Fingers crossed that this will be an indisputable success. ๐Ÿคž
Allegedly a similar project in Munich went really really well, but was shut down when the right wing came into power.
For some reason the right wing of Munich doesn't like freedom. ๐Ÿ™„

was shut down when the right wing came into power.

...and when M$ moved their headquarters into the city of Munich, making some nice impact on the city treasury.

They had already moved it, so Munich didn't have to switch back for that.
But yes I bet it was a factor as in corruption.

Well there is never enough money for the workers that they need for open source but there is always more than enough money for companies and their consultants โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Microsoft supports genocide which also makes them attractive to fascists.

Munich racist shitheads (a.k.a. CSU) absolutely do love that sweet "freedom money" a.k.a. bribes though. Corrupt fuckers...
