Happy to say that I am working on such a project. Heavy (and unnecessary NDA) so I cannot say in cleartext but it is in use in one Nordic country already, it is opensource and already I hear that the Dutch found it to be a good starting point and probably will be using it too.
Some more details, the company I work for is owned by one country but doesn't compete as much as cooperate - I am a consultant from another company. And we both use open source software and libraries and publish as open source most of what we create.
I hate it that I can't talk about it.
- yorwba 6y agoIt's open source but you can't talk about it? How does that even work?
- computerfriend 6y agoIt depends on the motives. E.g. they hire Palentir but don't want to have those bad associations, so NDA the Palentir contractors working on it.
- skinkestek 6y agoI'm not working for Palantir, what we work on is linked to one of: - capacity planning for renewables (hydro power) - streamlining mass transit - large scale collection and recycling of bottles - search and rescue operations in the North Sea - education as for why the NDA, my best guess is because "they could". Someone should tell them they are losing out on some great publisity and goodwill.
- em-bee 6y agois the code already public? or will it be published when it's done?
- skinkestek 6y agoIt is already public. Which is why I think the NDA (or my reading of it) is way too wide.
