people working on FOSS: did you see this and did you apply (grants)? sovereigntechfund.de/en/challe

because of all our hardware projects i'm already spread too thin to contribute in a bigger way to sw projects that i think matter a lot, like linux arm kernel and drivers, mesa, wlroots, wayfire, sway, gnome, pipewire, creative apps like gimp, inkscape, audio and video editors... but i would love to see the relevant people getting this cash and pushing FOSS desktops forward

sovereigntechfund.deThree Challenges to Contribute Back to Open SourceLet’s strengthen the Open Source ecosystem together! The Sovereign Tech Fund is looking for developers who use open source and want to contribute back to it. We need a sustainable ecosystem that enables new software development and ensures the ongoing security of existing dependencies. In three challenges, participants can work on contributing back to open source for up to eight months with a budget of up to €300,000 per round.

and of course i would like to see the fediverse and related things win

@mntmn would love to do sth but not sure which project could use it best, and not personally involved with anything relevant. If you or someone else have an idea, would love to support it or get it ready for submission.

@brunomiguel could this be relevant for any of your projects?

@mntmn this is such a cool program. I'll share it with friends and keep it in mind to explore and see what the U.S. (or my state) has and, if there's a lack of it, to figure out ways to push for a version of it.

@mntmn Thanks for sharing about the challenges! We also offer longer-term funding/support for open source infrastructure (maintenance, etc.), more details here: sovereigntechfund.de/en/applic
