Michiel Leenaars (our director of strategy) speaks at #FOSDEM about Europe's ambition to increase its digital sovereignty in relation to the #NextGenerationInternet. Despite its contribution to tech sovereignty with over 1300 Free and Open technologies supported, so far #NGI is not in the EU's future plans.

🤩 The time has come - we are kicking off our new #webinar series next week!

Mastodon becoming a US entity with a neoliberal board of directors and the goal of growth über alles is the issue here folks, not whether Eugen and company are compensated for their work. Of course they should be and well too. Or is that a privilege reserved only for the mediocre yes-people at the Googles and the Facebooks of the world?
If, on the other hand, maybe we’d like more folks to contribute to the commons and maybe not even be captured by Silicon Valley how about this radical idea: Fund them so they can live (at least as well) as any mediocre yes-person at a mainstream tech company.
Come and meet the 41 projects which will receive funding in the latest round of the #NGI0 Entrust and NGI0 Core programs.
We want to thank all the people/teams/communities behind these free and open source projects for their important contribution to a trustworthy, resilient, open internet.
