City of Munich loves LibreOffice
After careful risk-assessment, the capital of Munich has
decided to migrate from OpenOffice to LibreOffice.
In favour of that decision, among others, was the greater
flexibility of the project regarding consumption of open
source licenses.
Beyond that, Munich wants to rely on large and vibrant
communities for any Open Source product it employs.

Last Thought
People who live in the past generally are afraid
to compete in the present.
I've got my faults, but living in the past is not
one of them. There's no future in it.
