We're approaching the final steps of the Wide Conferences (SFU) feature with the introduction of screen-sharing!
This already worked with the Muji system (P2P), but now you'll be able to stream your screen and webcam directly to the SFU service, which will take care of broadcasting it to everyone in the room... allowing things to scale to many more viewers ✨
There are still a few things to review and fix, but we're almost there 👀
Discord, brace yourself, we're coming! 😸

Radical opensource means credible exit.
What does it look like?
Like the upcoming release of https://xrforge.isvery.ninja :1. visit a URL
2. scroll to bottom
3. download all data
4. download all data incl. platform
5. profit!Anyone can run/modify the code and data. Byebye planned scarcity.

Yay! Proof of concept is taking shape!
I have to admit..its a quite bold take on the #NGI #EU credible-exit-idea:a FOSS XR webplatform (XRForge)..which can also be used as static site generator like #faircamp.
Thanks #nlnet + #janusxr communityfor supporting my efforts!First static output example can be seen here: https://github.com/coderofsalvation/xrforge-website-example

In the new installment of our series on the public funding of open source, Jeffrey McGuire looks at how public money built defenses for open source software way before the law required them

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!

With #Wero becoming more and more available in Europe : How about an open ecosystem as alternative ?
The #NLnet foundation has been putting lots of efforts into establishing @Taler as a common standard for digital payments in Europe. We should all push for more support for this initiative !
Yet another closed-source surveillance ecosystem cannot be the solution !

I've just pushed the code to discover other Libervia instances on LAN. It's not yet possible to connect, but it's a step further in serverless implementation (see https://nlnet.nl/project/ServerlessXMPP/, thanks @nlnet !).
Next step will be actual connection, but this is a big one, with probably accompanying specs.

@murdoc yes... the #OMN is both a collection of grounded social tech projects and a story about why they are needed.
This comes mostly from lived experience, with some academic backup. You are working on a more theoretical level, with an educational path? They can be complementary.
We are waiting on funding for one of our tech projects from #NLnet, but there funding of this kinda thing is non-existent so good chance we don't get the money to do the dev.
Without funding, its likely impossible to motivate people to work on this path... and with money it comes with its own problems, but better problems than nothing.
-
Assuming the 'AI load' argument is true, moving to GitLab, Codeberg, etc. might not be the solution as with sufficient moves they'd face the same problem.
Also, the visibility and discovery/search possibilities get a lot harder.
Hence, federated forges and a fully distributed cross-forge search option that does not rely on a single point of failure is needed.
Now who's funding the remainder of the way to full forge federation for Forgejo?

Filed two more extensions for ejabberd to my ongoing project at NLnet. Fingers crossed!

#UPI #India #NUUP #USSD #NLNet
https://git.sr.ht/~bvkcm/JiuJiuPayLN
JiuJiuPayLN
This application is a modified version of the DemoQRScan application. From LambdaNative It allows you to take a picture, and then scans the picture for a QR code, which it then decodes and examines for a UPI payment URI from which it extracts the payment originator identifier.
It has been produced with the support of NLnet.

it is wild to be the first fediverse funded project by NLnet (2019), and then get 5 more grants accepted!
I love NLnet so much, they've literally allowed me to work on Pixelfed, Loops, FediDB and more full time!
I know a lot of NLnet applications get rejected, but they love me, and I think I know why!
The numbers. Over 1M people have joined Pixelfed.
2k people signed up for loops after I announce it, just a form, in the first 24 hours.
Build, and they will come. And maybe fund. 🚀

#abelujo 🇫🇷 Grosse nouvelle ! Nous sommes honorés de recevoir le soutien de la fondation #nlnet pour le développement d'Abelujo 🥳
La subvention porte sur une dizaine de tâches. + d'infos à venir :)

🇬🇧 🇺🇸 We are thrilled to announce that the NLNet foundation is funding developments for Abelujo, the free software for bookstores.
Stay tuned!

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.

Exciting news: AtomVM has been accepted as an NLnet project through the NGI0 Commons Fund!
“Towards AtomVM v1.0” will help us expand hardware support, polish APIs, and improve security, stability, and performance on the road to a rock-solid 1.0 release.
Thank you to NLnet and NGI Zero for supporting open source, local-first, and embedded BEAM computing.

Can we use more #4opens social versions of working models like #NLnet to mediate the corruption and incompetence that dominates when funding becomes too centralised?
The problem is not simply government involvement, public funding is important. The challenge is the structure around it.
Too much bureaucracy slows development, freeze experimentation and turns living projects into paperwork exercises. Too little accountability creates capture, favouritism and closed networks. The balance matters:
The current #EU funding, like #NGI shows the danger when this balance fails - lots of money moving, but the process rewards safe, institutional and already-legible projects that fail rather than messy grassroots innovation that might work.
The #openweb needs funding paths that work more like commons: Open processes - Transparent decisions - Community review - Diverse participation and thus clear accountability.
A useful tool for this is the #4opens that are not just technical principles. They are social infrastructure for keeping power visible and preventing both state and market capture.

Hi @rafaelmartins @jwildeboer,
I made an even more radical experiment (installing doesn't require #root) and brought it to alpha: https://Seppo.mro.name #Seppo #NGI #NLNet
I held several talks, but have recordings in german only, e.g. https://fair.tube/w/jgF8cFw5u4K1puFNscWcQh
Or english #slides from #fosdem 2025: https://marcus.rohrmoser.name/talks/2025/offdem/slides.pdf -
@EUCommission Sounds fantastic, but wait until you hear about what proper free software projects can do for us! #NLNet and all 😉

There are a couple of projects that explore #ActivityPub in its intended #LinkedData format. Plain JSON is allowed, but the AP's primary notation is using #JSONLD. I think there is a slight uptick in interest for this approach again, coming along with the opportunity to implement the Social API (client-to-server) as intended.
What I really like is that ecosystem tools which aim to ease #fediverse solution development, are gaining an interest. Most notably here is #Fedify imho, who recently received #NLnet funding to build Fedify Studio development platform..

> Currently investigating the #Galene video-conference server to see how it can be integrated in Movim properly.
You can use the work already done for Libervia 2 years ago, with a SFU component using Galène https://www.goffi.org/forge/goffi/libervia-backend/src/branch/main/libervia/backend/plugins/plugin_comp_conferences
And the accompanying spec (that I need to update to re-propose, just need to find a couple of hours): https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/av_conferences.html
