Words can't describe how ecstatic I am to see @sovtechfund funding @gnome

The GNOME project is ridiculously resource-efficient in terms of delivery. Investing the same amount in proprietary software wouldn't yield nearly the same results.

With this grant, the STF helps make GNOME more accessible, sustainable, secure, AND one step closer to mobile. The impacts are absolutely massive, and it's only a beginning.

This is what it looks like when Europe takes sovereignty seriously.

@thibaultamartin @sovtechfund @gnome unfortunately this is still only Germany, not really Europe. Germany taking responsibility for the world's digital infrastructure.

There's also a post by the GNOME project about this work from a few months ago, check that out as well: https://foundation.gnome.org/2023/11/09/gnome-recognized-as-public-interest-infrastructure/
