The shocker came when one person said that they’re now ready for the implementation.
"We’ve created all the concepts and ideas and now we’re looking for the Open Source community to build the software for an autonomous European Cloud."
— Anonymous person involved in the European GAIA-X initiative
I asked her what funding was associated and whether there are any bounties for implementing any of their concepts. She looked at me confused and responded; "No, the Open Source community should implement it now". I asked her whether she knew how Open Source actually works, if she had ever met any Open Source project teams, had ever written any software herself. You can guess the answer: it’s No.
