@ekis @jens @thegibson

You might see if @melanierieback is interested in a concept like this.

Melanie is heading @ros and is also initiator of https://nonprofit.ventures

#RadicallyOpenSecurity is a non-profit venture too and works together with #NLnet @NGIZero to provide services (security audits) to projects that receive EU Horizons funding via https://ngi.eu

Slogan is nothing less than "Business is one of the most effective forms of activism" and that starts with $$$ sustainability.

I'm so happy to announce that #NLnet decided to fund the development of an open hardware power profiler + battery simulation device I proposed, called JellyfishOPP. I've already done some initial work, but I'll properly start working on it in the upcoming days/weeks. More info (and future updates) about the device available here: https://hyperglitch.com/articles/jellyfishopp

We just finished adding #WebOfTrust support to #PGPainless!
Many thanks to @NGIZero and #NLnet for funding the project!

Finished drafting my responses for @nodebb's application for #nlnet Zero Core. Sleeping on it for a couple days and then submitting. Wish us luck!

We're not located in the #eurozone but hopefully they'll give us some consideration regardless 🙂

Take a stab at what we want to fund... 🌐

Does anyone know anything about NLnet Foundation https://nlnet.nl/ ? Sounds too good to be true. Is this to be taken seriously or just another vampire from the start-up scene? Visually and due to the superlatives, it seems very untrustworthy at first. You should take a look at it. #nlnet #fedivers #fedi #federation #freedom #vampire

🎉 This summer we will be working on making events created on #WordPress sites part of the #Fediverse. Thanks to #NLnet, we are able to give the project the attention it needs!

As part of our current #NLNet grant and plan to build a first application (Meli 🐝!), we've designed a specification for Blob support.

Here it is: https://p2panda.org/specification/data-types/blobs/

It is very basic - but in combination with custom application schemas one can build cool things on top of it!

For example a file sharing tool, or static site publisher with version control, or record label where artists can collaboratively publish and overwrite single audio frames of large .wav files .. 🎸🤔

@janneke It took a while to get it merged, but now we can celebrate! 🎉

Also, great to see that #NLnet is funding the next steps, with @ekaitz_zarraga and others hard at work!

@zachklipp

First of all check out #ForgeFed specs at https://forgefed.org

There's https://forgeflux.org by @realaravinth focusing on #Github and the forge federation ecosystem is discussing at #Matrix in chatroom: https://matrix.to/#/#general-forgefed:matrix.batsense.net

In terms of forges that are most actively working on federation support (with help of #NLnet grant) is #Forgejo at https://forgejo.org (#Codeberg runs this software).

#LibResilient got more #NLnet funding, and so there are new milestones!
https://resilient.is/blog/more-funding-new-milestones/

> Good news: NLnet Foundation decided to extend their small grant for LibResilient! That grant funded bulk of the work over the last year and a half. It will now continue to do so for the next year or so.

I'm really happy to announce the #SummerofNix 2023, organized together with the #NixOS and #NLNet foundations.

We have significantly reworked the collaboration format and will focus exclusively on #mobprogramming this year. In addition, we will be working on a monorepo “ngipkgs” for all #NGI Nix packages.

Thank you, @EU_Commission and NGI program, for the support and the belief in Nix as a tool to manage the complexity of #opensource.

Don't hesitate to apply!

@nlnetlabs - Does #NLnet support projects from outside the EU?

Dear @EU_Commission, I said this at the EU Parliament but let me repeat it:

Public funding for tech should come with a stipulation that the organisations that take (our) public funds should not then be able to take venture capital (VC) and have private capital enclose what is built with that public funding.

Context: Delta Char (@delta), which has received public funding from multiple #EU funds, #NLNet, etc. is reportedly now considering a VC offer.

#DeltaChat #EU #VentureCapital #VC

@compl4xx @adalanerd @delta Yeah, if the folks handing out (our) public funds had any sense, organisations that get them would not be able to then take #VC so that what is built using them can then be enclosed. But clearly #NLNet, etc., aren’t thinking that far. So we fund things from the commons and if they fail, we shoulder the cost but if they succeed, then private capital takes the rewards and encloses it. Not great is it?

I guess I can take this response as confirmation, then?

#deltaChat

@bob @bhaugen @witchescauldron @bonfire

Much of the funding we are talking about goes through #NLnet which is a charity run as a #NGO last time I looked, but we are not actually talking about this rather we are talking about "thinking" which is commn to #NGO people https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-governmental_organization#Criticism thus about social groups rather than things.
