Quite unrelated but could I ask you a question or two (via e-mail/irc) about working in Swiss IT?
The city of Munich even has created their own Linux distro in 2006, called LiMux, which is part of the identically named LiMux project, aimed at switching all their software systems to free and open source software. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiMux)
Swiss Neutrality
Cool. It would be interesting to see an estimate of the savings from software license purchases they no longer have to make, and what they plan to do with the savings.
Hopefully this will contribute to improve the open source office software.
