package proposes that all software that does not contain personal data and is developed by the administration shall be transferred to a public code base.
The introduction of the Free Software sabbatical is also part of the first proposal package.</p>
<p>In the short term, the coalition will also have to deal with the issue of data protection. Tools such as Cisco Webex are to be replaced by
a privacy-friendly Free Software solution. Products from Microsoft's Office family are also being put to the test. In addition, the employees
of the city's public administration will be free to use Free Software products in the future. However, a return to the prestigious LiMux project
is currently not being sought; instead, a free operating system should be introduced which will also be used in other public contexts. In doing
so, cooperation with other administrations will also be taken into account.</p>
Municipal enterprises are also to be put to the test. However, in this context, the administration, in particular the IT department, will also be
called upon. Cooperation with the department could still prove difficult, however, as the plans are not met with much enthusiasm at this point in particular.</p>
<p>The new coalition will continue the 'Public Money? Public Code!' project, even though it remains to be seen how the proposals will be
formulated and ultimately implemented. We will continue to closely monitor the process and push for an end to the dependency on individual
vendors and pave the way for sustainable digital sovereignty, which benefits not only the city, but also its citizens.</p>
