   • NGI Zero open source funding

   @NGIZero just dropped the 2025 list of grant-funded FOSS projects, and there's some bangers this year!:
   https://nlnet.nl/news/2025/20250101-announcing-grantees-June-call.html

   Here's 6 I'm super excited for in reverse order:

   6. OpenStreetMap-NG
   "a more accessible, privacy-respecting, and developer-friendly mapping platform."

   "Our mission is to revolutionize the map and provide a better experience for all users. It is simply the Next Generation of OpenStreetMap."

     @Blort I'm not entirely clear, but they seem to be mostly talking about redoing the web UI?

     That'd take a bit of refactoring the OSM stack to achieve, but it'll probably end up with a cleaner architecture!

     1. OrganicMaps Convergent Linux UI

     A great maps application is critical on any mobile platform, and IMO, @organicmaps is the best #FOSS maps app there is today. It's Android only though, despite having a basic testing tool on #Linux. This project finally funds bringing this amazing map app to mobile (and desktop!) Linux - a big win for mobile freedom. I am PUMPED for this one!

     2. Mox email management and automation

     A modern, easy to set up stack to help people more easily and reliably #SelfHost #Email. Email is critical and the common #SelfHosting narrative is that it's impossible, or at least you need to be a technical grey beard/ponytail ninja to pull it off. Anything that helps make this easy could be HUGE, and I'm all for it!

     3. Reaction
     As the saying goes, without security there is no privacy. "Reaction wants to provide a more modern and efficient approach to regex-based log scanning, allowing multiple reaction instances to communicate, sharing bans across an entire infrastructure as well as more intelligent and user-friendly soft bans."

     More intelligent detection and automated security across hosters? Yes please!

     4. Spritely Oaken
     The @spritely Institute, headed up by @cwebber (OG #ActivityPub / #Fediverse cofounder) is working on making the next generation of FOSS, decentralized internet (beyond the web). Oaken is a vision to help make running untrusted code on this new frontier safe, opening up far more possibilities. It doesn't exist yet... but now there's funding to build it!

     5. Empowering Mobilizon
     Creating a governance structure to hit Mobilizon's most important goals and priorities. We really need an open, privacy respecting way to get people offline and building community now more than ever. Governance may not be sexy, but this will make a huge difference! to funding, planning and increasing the features and reach of Mobilizon!

     @Blort @NGIZero @organicmaps Yeah for me it's Organic Maps Convergent Linux UI followed by:
     - https://nlnet.nl/project/Weasyprint/
     - https://nlnet.nl/project/MT818x_MT819x-firmware/
     - https://nlnet.nl/project/Sailfish-FOSS-audit/
     
     OpenStreetMap-NG also looks a bit interesting but I'd more wonder what they want to do, modern frontend web development being quite cursed.
