Monki Gras 2015 – Patrik Sallner: Sibelius, Sauna and Sisu – Why the Nordics Trust the Community

In response to the long dark winters of the northern region, famous Nordics such as Jean Sibelius and Linus Torvalds have spent their lives lighting up the world and some of it in a darkened, steamy room. From mobile communications standards to open source software like Linus and MySQL to gaming companies like Rovio and Supercell to Spotify and Skype, Nordic businesses have led the way in technology and service development. The concept of Community has recently found new meaning in the context of technology but has deep roots in the cold winter climate. Patrik will take you on a journey of how Nordic values have influenced the way they develop software and technology.
