GobLin: el Sistema Operativo GNU/Linux para los Gobiernos

Abstract

Public administration must be at the forefront of innovation and technological paradigms. In the Direction of Management Modernization and Electronic Government of the Province of Misiones, we created a distribution of the GNU/Linux operating system, specially designed for public administration offices. The objective of this project is to provide an "all-in-one" solution, containing all the applications that a government office may need, without unnecessary programs. This makes it easier for IT administrators and users to install and maintain the IT infrastructure. This distribution was built by redesigning the integration of the components of a robust and mature operating system, resistant to failures and widely used in Internet servers, which guarantees the stability of execution of the systems. It is also a secure environment that does not include telemetry or data collection that leaks user information to the servers of technology companies, thus ensuring the security, confidentiality of data and user actions. Built with free software, it includes the latest versions of office applications. The result of our work is a robust distribution of the GNU/Linux operating system where the programs that integrate it will never be obsolete since they will always be updated with the latest versions available, eliminating the unnecessary expense of repurchasing licenses for future software updates. Any interested party can copy, distribute and modify it.
