Proof of Concept
The EU OS projects develops a proof of concept (PoC) to explain IT decision makers and the open source community better the vision of the project. The proof of concept also helps determining rough edges and missing pieces and brings them to the attention of the upstream projects, so that they can be addressed early on.
As of now, EU OS does not benefit from funding and the PoC is a pure community effort. The work happens continously on the EU OS Gitlab, in the Matrix channel #eu-os-dev:kde.org and at some face-to-face meetings/hackathons:
- Hack Days June 2025 in Paris, see also DINUM press release (French only). Details: #31
Aspects of the PoC
For the Proof of Concept, EU OS explores and developes specific areas to address the requirements laid down on the Spec page. Note that the focus is on reuse of existing software and original software development is avoided as much as possible.
- Container Image Management
- Provisioning of EU OS
- Fleet Management
- User Management
- Legacy Applications (use Windows apps on an EU OS computer)
