Abstract
The Turkish Government decided to move to open source technology around 2013. After this decision Profelis worked on a desktop server migration project and developed an OpenSuse based distribution called Gibux.
37.000+ desktop were migrated in 3 years. After this migration, the Ministry approved AD servers migration to Samba4. Today 515 servers countrywide use Samba as Authentication. This is the story of one of the biggest open source migration projects in Turkey. Slides (PDF)
