I get the pointthat some might consider this spamming marketing bs, but in the same time I'd like to underline some aspects: - a lot of us are currently speaking about EU alternatives and OSS - a lot of the discussions are very general and not talking about the actual existing tools - we expect open source to be free to access and use but maintained and developed at the same standards as proprietary tools with (unlimited, by comparison) budgets - if someone talks about alternatives, promoting a webinar or a resource, they are flagged for it (as in my case) For full disclosure: Yes, I do work at XWiki and we do create webinars on a regular basis to educate people and promote our latest developments, updates, and improvements. If someone finds the information useful, they can join the free webinar, ask questions, find out more about our work. If someone wants to support us, they can share the link to a friend or a colleague which might use the information. If someone finds this irrelevant, they can just pass by and keep scrolling to something that appeals their interest.
