Nordic Countries to Promote Open Source

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the pining-for-the-fjords dept.

Nordic Avenger writes "The Nordic countries have launched a website to promote open source software to consumers and small businesses. People can submit open source software links as well as exchange information in the forums section. As the website states: 'Nordicos.org is a project of the Nordic Ministerial Council, and addresses the need for a comprehensive overview of open source software available for consumers'. Now, anybody eager to make good suggestions about software that normal people could find useful and live happily ever after in the open source world?"

    You do understand, of course, that without a registrations, the forums are necessarily self-moderated; and being the site is mostly frequented by people who are used to confront territorial polar bears while spending the day at the beach, you might be deep in the pee-pee yourself, trolling there.

    Enough of this freaking sun and hot weather, in Seattle of all places, which is also why there's no jobs.

    I'm going abroad to soak up all those tech jobs that are being shipped overseas!

    I deal with tough NYC gang members every day. That's right, I work at an elementary school. A polar bear wouldn't last 2 seconds in Harlem.

    A friend of mine is teaching this fall in the Bronx through one of those industry to school programs, she was just telling me about how busy she's been this week. She has not been drawing up her lesson plans, she has been drawing up her discipline plan.

    Still I think if you have ever run across a polar bear, outside of an enclosure, you might change your opinion. They could pretty much kill you just out of curiosity. Much like an eight year old might want to see what happens when one splits a worm in two.
