Vincent W.J. van Gerven Oei, [on Punctum's transition to open source software throughout its workflows](https://punctumbooks.pubpub.org/pub/transitioning-punctum-books-to-open-source-infrastructure/release/3):
> *Yes*, there are open source solutions out there.
>
> *Yes*, these are similar or even better than the commercial ones you pay subscription fees for.
>
> *Yes*, the transition is possible and awesome.
>
> And most importantly of all: you will have control over your own data. When it comes to the fruits of intellectual labor, nothing appears to me to be more important than that.
The [post](https://punctumbooks.pubpub.org/pub/transitioning-punctum-books-to-open-source-infrastructure/release/3) is six months old, but the whole transition—including OS transition sherpa [Cloud68](https://cloud68.co)—was featured at the [Open Publishing Fest](https://openpublishingfest.org/calendar.html#event-10) last week.
