    So I would love if this would be the case (German gov using open soruce software) but tbh this reads like marketing bs to me, sorry. “Aims to transform public administration”, “providing Germany’s public sector with a secure and open-source alternative”. Yes, good. Nice. Cool. But are any government agencies are actually using it? I feel like if they wpild be they’d surely name them …

      they tried already using open source in several occasions for smaller administrative municipalities.

      all failed and went back then, wasting loads of time and money. so for sure marketing gag

      I’m sure Germany is not a monolithic entity. It has different departments for different things and if you don’t agree with them politically or dislike their actions, none of that has anything to do with them using tech for general administration purposes.
