It's odd that they want to go with the American based Fedora instead of the German based openSUSE. Only thing I can figure is that this is yet another case of European Tech infighting?
The Register should get ahold of Robert Riemann and ask them.
Or just license SUSE Linux and you get all the professional support you need. I don't understand why they'd want to roll their own thing when a European solution that ticks all the boxes exists.
Licensing SUSE would cost money and this guy wouldn't end up in charge of it. If I was SUSE I'd run around offering EU Government entities, and I mean all of them right down to a town council, seriously steep discounts on licensing and simultaneously create an entire team tasked with supporting new government users.
Hell if there were any European Venture Capitalists they should be lining up around the block to invest in SUSE doing just that. Investing 10 Billion in SUSE to do that now could return 100 Billion or more in just a decade.
