       Is it just me, or #german the eu #foss  capital of EU?  I see a lot of people from there being active in the community. They even have their own SDF (https://sdfeu.org/w/). If it is true, why is that? I know they don't take kindly of google earth and paying by cash - is there some connection?

       @mms if not the capital at least the center. France also has a lot of development next door with organizations like #framasoft and others, and similar with the Netherlands and #nlnet.  I'm too geographically and culturally seperated to really know why, but I'd theorize it's the love of committees and bureaucracy and history driven fear of single organizations dominating society too much as well as wanting alternatives to US monopolies. Plus Germany has more funds than most to support nonprofits.
