@sciss Yeah, I know, but it's bound to happen sooner or later. I hope the people doing it in the schools of Bern are ready for the challenge narrow-minded teachers pose 😆
@hikerus @steckerhalter Negative reactions from the teachers towards using open source?
in related news, someone in the comments section of said article thinks that it is verly likely that #Windows itself will become open source soon

"Gut möglich, dass Windows sogar bald OS wird."
@steckerhalter They did the same a few years back (2004?) in the municipality of Munich; they are currently (?) planning to return to all M$ and all-windows-PCs by 2020 AFAIK :-/
