The city of Munich successfully completed its switch from Windows NT to its own open source Linux distribution, LiMux, in December. It created over 14,800 LiMux workspaces for its approximately 15,500 desktops.
While that part of its switch to open source was completed, it still needed a groupware system to manage mail, mailing lists, calendars and contacts for its employees though. To achieve this, it issued a tender that was won by the Swiss Kolab Systems, the company announced Tuesday.
