LiMux was a project launched by the city of Munich in 2004 in order to replace the software on its desktop computers, migrating from Microsoft Windows to free software based on Linux. … In May 2020, the recently elected coalition administration, formed by Green party and the Social Democrats, decided that “Where it is technologically and financially possible”, the city will emphasize use on open standards and free open-source licensed software. In October 2024, the City Government doubled down on this decision by implementing a five-point open-source plan, as well as, founding an Open Source Program Office. 200,000 Euros have been allocated to the OSPO for short-term positions of both municipal employees and external programmers.
