This is the follow-up to our 2024 State of Platforms report. We ran the same survey twice, in late 2023 and late 2025, to track how platform engineering is evolving across the Norwegian public sector. The 2026 wave captured 45 organizations representing approximately 240,000 public sector employees and organizational budgets totaling 2.5 trillion NOK.

Glad to see fish getting some shout outs here. Been using it for over ten years now, and it is super easy to get going on new hosts - it is just one simple install away.

Great, but most of the Norwegian governments are missing. Here is a more up to date list https://github.com/MikAoJk/norwegian-public-organizations/tr...

For us it is a matter of building trust and allowing others to help if they choose so. We don’t expect many outside contributions.

Yes, we definitely do that! Talking about cake, can someone form HN make a pull request, please?!

The Labor and Welfare Administration (NAV) of the Norwegian government is doing exactly that, we have been opening up our code since 2018 and are accepting pull requests across our 2000 public repositories from those who want to improve government services https://github.com/navikt this has also enabled a much more close collaboration between new and existing partners that was previously unheard of!

The largest branch of the Norwegian government, Labor and Welfare Administration (NAV), have adopted this this policy since 2018 and now we have over 2000 public repositories on https://github.com/navikt and https://github.com/nais (last one is our platform organization)

According to their FAQ page this only applies to products with a “guarantee to keep you dry” label inside.

From what I have herd (but I was unable to find any written source at this point) the sampling only applies to the Gore-Tex Pro Shell brand. Meaning that products needs to be sent in and certified by Gore before they can be sold under that name.

For me it is how one person can suddenly own an entire social network and dictate the rules as he likes or dislikes. Mastodon it self is more open, the server you choose to sign up to might have content policies in place.
