The FOSS movement in Germany always seemed to me a tiny bit more mainstream than the one in the US. Tech publications report more on Linux happenings (as opposed to the sometimes intense Apple focus of US tech publications).

Linux also has more market share in Germany than any other western country, I think.

According to statcounter, Germany has the highest usage of Firefox and fourth highest usage of Linux (behind Ireland, Greece and Luxembourg) among European and North American countries. Additionally, you have the Chaos Computer Club, which is somewhat prominent and could influence the thinking about FOSS.
