@hamishcampbell Would you mind elaborating why my funding project proposal is not a fit, considering:

"
Policy language travels further, when we push for small “wild funding” streams. Instead of demanding institutional transformation, push for small structural openings:

microgrants
low-bureaucracy funding
experimental tracks
funding for governance experiments, not just technical deliverables.
"

in https://hamishcampbell.com/the-eu-opportunity-and-danger-what-grassroots-projects-can-offer/ ?

It checks all those boxes.

@warmsignull you can answer that yourself from our conversations.

What do you think of this funding application https://hamishcampbell.com/funding-proposal-open-media-network-omn-building-portable-human-centred-digital-commons/

It's well fluffy, and would provide the seed of the resources you talk about.

@hamishcampbell It looks to me like doing this 100% pure and 100% aligned way has guaranteed so far minimal outcomes. Is it better to stick to 100% ideological purity, even if that means very little or no outcomes? Wouldn't 90-99% be good enough just to make the initial push? Is 100% better even if it would mean no change for next decades, if ever?
