mlnox··on Bulgaria Passes a Law Requiring Open Source
The UK government's digital services implement Open Standards for most of the code they develop. While this isn't something that third party vendors have to do, GDS/PDS/MOJDS/HMRCDigital are all rapidly reducing the amount of work external vendors do for government anyway.

mlnox··on David Cameron announces resignation
He didn't campaign strongly because he's been consistently opposed to European integration for most of his parliamentary career. He believes it has a hugely negative effect on job prospects and wages for the poorest in society.

The only reason he even vaguely put his support behind remain was so that he wouldn't face a rebellion among his MPs. I'm pretty certain if he was still a backbencher he would have supported leaving.

I'm not sure you can characterise Scotland as Labour anymore. Largest party in the Scottish parliament are SNP, second largest Conservative, Labour are a measly third place.

As much as London is Labour supporting it's only a very small part of their supporter base, their traditional heartlands are Wales and the North of the UK, both of which overwhelmingly voted to leave.
