    The feedback from the Inkscape project is a great read.

    Excerpt:

    Over time, I have notice that the contributions from volunteers in the USA have waned, while those from the EU have increased dramatically.

    I would be curious to find out why, honestly. Is there some economic factor? Has Adobe thoroughly captured the market? Is it cultural? I know the comment author speculates that it's a cultural/political shift, but I'm curious what the data would show!

    I think they do actually. They just showed support for Greenland and has publicly said they are slowly breaking away from trade deals with the US.

    Europe is the obvious new partner and both sides would benefit alot.

    Canada is for sure also looking at the tech side. And with the open source approach from the EU, they too can benefit.

    I want Canada to be a contributor not just a consumer of Europeans tech products. Big tech projects including open source financing should have been part of Carney's nation building projects in my opinion

    FWIW last year was the first year I’ve ever had website clients specifically request to be hosted in Canada. Word is getting around that the traditional tech stack is more precarious than once believed.

    Somehow i think this year will be about war, not tech dominance. Its peak Trump now.

    Who would have thought that populating walled gardens and other enshitified services is a terrible idea?

    One of the fundamental problems is that our leadership is becoming increasingly illiterate in technology. In order to leverage the economies of scale for large systems we need to either content ourselves with enshitified corporate solutions or enable collectivised approaches. Wikipedia is an excellent example of this, more of that please.
