The @sovtechfund is offering grants to people who contribute to a sustainable open source ecosystem. Grants go up to €300,000 per application and cover three main topics:

1. Improve FOSS Developer Tooling
2. Securing FOSS Software Production
3. FOSS Infrastructure Documentation

With this program the Sovereign Tech Fund seeks to stimulate an open digital infrastructure: fundamental technologies that enable the creation of other software.

We are pouring public funding down the drain agen, this criteria is feeding the #geekproblem not actually trying to take the "problem" out of our geek paths. The people who PUSH this agenda are the problem - please POINT at them and talk about this mess, thanks.

@witchescauldron
For this funding to be a #openweb project, it needs #openprocess which transparency is a core #4opens I don't think either of the current funding projects do this - likely for privacy and security and "safety" issues -this makes them non "native" to the #openweb they are saying they are a part of. A tension we need to talk abut.

#KISS

@NGIZero might be one of those broadcasting fedi accounts not monitored by live people.

Or, your first message in this thread was not so polite and might not have invited a response...

I worked with the guy who used to be behind the #NGIzero account, we did good stuff with the #EU outreach.

The replacement, I have no idea who they are and getting #blocking

This is a #4opens fail.

@bhaugen @Hamishcampbell in all these toots am talking past "people" to talk about things/social/groups and not directly to individuals, they are second in all these conversations. This is the place where social value lives. The problem is, we don't have hardly any of this... which is the subject am talking about.

#blocking is not seeing this, addressing this, the is a lot of blocking going on ;)

Am happy to talk to "individuals" as a first step.
