on them handling systems of the “ICC”

        It’s still an open source project. I don’t know if an independant company would be better, but imo it’s a great first step to see that the german government is investing in digital sovereignty. That may not make the ICC sovereign, but on the other hand, would it make sense for every country to have their own stack?
