   I am honored to be chosen by the Nordic ministers of culture to be one of thirteen experts in a new Nordic think tank. The think tank will take a closer look at the tech giants’ influence on democracy in the Nordic Region and come up with proposals for solutions.

   The think tank will carry out the work over the course of the next 12 months, and will result in a presentation of its recommendations in the first half of 2023. 

   So all thoughts and comments are welcome!

     @carl Congratulations to the think tank!

     I'm obviously biased, but I think it would be greatly beneficial for the region if more of the local software development adapted principles from the Standard for Public Code. If all public organizations in the region collaborated better, it would be easier to take alternative paths and escape some of that influence.
