This is the best summary I could come up with:

Expressed last week was a "major issue" from the GNOME Foundation side with regard to the Sovereign Tech Fund partnership for funding a number of useful improvements to the GNOME software stack just as Germany's STF has been doing to a number of other prominent open-source projects.

While there still aren't many clear public details on this "major issue", a Friday night update from the GNOME side seems to indicate all is well and they are also embarking on additional development funding initiatives.

Tonight's post on the GNOME website is entitled "Exciting Updates on the GNOME Development Initiative and Sovereign Tech Fund" with the key takeaways being: - The contracted work continues to progress, and the Sovereign Tech Fund is very encouraged by what has been accomplished to date.

• The areas of work currently being funded by STF are planned to continue and to be strengthened and expanded as part of our new, permanent GNOME Development Initiative, as described in our draft strategic plan: foundation.gnome.org/strategicplan - The Foundation is reorganizing the project and hiring an additional program manager to work with current managers on the new Initiative.

We are finalizing a contract for transitional work with the new manager and will make a formal announcement next week.

So at least from today's update at face value, all seems well with the important Sovereign Tech Fund partnership...
