City of Barcelona Kicks Out Microsoft in Favor of Linux and Open Source
=============
_Brief: Barcelona city administration has prepared the roadmap to migrate its existing system from Microsoft and proprietary software to Linux and Open Source software._
A Spanish newspaper, [El País][1], has reported that the [City of Barcelona][2] is in the process of migrating its computer system to Open Source technologies.
According to the news report, the city plans to first replace all its user applications with alternative open source applications. This will go on until the only remaining proprietary software will be Windows where it will finally be replaced with a Linux distribution.

### Barcelona will go open source by Spring 2019
The City has plans for 70% of its software budget to be invested in open source software in the coming year. The transition period, according to Francesca Bria (Commissioner of Technology and Digital Innovation at the City Council) will be completed before the mandate of the present administrators come to an end in Spring 2019.
### Migration aims to help local IT talent
For this to be accomplished, the City of Barcelona will start outsourcing IT projects to local small and medium sized enterprises. They will also be taking in 65 new developers to build software programs for their specific needs.
One of the major projects envisaged is the development of a digital market an online platform whereby small businesses will use to take part in public tenders.
The Linux distro to be used may be Ubuntu as the City is already running a pilot project of 1000 Ubuntu-based desktops. The news report also reveals that Outlook mail client and Exchange Server will be replaced with Open-Xchange meanwhile Firefox and LibreOffice will take the place of Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office.
### Barcelona becomes the first municipality to join “Public Money, Public Code” campaign
With this move, Barcelona becomes the first municipality to join the European campaign “[Public Money, Public Code][3]“.
It is an initiative of the [Free Software Foundation of Europe][4] and comes after an [open letter][5] that advocates that software funded publicly should be free. This call has been supported by more than about 15,000 individuals and more than 100 organizations. You can add your support as well. Just [sign the petition][6] and voice your opinion for open source.
### Money is always a factor
The move from Windows to Open Source software according to Bria promotes reuse in the sense that the programs that are developed could be deployed to other municipalities in Spain or elsewhere around the world. Obviously, the migration also aims at avoiding large amounts of money to be spent on proprietary software.
### What do you think?
This is a battle already won and a plus to the open source community. This was much needed especially when the [city of Munich has decided to go back to Microsoft][7].
What is your take on the City of Barcelona going open source? Do you foresee other European cities following the suit? Share your opinion with us in the comment section.

City of Barcelona Kicks Out Microsoft in Favor of Linux and Open Source
=============
_概述巴塞罗那城城市管理署已为从其现存的来自微软和专有软件的系统转换到 Linux 和开源软件规划好路线图。_
西班牙报纸 [El País](1) 日前报道,[巴塞罗那城](2)已在迁移其计算机系统至开源技术的进程中。
根据新闻报道,巴塞罗那城计划首先用开源应用程序替换掉所有的用户端应用。所有的专有软件都会被替换,最后仅剩下 Windows而最终它也会被一个 Linux 发行版替代。

### 巴塞罗那将会在 2019 年春季全面转换到开源
巴塞罗那城已经计划来年将其软件预算的 70% 投入到开源软件中。根据城市议会技术和数字创新委员会委员 Francesca Bria 的说法,这一转换的过渡期将会在 2019 年春季本届城市管理署的任期结束前完成。
### 迁移旨在帮助 IT 人才
为了完成向开源的迁移,巴塞罗那城将会在中小企业中探索 IT 相关的项目。另外,城市管理署将吸纳 65 名新的开发者来构建软件以满足特定的需求。
设想中的一项重要项目,是开发一个在线的数字市场平台,小型企业将会利用其参加公开招标。
### Ubuntu 将成为替代的 Linux 发行版
由于巴塞罗那已经运行着一个 1000 台规模的基于 Ubuntu 桌面的试点项目Ubuntu 可能会成为替代 Windows 的 Linux 发行版。新闻报道同时披露Open-Xchange 将会替代 Outlook 邮件客户端和 Exchange 邮件服务器,而 Firefox 与 LibreOffice 将会替代 Internet Explorer 与微软 Office。
### 巴塞罗那市政当局成为首个参与「<ruby>公共资产,公共代码<rt>Public Money, Public Code</rt></ruby>」运动的当局
凭借此次向开源项目迁移,巴塞罗那市政当局成为首个参与欧洲的「[<ruby>公共资产,公共代码<rt>Public Money, Public Code</rt></ruby>](3)」运动的当局。
[欧洲自由软件基金会](4)发布了一封[公开信](5),倡议公共筹资的软件应该是自由的,并发起了这项运动。已有超过 15,000 人和 100 家组织支持这一号召。你也可以支持一个,只需要[签署请愿书](6)并且为开源发出你的声音。
### 资金永远是一个理由
根据 Bria 的说法,从 Windows 到开源软件的迁移,就已开发的程序可以被部署在西班牙或世界上的其他当局而言,促进了重复利用。显然,这一迁移也是为了防止大量的金钱被花费在专有软件上。
你的想法如何?
对于开源社区来讲,巴塞罗那的迁移是一场已经赢得的战争,也是一个有利条件。当[慕尼黑选择回归微软的怀抱](7)时,这一消息是开源社区十分需要的。
你对巴塞罗那转向开源有什么开发?你有预见到其他欧洲城市也跟随这一变化吗?在评论中和我们分享你的观点吧。
