Hi, tl;dr: Want to contribute to Open Source (including projects here at the ASF) and have that time publicly funded? Head over to:
https://sovereigntechfund.de/en/challenges/ >From the title page: "The Sovereign Tech Fund is looking for developers who use open source and want to contribute back to it. [...] In three challenges, participants can work on contributing back to open source for up to eight months with a budget of up to €300,000 per round. Many more people use open source software every day than contribute to it. It’s time to give back and invest in this ecosystem, to increase its security and sustainability, and to create a digital world that we collectively shape. The Sovereign Tech Fund invests in open digital infrastructure. For us, this means fundamental technologies that enable the creation of other software. These components – like libraries and open standards – are openly accessible, trustworthy and can be used freely." >From the description of the projects they want to fund I see a lot of overlap with our projects here at the ASF. Feel free to share this information publicly and widely! Warm regards, Isabel
