This is the best summary I could come up with:
The plan is to start with LibreOffice and move through essential infrastructure and desktop OS to the full top-to-bottom open stack.
Microsoft's focus on moving people to Office 365 and upping hardware specs for Windows 11 for no good reason makes taking a different path much more palatable.
In the past, its privacy stance saw it banned for use in schools in the state of Hessen, although the company has absorbed rectifying decisions that eventually followed.
If a change to Windows happens to break that compatibility, guess who picks up the pain and the bills.
Schleswig-Holstein itself will become a new hub of technical excellence in an area that intensely interests the rest of the world, in public and private organizations.
That may change if a new set of politicians are elected with a different agenda, but here we must give the voters the responsibility of keeping an eye on things.
