Cool, but ehm… why does the meme look like a bad Magic Eye 3D image ?

 

So what is going to happen when Linus gets to old to keep on to maintain the kernel ? I know there is a whole team, but he seems to have some kind of executive role in what’s gets released and not.

Aaah, that’s a bit of a stretch. It is one Ministry doing the switch, which is nice, but hardly qualifies as “Denmark” or “the Danish government”.

I don’t think he did. It seems fishy.

While this is a great first step, I would like to remind you, that this is only one ministry containing maybe a couple of thousands employees.

As a comparison Copenhagen Municipality has around 45.000 employees - not all of them requiring computers of course.

But it illustrates that if real change is the ambition, nothing is going to happen before the municipalities gets involved.

And employees of a digitalisation ministry of course if gonna get excited, but imagine 60 year old Hanne Andersens uproar, when she hears that she has to learn a new OS or software suite to process drivers license applications or document travel expenses for s a disabled child.

So while it is great it starts to get some publicity, that we are highly dependent on a few very greedy and morally ambiguous corporations, it is just a very small first step, with a very long and hurdled road in front of us, that will get very little publicity.
