The petition is open to all EU resident. The goal is to replace all Windows in all public institution in Europe with a sovereign GNU/Linux.

If the petition is successful it would be a huge step forward for GNU/Linux adoption.

Nope, not Germany. The city of Munich, and it was rolled back because a politician took Microsoft bribes and drank the Microsoft snake oil.

Until the next corrupt politician... but yeah, let's hope Linux stays, this time around.

Should be, but I am afraid that our system encourages corrupt people to seek positions of power.
