The business arm of Raspberry Pi is preparing to make an initial public offering (IPO) in London. CEO Eben Upton tells Ars that should the IPO happen, it will let Raspberry Pi's not-for-profit side expand by "at least a factor of 2X." And while it's "an understandable thing" that Raspberry Pi enthusiasts could be concerned, "while I'm involved in running the thing, I don't expect people to see any change in how we do things."

I guess that's the best one can hope for in top-down corporations. I wish they'd make it a workers' co-op for their and the community's long term sake but who am I kidding.. 🥲

Probably a radical opinion but I think all businesses should be worker co-ops. Doubt it would fix everything but it would be a good start

We're all comrades here. They are positioned better than many to do this given their mission, reputation and so on.
