Japanese local governments, let alone the central one, still have almost zero knowledge about the value of maintaining infrastructure which they should have full control. Virtually even discourses about it do not exist yet. Huge difference between the European governments.
The beauty of that is that knowledge can be transferred :) But i suppose they have to be willing first.
Unless the governments would change radically how they see FOSS from a way of reducing money cost…
Right? They’re still using floppy disks and fax machines.
Fax machines are one of the main ways of communications there. I guess floppy disks are indeed partly used at municipal offices yet.
Oh, very much so. There was a big news story about two years ago where a police officer lost a floppy disk that had a bunch of people’s personal information on it.
