Linux not Windows: Why Munich is shifting back from Microsoft to open source – again
Munich's flip-flop back to open source is the latest sign of Germany's political sea change over proprietary software.
In a notable U-turn for the city, newly elected politicians in Munich have decided that its administration needs to use open-source software, instead of proprietary products like Microsoft Office.
"Where it is technologically and financially possible, the city will put emphasis on open standards and free open-source licensed software," a new coalition agreement negotiated between the recently elected Green party and the Social Democrats says.
The agreement was finalized Sunday and the parties will be in power until 2026. "We will adhere to the principle of 'public money, public code'. That means that as long as there is no confidential or personal data involved, the source code of the city's software will also be made public," the agreement states.

Elijah J. Magnier 🇪🇺 (@ejmalrai): "The #US consider the #EU as its most dangerous non-military threat. Europe, per US strategy, should always be dependent on the US military, follow a strategy that falls in the US interest and keep away from #Russia and #China even at the cost of Europe's interest." | Nitter | PussTheCat.org – https://nitter.pussthecat.org/ejmalrai/status/1513751600711536642#m
"It is not a war between Russia & #Ukraine. It is a war btwn the US & Russia, with China next on the US list of targets. Ukraine accepted to play the game. The US needs war for its survival as a dominant power & will violently resist any attempt to create a multipolar world."
"When facing a war anywhere in the world, a bird-eye view is needed to understand the dynamics. Ask: cui bono. Those who say: Russia invaded Ukraine have narrow visibility of what is happening in the global picture & what are the real objectives of dragging Russia into a war."
"Russia invaded Ukraine is a cristal clear fact. However, I advise you to return to two main and most important events that marked the world and explain what is happening today: 1. President Vladimir #Putin's speech at #Munich in 2007 2. #NATO response during the 2008 Summit"

This is what the Ukraine battlefield is about."
"According to the art of #propaganda war that the west is mastering in Ukraine, the fall of #Mariupol should not be considered a "victory" for #Donbass separatists or an achievement for Russia. Therefore, expect a false flag very soon. No rules."
