Love the initiative but it has failed so often (Munich anyone?) because of stupid choices like:

- let’s make our own distro.

- Let’s use OpenOffice (0 knowledge of FOSS at the start)

- let’s ban anything proprietary from day one

I hope someone wise is in charge (that Sturmer seems to be a good one, let’s just hope he is not too dogmatic/RMS about FOSS) and they set themselves up for success. Which, to me means: take it slow, ask for feedback, guide; don’t force.

… basically apply standard change management techniques.
