For the last decade, the #EU has been funding #Mastodon #KDE #Phosh #Nextcloud #OnlyOffice #PixelFed, #Libreoffice, #CryptPad, #Kdenlive, #Lemmy and many other Open Source projects you know and love through its #NextGenerationInternet programme.

But now that programme is ending and they are thinking about its successor.

They want to hear from you on what it should look like: Share your feedback to make sure the Commission keep funding amazing Open Source projects!

“I really like the Small Web. Thanks for NOT supporting it.”

(We tried one more time after that, got rejected again, and then stopped wasting time with @nlnet and @NGIZero. The Small Web will launch this year with ZERO EU funding in its six years of development from NGI/NLNet. If you want to support us before it does, please see https://small-tech.org/fund-us. After we launch, we aim for it to be self sustaining. So NGI/NLNet have been and are irrelevant as far as the Small Web is concerned.)
