NLnet announces funding for 42 FOSS projects

Wed, 23 Apr 2025 16:16:54 +0000

Description:
The NLnet Foundation has announced the projects that have received funding 
from its October call for grant proposals from the Next
Generation Internet (NGI) Zero Commons Fund . The selected projects all 
contribute, one way or another, to the
mission of the Commons Fund: reclaiming the public nature of the
internet. For example, there are people working on interesting open
hardware projects such as the tablet MNT Reform Touch and the Solar
FemtoTX motherboard  a collaborative effort to create an
ultra-low power motherboard that can run on solar power. LLM2FPGA aims to 
enable
running open source LLMs locally on programmable chips ("FPGAs") using
a fully open-source toolchain. bcachefs readies itself as the next generation 
filesystem for Linux, improving
performance, scalability and reliability when compared to legacy
filesystems. In all, 42 projects have been selected for the NGI grants which 
are
between 5,000 and 50,000. See the announcement for the
full list of selected projects, and the current projects page
for other recent projects funded by NLnet.
