Exploring open-source, digital standards, and why openness matters
In this episode of Open Matters, Richard Brock speaks with Johan Bernhardsson from Redpill Linpro, one of the Nordic region’s leading open-source consultancies. Johan shares what real-world migrations look like: from replacing aging NAS drives with Nextcloud to building GDPR-sensitive collaboration platforms, and helping organizations move at their own pace.
We discuss:
-Why “cloud-first” often means “no real choice”
-How open-source migrations actually begin
-Why user experience matters more than features
-The growing demand for on-prem and sovereign deployments
-And why digital change is still slow — but accelerating
If digital sovereignty is more than a slogan, this is what it looks like on the ground.
