     @janvlug @aral perhaps could use some #foss money for his projects.
     Or is it only for Dutch people?

     @aral @hanscees Thanks for sharing this information. Very useful. Sorry to read this: "I’m also done wasting time writing grant proposals to organisations that clearly do not care about supporting the work we do."
     But reading the mail you received does not give me the impression that they "do not care about supporting the work we do", I read it as this decision was given by the "limited means".
     Anyway, I will read more about https://small-tech.org/

     @janvlug @hanscees Yeah, you know what, maybe I will keep applying and if we keep getting rejected, we’ll have a lovely art piece of rejections to use at conference talks and when asked about how our work for the common good is funded.

     @janvlug @hanscees Not really, there’s been a huge amount of progress in two years. But yes, why not? If we keep getting rejected only one of us looks bad given what we’re already delivering and how close we are to wider availability. It will embarrassing to some folks if the Small Web launches as a free and open alternative to the Big Web, made in the EU with zero EU public funding when organisations exist that say they fund exactly what it delivers. So, yeah, let’s see.
