SUSE exec blurts that the company uses Teams (www.theregister.com)

SUSE recommends that companies should run on FOSS – but an accidental revelation from a company exec, live on stage, reveals it doesn't practice what it preaches. It's not alone.

For this vulture, the single most amusing revelation from any of the industry speakers at this year's Open Source Policy Summit was from SUSE's Dominic Laurie, who moderated the final panel discussion of the day, "Sovereignty and Procurement."

The panel ended a few minutes before the scheduled time, and he closed it with a surprising comment:

We'll give you three minutes back, as they say on Teams meetings!

I have had calls with SUSE sales reps because I'm in the enterprise space, can confirm they use Google meet and Google workspace in general. Still not FOSS, but not Microsoft.

I've had calls with them on Zoom as well. They kind of just use whatever the customer wants to use imho.

Obviously most companies will join whatever meeting invite they get sent but all the meetings they've created with me are via meet (we normally use teams)
