This is very welcome!
Not much a friend of (over)regulation but history shows what can happen if a city (munich in 2003-2013) invests into foss to have theyr public administration under own control, but does this on voluntary idealistic basis or to reduce licensing costs.

Some years later a "M$ advocat" (bribed??) gets elected as major, complains his staff can not do "vital" stuff on work computers and mobile phones that they are used to from home computing o.O
This is the only raised argument to roll back an highly advanced and specialised foss system to replace it with windows again in the coming years as far as i am informed.

Some munich citizens here with more insight to that matter?

EDIT, Haha actually reading the linked wikipedia article again after long time held awesome news, maybe the project will prevail after all :D
