The NGI Zero BoF room at #FOSDEM has been moved an hour from 12.00 to 13.00. Still in room K.4.401

But the 12.00 o'clock BoF is very interesting too: staff from the @EUCommission will present the topics open for applicants of the Open Internet Stack, the successor programme to Next Generation Internet for a total of 41.3M€.

Read about #Encyclia by @jfietkau and plans to bring more #OpenScience to our #fediverse
https://discuss.coding.social/t/my-current-goals-for-activitypub-and-academic-data/750
There are multiple other #ActivityPub projects that share interests to connect more tightly the academic world to the #SocialWeb.
Backed by #NGI0 @nlnet funding there is the very promising @bonfire and #Plaudit in earlier rounds (#WebMentions, not fedi).
We should align on #OpenStandards
https://encyclia.pub
https://bonfirenetworks.org
https://plaudit.pub
Another 45 FOSS projects have been selected for the #NGI0 Commons Fund. We want to thank the project teams for their contribution to a free and open internet. In a world increasingly in the grip of proprietary technologies and those who control them, we are proud to be supporting people who choose to work on the digital commons: shared digital assets that serve not the few but the many.
Come over to read what each project is working on.

What a lovely article by @kissane on the achievements of the @bonfire team who - helped like many other fedi projects by #NGI0 @nlnet funding - mustered the huge effort and perseverance to explore new and exciting areas of social networking. To glimpse the future of the social web certainly give Bonfire's website a visit. 💕
Enshitification is a real $h!T
Great talk "A post-American, enshittification-resistant internet" by @pluralistic at #websummit2025 #lisbon
Free and Open Source #floss really contributes to a free internet.
Although it is very good to have #ngi0 grants and support (among other initiatives) it is still not enough.
We need to work together, as a society.

@Harald Eilertsen is going to use a NLnet NGI0 grant to advance the development of Hubzilla! Great work, Harald!

I'm really happy to announce that I've qualified for a grant from @NLnet and their @NGI Zero open source funding programme for implementing performance profiling for Hubzilla, and to improve the Superblock addon! These are projects that has been pushed around for some time already, but thanks to NLnet I can now afford to set of the required time to get this out of the way.
This work will help us understand and fix performance issues both during development/testing and in production. The work on the Superblock addon will improve it to gain modern moderation features required by the fediverse today.
Hubzilla is a fediverse platform with a strong focus on owning and controlling your own data. It is one of the longest running active projects in the fediverse, and has pioneered features like cross-site authentication, nomadic identity, comment controls and granular permissions enforced by the server. With functionality way beyond mere sharing of status updates and posts, Hubzilla is an extensible platform that aims to be a more complete home on the web.
