Munich Votes for Linux Migration Plan

[1]JoScherl writes "The German news site Heise [2]reports
(German, [3]Babelfish version) that the city council of
Munich (3rd biggest city in Germany, 1.3 million inhabitants)
has voted for the detailed concept of the [4]LiMux - Linux
for Munich (German, [5]Babelfish version) project with votes
from all parties except the CSU (Christlich Soziale Union,
christion social union). With this decision the 13,000
Desktops and Servers of the city administration will be
migrated to Linux. CSU, which has just won the European
elections, said they won't support Linux since its
Feierabendprogrammierer ('leisure-time coders') would destroy
Munich's IT-landscape (Microsoft Germany and other big
companies are located in and around Munich) and they also
fear that the personnel would have problems with learning how
to use OpenOffice and other migrated systems. The migration
plan has the following steps: This year the Windows NT
desktops get OpenOffice and Mozilla as their default office
and browsing suite. In 2005 and 2006 the systems will be
migrated to Linux, with some applications running on Windows
application servers. In 2008 all applications should run
native on Linux."
