NHSbuntu - with Rob Dyke
Rob and I do a detailed review of the - ‘two bottle of wine problem’ - NHSbuntu project which we built together back in 2017, relating how we used the great work already existing in the Linux and Open Source community to quickly put together a fully-functional, NHSmail-ready, stable, secure, legacy-app-friendly and low cost operating system for the NHS. With help from our friends (shout out to Brett Jackson, Cián Hughes, Rani Sen, NHS Spine Team, NHS Digital Delivery Centre, and others) we quickly had a working NHS Spine Identity Agent, and we virtualised/containerised anything that looked like it wasn’t fit to face the ravages of the internet. Then we got shut down. Here’s the story.
…There could have been a world in which QRISK3 was pre-installed on every desktop in the NHS instead of Minesweeper…

Our ‘Final Straw’ NHSbuntu post on OpenHealthHub openhealthhub.org/t/nhos-close…
Gemini’s summary of the NHSbuntu project
The NHSbuntu and NHoS (National Health Operating System) project was a significant grassroots, volunteer-led effort that captured the imagination of many in the UK's health tech community.1 Its story is as much about its technical ambition as it is about the challenges of working with large public institutions.
The project was largely driven by a small team of core volunteers, who were also health professionals and technologists, giving them a unique perspective on the challenges they were trying to solve.2
Dr. Marcus Baw: A General Practitioner (GP) and technologist, he was a co-founder of the project.3 Dr. Baw was a prominent voice in the open-source community and a "clinical informatician." He played a crucial role in advocating for the project's goals and was often the public face of the team, blogging and speaking about their work.
Rob Dyke: Described as the project's "ISO-master" and a technologist, Dyke was instrumental in the technical development of the operating system itself.4 He was responsible for building the custom Ubuntu distributions (ISOs) and working on key features like smart card integration.
Community: The project's developers actively fostered a community on platforms like openhealthhub.org, encouraging contributions from other IT staff, clinicians, and enthusiasts within the NHS.
The NHSbuntu/NHoS project began in early 2017, spurred by the need for a more secure, cost-effective, and flexible alternative to the NHS's heavily Microsoft-reliant IT infrastructure.7 The WannaCry cyber-attack in May 2017, which severely disrupted NHS services, highlighted the vulnerabilities the project aimed to solve, giving it a surge of public attention and support.8
In January 2018, the project was officially shut down.15 The developers, led by Dr. Baw, cited the constant legal threats and a lack of high-level support from key NHS bodies like NHS Digital as the reason for closing the project.
They felt they were being "used as leverage" in internal discussions about a new enterprise-wide agreement with Microsoft, and that despite interest from "grass-roots" IT staff, the higher echelons were not interested in backing an open-source alternative.16
The project remains an important case study in the challenges of introducing grassroots open-source initiatives into a large, politically sensitive, and highly bureaucratic public sector organization

The image shows a close-up view of a natural surface with two distinct areas. On the left side, there is a vibrant green patch of moss, characterized by its dense, soft, and fuzzy texture. The moss appears healthy and well-nourished, with a rich green color that suggests it is thriving in its environment. On the right side, the surface is covered with a mixture of small, light-colored pebbles and gravel, creating a rough and uneven texture. The pebbles vary in size and color, with shades of white, gray, and brown, and some darker spots that could be small patches of lichen or dirt. The moss and gravel areas are separated by a distinct boundary, with the moss encroaching slightly onto the gravel area, indicating a natural transition between the two surfaces. The overall composition highlights the contrast between the soft, organic texture of the moss and the hard, inorganic texture of the gravel.

The video takes place in a cozy restaurant with a warm, inviting atmosphere, featuring exposed beams and hanging lights. A server, dressed in a black t-shirt with "INVER GROVE BREWING CO." printed on it, gray pants, and white sneakers, is seen holding a plate with a burger and chips. The server is approached by a customer who asks, "HOW MUCH DOES THE BURGER COST?" The server responds with "$11." The customer then requests, "COULD YOU MAKE ME 29 MORE?" The server confirms, "I COULD, YES." The customer thanks the server, and the server hands over a large brown paper bag filled with burgers. The customer expresses gratitude, saying, "THANK YOU VERY MUCH." The server responds, "OF COURSE ENJOY," as the customer walks away with the bag. The video concludes with the server saying, "I WILL, THANK YOU SO MUCH," as the customer exits the frame. The Instagram handle "[@]JOSHILEJ" is visible throughout the video.
