Long before the EU's Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), open source communities were already building tools to improve software transparency, track vulnerabilities and strengthen software supply chains. The latest article in Linux Magazine's NGI0 series explores why this work matters.

Projects like CodeSupply, ScanCode and VulnerableCode are helping turn digital autonomy into practice.

We (@aronschaub and me) finally started with the work on #TinkerFlow and have our first three blog posts of it at out new blog: https://tinkerflow.eu/#blog.
We can't really show much at the moment because it's a lot in background and refactoring but we're making progress!
Thanks again @nlnet for making this possible!
#ngi0 #nlnet #opensource #godot
Btw: is there a good plugin/tool for connecting hugo-blog system with Mastodon and sync the posts?

New version of ejabberd is out and fixes a security vulnerability. Amongst many other things my mod_invites got a good deal of improvements, a web-admin integration, a new reset password token and a page where users can create invites via web (if that’s allowed). Go get it while it’s hot!
Once again, thanks @nlnet for funding this work!

The second article in our series on digital autonomy looks into the open source software supply chain.
Author Jeffrey McGuire talks to Armijn Hemel (DeviceCode) & Philippe Ombredanne (AboutCode). Both have a long track record building tools to manage the FOSS supply chain.
Read "The Answer Was Already on the Shelf: How public money built defenses for open source software (way) before the law required them" on the @linuxmagazine website.

In March #Heliboard asked people to help gather gesture data to implement a #FOSS alternative to the closed gesture typing library Heliboard currently relies on. Since then over 700.000(!) examples were submitted. The new 4.0 release includes opt-in background data gathering in the hopes to collect 2 million examples by November. If you wish to contribute see @theeclecticdyslexic 's post https://mstdn.social/@theeclecticdyslexic/116897291480776538. They've also made an explainer video on how privacy is preserved.

From Tunisia, Nizar Kerkeni on strengthening free technological solutions that are accessible to all
> With the dominance of GAFAM [Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft] and other centralised, proprietary social media platforms that are everywhere, it is vital to adopt a national strategy to free ourselves from this new form of dictatorship.

FediMod FIRES on building better and decentralised social media applications
> FediMod FIRES is a server that aims to make it easy to share intelligence and recommendations around trust and safety between Fediverse services... [So] it's essentially software for distributing moderation recommendations and advisories to Fediverse server admins.

XEP-0516 "XMPP Decentralized ID (XID)" that I've authored as part of my work on metadata reduction/serverless (https://nlnet.nl/project/ServerlessXMPP/, thanks NLnet!) has been published.
The goal is to have your XMPP identity independent of your DNS-based domain. At some point, it should be possible to have your XMPP account independent of your server.
Note that current version has issues and will be updated soon.
Work is in progress on XMPP deeper decentralization.

Congratulations!
I am really delighted with @nlnet decision to select @drfed for an #NGI0 grant. Having good quality developer tools for creating #ActivityPub based solutions is so important for a healthy #fediverse developer ecosystem.
To anyone reading, bookmark the website..
Fedify Studio is focused on alleviating the most pressing issue of "Why is ActivityPub development so frustratingly hard?" that makes it unattractive for newcomers to adopt the technology. And addresses topics of:
- Protocol complexity
- #Interoperability hell
- Debugging nightmare
- Limited visibility#Fedify from the very start has paid attention to ease of use for fediverse solution developers, not just by their library codebase, but with comprehensive documentation and tools to guide people along. Kudos here to @hongminhee who started this great initiative!

67 projects will receive NGI0 grants to support the great work they are doing to keep our internet fair, open, resilient and secure with us, the users, at the center. Together they are fixing the internet across the entire technology stack, from open hardware to end user applications. Each project is free/libre/open source meaning everyone can use, study, share and modify them. A true digital commons.

We're temporarily pausing the bimonthly open calls with the exception of #NGI Taler & Fediversity. We'll be taking stock of a decade of Next Generation Internet. After the summer the application process will re-open with 3 new programs under the Open Internet Stack (OIS) umbrella.
Ongoing projects are not affected and can continue their important work of providing the building blocks for an open, resilient, and secure internet for all.
