@joshbressers @eff Oh, we'll make sure you get a @sovtechfund hoodie (black, zip up, pretty cool ;) when we have the chance to meet you somewhere next year.

The @sovtechfund is seeking input from #FOSS maintainers to inform the design of a fellowship program.

And Mastodon is definitely the right place to ask:

If you maintain open source projects and you have 10 minutes to spare, we would be very grateful if you could respond to the survey:

https://survey.sovereigntechfund.de/968766

For further questions or comments, please get in touch with Fellowship Lead @mechko.

Please also repost and share with FOSS maintainers you know. Thank you!

We are very excited to share the @sovtechfund support for Log4j.

The security vulnerabilities in Log4j drew the world’s attention in December 2021, serving as part of the impetus that eventually resulted in the creation of the Sovereign Tech Fund.

It blows my mind, that the core team behind Log4j until now has not received significant financial support for their work on this critical FOSS project.

We’re happy to change that.

Good news in #FOSS anyone?

Our application platform is now open! ?

We welcome subsmissions from projects that seek support for Open Source Infrastructure in the public interest.

Would you like to see support for a specific library, developer tool or any other critical open source component? Please let us know!
