We need this on a federal and EU level as well as for critical infrastructure and the military.

I hope some money saved on the licenses get invested in the development of OSS products.

Munich did the same thing.
But then Bill Gates paid us a visit, for some reason we backpaddled on that and all of a sudden a Microsoft Office (not the software) appeared.
Crazy how that works. Please don’t let yourself get bribed like we did.

I hope more governments, governmental organizations and municipalities follow this example and share their knowledge and improvements back so that we in Europe can Microsoft independently within some years.
One thing is for sure, we cannot trust America anymore and should not rely on their technology as much as we can.

Schleswig Holstein is doing what a lot of governments talk about but never actually commit to. Switching to open source is not just about saving money, it is about taking control of your own tech stack instead of renting it from Microsoft forever.

They need dedicated budget to contribute to the upstream of the software they use. That’s the only sustainable model.
The more serious work is done by open source software the easier they’ll be to use

In a couple years they will move to the cloud, pay 3 times as much to an internet giant and will frame it as a victory!
