> The “that’s nice but Denmark is small” comment is getting tiresome.

The parent comment didn't complain that Denmark or its overall government is small. They complained that this agency represents a small fraction of their government.

Yes. Typically is some town hall shifting to Linux and making a big fuss when literally million others are still running Windows.

Seeing an agency doing it is good, but still less than the French ditching Teams and Zoom altogether as country-wide policy.

But still, this is Denmark’s tech modernization agency. They follow an eat-your-own-dogfood stance.

Transforming the public administration is the logical next step. Something different happening here, not the town hall big fuss approach.

It’s usually German towns or cities trying to drive hard bargains or fighting some internal political battle.

This is a different - the agency has more scope and with the ridiculous confrontation between the US and Denmark there’s no doubt active espionage targeting Denmark from the US.

Quite a lot of small bits on Denmark are moving towards this, but its still not every much in a country that is one of the most strongly motivated to not depend on the US (because of Greenland).

The branch of the public sector I'm responsible for is moving towards Cloud Native and Open Source where it makes sense. It's an interesting journey but far from cheap.
