Beautiful .... I wish more and especially smaller organizations and businesses and groups just switch to LibreOffice because they don't really need all that complicated private overhead in order to do what they need to do.

They say this every year.

It's a negotiation tactic for their Microsoft licenses

Nah, they're serious about it. Note that it's just one of the 16 German federal states. The other 15 sadly don't have the necessary courage or integrity to make the switch.

Good luck with it. Hope it doesn't fail like the LiMux project back then.

Did that one actually fail for valid reasons, or just because Microsoft blackmailed the city by moving their headquarter location?
