   I signed an open letter to the @EUCommission requesting continued funding of open source software innovation and maintenance via the @EC_NGI program.

   Free and open source software is not free. Supporting it is vital to the EU economy and innovation competitiveness.

   @nlnet@nlnet.net and @NGIZero funded the development of many social web apps years before they were needed and likely much underlying software in the devices you depend on every day.

     @Jeremiah @EUCommission @EC_NGI @NGIZero @nlnet The EU doesn't need tech giants like the US or China. It has the chance to be synonymous with FOSS, which is much more inline with the EU’s values of freedom and cooperation.
