Munich returns to open source, but not to a Linux desktop

Munich is switching back to open-source software, but not to its LiMux Linux desktop. The city is replacing VMware with Proxmox, Jira and Confluence with OpenProject and XWiki, and Oracle databases with PostgreSQL. The migrations are expected to save roughly €1.5 million or more annually.

• VMware replaced by Proxmox; Jira and Confluence by OpenProject and XWiki
• Oracle databases replaced with PostgreSQL
• Infrastructure and collaboration migrations to save about €1.5 million a year
• LiMux was dropped in 2017 for political, not technical, reasons
