Look, Munich: city of Barcelona kicks out Micro$oft in favor of Linux and open source.
The Linux distro to be used may be Ubuntu as the City is already running a pilot project of 1000 Ubuntu-based desktops.
Outlook mail client and Exchange Server will be replaced with Open-Xchange meanwhile Firefox and LibreOffice will take the place of Internet Explorer and M$ Office.

@Linux Wait a couple of years, the party at the government of the city will change and they'll go back to Microsoft.
It's not the first time I see something like that here in spain.
I'm happy but I don't expect it to be a real change.
@ekaitz_zarraga @Linux Fun fact: In Munich the party at government *didn't* change and nevertheless they went back. m(
@tuxedocomputers @ekaitz_zarraga @Linux Personnel, however, changed AFAIU.
@dredmorbius @ekaitz_zarraga @Linux Yes, new Major which has "personal preferences". *cough*
@tuxedocomputers @ekaitz_zarraga @dredmorbius IIRC, there was also "a very neutral" Accenture which investigated the IT situation in Munich... Concluding that best for the city would be to switch back to M$ products immediately..
