Are you considering to apply for the Open Internet Stack open calls from the @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu ? Join the matchmaking sessions to find consortium partners.

Share your knowledge about Free and Open Source with the @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu and provide input for its European Open Digital Ecosystem Strategy.

All feedback is welcome but there are five specific questions like: What are the main barriers that prevent #FOSS adoption? & What is the added value of FOSS?

Input informs the Strategy which marks FOSS as a crucial contribution to technological sovereignty & security.
The Call is open till February 3.

Another 45 FOSS projects have been selected for the #NGI0 Commons Fund. We want to thank the project teams for their contribution to a free and open internet. In a world increasingly in the grip of proprietary technologies and those who control them, we are proud to be supporting people who choose to work on the digital commons: shared digital assets that serve not the few but the many.

Come over to read what each project is working on.
