Look, Munich: city of Barcelona kicks out Micro$oft in favor of Linux and open source.

The Linux distro to be used may be Ubuntu as the City is already running a pilot project of 1000 Ubuntu-based desktops.

Outlook mail client and Exchange Server will be replaced with Open-Xchange meanwhile Firefox and LibreOffice will take the place of Internet Explorer and M$ Office.

SiFive are on a path towards making libre RiscV CPUs.

RISC-V is an open, free ISA enabling a new era of processor innovation through OPEN standard collaboration.

Naturally then, these are coming with libre firmware. Rumor has it they'll be available late 2018. These should be both more libre than libreboot devices (since the hardware is o/s as well) and faster (64-bit, multicore).
