KDE urges the European Commission restore #funding for free software through Next Generation Internet (NGI).
Read the open letter here:
This is probably the best way forward, to get world governments to pony up - especially since most of their infrastructure relies on it, even though they might think their favourite nepotistic contracter, that kisses their cheeks lightly, and strokes their hair, that they did not actually code anything lol
It's all open source? All the way down, baby.

#Flarum has signed the letter. Thank you for bringing this up. The NGI grant has been and is fundamental for our project.
I often sight to my competition lawyer wife on how Next Generation Internet (NGI) goes a long way in ensuring competition in the market by funding innovative open-source projects.
EU folks, please don't let it die.
