I thought I might just ask; fedi's as good a place to ask as any other.
Are there grants for #freesoftware and #opensource *activism* -- not software projects -- open to individuals not in the US or the EU?
I have big dreams of starting a project I really intended to be the go-to place for 11-14 year olds who're interested in free software activism, but I need financial resources to make it happen.
My budget, at most, is 55,000 EUR p.a., maybe a little more for the first year.

Switzerland plans a gradual shift from Microsoft products to reduce dependency, citing digital sovereignty and long-term control over public IT systems 🇨🇭

Offener Brief: „Meine Barmer“ auf Custom-ROMs
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
weshalb verhindern Sie, dass die App "Meine Barmer" (MB) auf Custom-ROMs läuft?
Vorne angefangen: Einer meiner Kunden ist auf ein neues Smartphone umgestiegen. Er hat sich aus mehreren guten Gründen für ein Custom-ROM [1] entschieden. Alle (!) Apps (auch Banking etc.) konnten wir migrieren, alle außer Barmer.
Auf Ihrer Website fand ich den Hinweis "Mit alternativen Betriebssystemen wie zum Beispiel Lineage, Ubuntu Touch, Sailfish oder Replicant ist eine Nutzung von Meine Barmer nicht möglich."
Wer auch immer diesen Text verfasst hat (vielleicht eine KI?), war nicht durch allzu viel Fachwissen be

From August 17, Atlassian says metadata and, depending on plan and settings, in-app data from Jira, Confluence, and Jira Service Management may be used to improve AI experiences across its products.
If your knowledge lives inside someone else’s platform, who decides what it is used for next?
If that conversation is starting on your side, this is a useful place to start:

I stopped using #Google and any other #bigtech products a long, long time ago (2015-ish? maybe earlier). It's time for everyone else to move away too, and this includes #Apple, Microslop (#Microsoft), #Meta, #Amazon and many others.
ONLY use #openSource products:
- use #linux
- use degoogled Android ROMs like @GrapheneOS, and many others for any Android phone
- use @fdroidorg as your store
- use #OpenStreetMap clients (like @organicmaps)
- music: @powerampache
Reply here or DM me for guidance
W3C is very pleased to announce that the @sovtechfund has launched a pilot program to support independent #OpenSource maintainers participation in the work of our groups, including training, mentoring, and financial support to make sustained engagement possible. It is really wonderful to see efforts from donors to recognize the role that open standards play.
The call for applications is open until 19 May.

Frage: Wer ist aus Eurer Sicht die "deutsche Karen Hao" oder der "deutsche Cory Doctorow", wenn es um das Thema KI geht?
Gesucht wird eine Speaker:in, die kritisch beleuchten kann, wie sich KI wie Claude etc. auf die Softwareentwicklung insbesondere im Open-Source-Bereich auswirkt. Es geht um Fragen wie "Was ist Open Source in Zeiten von Agentic Engineering?" und "Wie wirkt sich der Preisverfall bei Softwareerstellung auch auf die Open-Source-Branche aus?"
