Reach the @EUCommission to ask for sustainable funding for #freesofware ‼️

As individual, contacting European representatives is helpful to shift opinions. As the allocation of funds for #HorizonEU 2025 is still going on, there is still a chance to get funds available for @EC_NGI

@EC_Commissioner_Vestager

All what we ever needed was about 20.000€ for the most awesome fediverse software you can think off.

Horizon is not the thing for incubation. We do not have payed jobs for lobbyists who build consortiums and do a month paperwork.
There is absolutely _nothing_ to get things started (applied 5 times in 3 different teams for nothing, only waste of time) -

We have nothing and all community events in Open Protocols were payed by our private money until nothing was left. I did always give, EU always fucked up democracy.
One day this will get violent and last at „Public Spaces“ AMS, I described why in detail https://video.publicspaces.net/w/9USsJ37cHVy4tY9Pn7DX2X

Our events are all free for anybody.

We are neither the exclusive Google Conf nor do we extort @EC_Commissioner_Breton

We do not want to be the slaves of the EU-hypercapitalist walled-gardens!
United in Diversity they said.
Lostt all trust in the „EU“.

I ended up writing a case for @EUCommission not just to keep investing in @EC_NGI , but also to ditch Microsoft 365 for its own use, end instead embrace Nextcloud. We could have an open source software equivalent of the Airbus consortium, and break the Redmond monopoly! cc @pluralistic as the go-to tech monopoly expert.
