Daniel Thompson-Yvetot of @TauriApps, a security-minded toolkit for making desktop and mobile apps at #NGIForum23. "Security is not something you trust. You verify. NGI and NLnet enabled us to pay for the first security audit by Radically Open Security.

"With a new NGI0 grant we are working together with the shelved Servo project from Mozilla on Tauri + Servo. In 2024 you can build browsers with Tauri + Servo. So thank you from the community."

Pouhiou of @Framasoft presents @peertube at #NGIFORUM23 "We built a videoplatform based on old internet values such as decentralization. Not one big platform but many small federated platforms." More than a 1000 instances & a million video's. All that in six years and one paid developer. (A 2nd dev recently joined. Yay!)
"With little means we can do a lot in the open source community",

Thank you @onepict and @librecast for your wonderful essay in which you so eloquently make clear that communities are the cornerstone of the next generation internet.

We can't wait to share it after the CfP has closed.

Another big news is that my open source work is now funded for the upcoming year by the wonderful NLnet Foundation @NGIZero . A huge thanks to them. 🙏

Magma is the first outcome of this funding. It actually started as a side-project while working on another project, while creating its documentation. So, be prepared for more in the upcoming months.

Thanks @cbaines for the great write-up on your Guix-Daemon project!
https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2023/a-build-daemon-in-guile/

GNU Guix is a transactional package manager and a distribution of the GNU system that respects user freedom. While much of GNU Guix is implemented in GNU Guile, the guix-daemon is currently implemented in C++. The Guix-Daemon project aims to build a Guile implementation of the guix-daemon and is supported by NGI0 Core.
