Cooperation and Inclusion through Open Source
summary
Munich recounts a failed desktop migration — limox failed — because change management and on‑premise desktop focus clash with bureaucratic rigidity, but keeps concrete wins: a citywide daycare planning system is deployed, a workflow engine called digibf automates processes, an inclus map for accessible public toilets launches with TU Munich, and an open source Factory (two employees) plus an Open Source Hub and a paid open source sabbatical program aim to scale contributions across a 1,000+ person IT organization and with partner cities.
