Rather than focus on this particular situation in Munich, it discusses how the
body of available Free Software work (focusing here on calendaring and
groupware) may not convincingly offer obvious solutions to organisations, and
it suggests why this might be happening and what might be done to rectify such
problems.

P.S. The article is now freely viewable. I have previously seen people post
subscriber links to mailing lists, usually with the explicit permission of the
authors and editors. Indeed, I've seen the LWN staff post subscriber links to
mailing lists themselves.
