Limux: Munich Has Reached 10000 PCs Migrated

Published by Robert Pogson February 27th, 2012 in technology. 1 Comment

As of 2012-2-23, the city of Munich has converted 10000 of its PCs to GNU/Linux and almost all of its 15000 PCs to OpenOffice.org 3.2.1, ODF standard and a Wiki distributing a complete set of templates for all their offices. They no longer have random applications scattered throughout the organization but have most applications centrally managed with many web applications amongst them. Where they used to have 900 macros they now have 100. By the end of 2012 they expect to have the migration finished.

Really this is going to fun all those people who said it would fail. Completion is going to be a useful tool.

My Mission

My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.

My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.

I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.
