TLDR; There is no right answer

All kode som eies og forvaltes av offentlige virksomheter bør være åpen, med noen veldig få unntak. GOV.UK har siden 2012 hatt coding in the open som standard, og man må argumentere hvis man ikke ønsker å åpne koden. Nå er det på høy tid at norsk offentlig sektor også tar steget!

Finn.no, the marketplace of possibilities, might be Norway's biggest sale platform. They also happen to publish a lot of the tools they create and use as open source tools, such as the feature toggle service Unleash. Let's try to recreate their own page with their tools! 🙌 Since Finn.no wasn't built in a day, we will restrict ourselves to the frontpage. Also, to make the article readable in a sensible amount of time, I will not go through the entire architecture, but reading this tutorial should give you the necessary means to build it all yourself.

And here we are, it's Christmas! We hope you've enjoyed reading Bekk's Open source advent calendar this December.

Such a simple question. But does it have an easy answer? Opening up your code base can seem a bit scary.

Today's interview is with the winner of Women In Open Source Award 2019 by Red Hat: @salonigarg_! Saloni is also a Computer Science undergrad, a Mozilla Open Leader and a Google Venkat Scholar. We're both honored and excited to talk with Saloni about Open source!

Software has become an integrated part of life. It's everywhere, and the complexity is increasing. As developers, we're standing on the shoulders of giants. Most of the software running in our applications is written by someone else. But do you know what you're allowed to use the software for? And what your obligations are when using the software? All software has a license, which means it contains legal talk which "authorize the use, performance, or release of (something)."

Today's tip is a nice, useful satirical Open Source repository for when you need to fake it to make it.

I ❤️ open source.
