Best intro to a talk ever- “We are stubborn assholes in Finland”. Funny, thoughtful talk about Finnish culture, and why it drives software culture. A talkoot is coming together to work on a project together, by definition voluntary. Linux anyone? We don’t need cars and stuff anymore, so why strive?
