    "After the cautiously announced return to open source software in
    Munich by the SPD and the Greens, more free software is to be used in
    the administration of the Hanseatic City of Hamburg in the future.
    This was also agreed upon by the SPD and the Greens during their
    coalition negotiations in Germany's second largest city.(...)" <https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/gv3la0/hamburg_wants_to_get_away_from_microsoft_products/>

    "WhatΓÇÖs not clear, however, is whether Hamburg is planning a full
    switch to open source or just a partial transition that would have the
    city replace software like the Microsoft Office productivity suite
    with alternatives like LibreOffice." <https://news.softpedia.com/news/another-german-city-wants-to-replace-microsoft-with-open-source-software-530156.shtml>

    To Linux or not to Linux, that's the question...

    Notice that they may use LibreOffice in Windows. It is important, though.
