Happy to announce 29 projects have been selected in round 6 of the NGI Zero Commons Fund.

It is a great selection of Free and Open Source projects covering the entire stack from open hardware to apps that improve user autonomy. Together they help to build the digital commons.

Some projects even already have #hex stickers \o/. Come check it out!

Testing GNU Taler at #Datenspuren was fun. And by fun I mean mostly unspectacular. It just worked. I scanned a QR code. I got some Kolle Mate.

I think some sort of GNU Taler integration into #Conversations_im would be pretty cool.

If you would like to integrate Taler into Conversations there are currently funding opportunities available¹ from @nlnet and both the Taler developer as well as myself are happy to help with scoping.
