Authors: Nagler, Michael
Keywords: Linux, Salzburg, Open Source Software Conference for public administrations, municipal department, discontinuation of the support, migration, Open Source Software
Abstract: On November 3, at the Open Source Software Conference for public administrations in Vienna – Austria, Roman Breitfuss who is the person in charge of IT from Salzburg’s city administration, presented details of the open source migration process of its city. The municipal department 06 is the internal IT service provider of the city and is responsible for the support of about 1.250 PC-workstations. In 2002, 1250 workstations of the municipality were running under the proprietary operating system Windows XP or Windows NT connected with Windows/Intel servers responsible for office automation tasks (Microsoft, Fabasoft software products, etc.) and with a Siemens S110-F server responsible for finance and human resource management tasks based on software products from SOFTWARE AG. Due to the discontinuation of the support for the Siemens S110-F server, the IT-department had to replace the system and to find an adequate alternative.
