A letter from the margins of the #openweb
All the #OMN projects I’ve worked on over the years, from #OGB to #indymediaback, are not directly about social change. They are about creating the possibility of social change. A subtle, but critical difference. We don’t claim to have the answers. What we do offer are tools, networks, and processes that make it easier for people to imagine that the world can be different, and then help them to take the first step. Yet here's the mess that keeps being pushed over us. We are told this […]https://hamishcampbell.com/a-letter-from-the-margins-of-the-openweb/

Can people engage with the #4opens process?
The #4opens is a completely obverse social restating of the #FOSS development model — but with a critical edition: The return of #openprocess, something we’ve lost over the last 10 years due to our reliance on encrypted chat.With this in mind, what is still #blocking the #openweb reboot? One thing I’ve learned from the last five years of the #openweb reboot is this: The #geekproblem is inadequate for the scale of change and challenge we face. Currently, the #geekproblem is a HARD […]https://hamishcampbell.com/can-people-engage-with-the-4opens-process/

My own first attempt to get #dribdat into #NLnet did not go through, but I am thankful to the fantastic feedback also from @ISOCSwitzerland && am encouraging others to discover the funded projects, and consider applying for the next call (deadline June 1) https://nlnet.nl/news/2025/20250401-call.html
@KazukyAkayashi @feudjais j'ai souvent entendu du bien de Movim côté UI/UX, peux-tu décrire ce que tu n'aimes pas ?
Sinon j'ai développé avec Libervia une passerelle ActivityPub <=> XMPP grâce à une subvention NLnet/NGi0 qui devrait fonctionner avec Movim. Je suis très pris et je n'ai pas encore pu faire une release officielle, mais des gens utilisent déjà.

Good news everyone, Movim 0.30 codename Encke is finally there!
This release is actually way bigger than you might think! Movim is bringing group-call to all your devices and still rely 100% on the XMPP standard (it is even compatible with @dino ).
In this new version you'll also find a lot of improvements in the UI, a better integration of the Stories and a new way to personalize how Movim looks .
Thanks to @nlnet and for their support .
Share the good new around and invite your friends to join Movim !

The #fedivers is now shift to the more #mainstreaming individualism due to the influx of users and funding #NLnet #EU
We need a free/libre fork of #Android for the public commons. Google cannot be trusted.
Maybe that could be #lineageos or #Graphene, but given that they build on top of Android rather than driving the core development, I'm not certain they would be enough as it stands.

@maeool Je découvre que #Cartes va être financé via #NLnet : Bravo ! https://nlnet.nl/project/Cartes/

Stickery są z tej kolekcji #nlnet : https://nlnet.nl/gallery/hex.html. jeśli ktoś bardziej od przypinek lubi naszywki to kiedyś robiłem takie na rzepie i mogę ew. odkurzyć ten projekt.
@josemurilo Good points :)
@volkris the issue with your comment is that the #Fediverse comes from a long history, and it embodies this history, which is where the value comes from.
Yes, it comes from meany sub cultures, these are better described as communities rather than users. Hope that makes sense.
Keeping mess is grassroots cultural, allowing it to be messy is neoliberal #mainstreaming?
I agree with your point about the devs and funding from #NGI and #NLnet an on rolling mess.
2025.03.1 release of #Overte is ready! It has significant number of improvements and bug fixes, including Alezia's redesigned Places app including portals. Thanks to HifiExperiments and #NLnet foundation grant this release has improved TAA anitaliasing, third person camera clipping and large refactor of the codebase, making future improvements easier. #foss #vr #opensource
Overte's V8 script engine is very versatile. Can it run Doom though? Thanks to Ada's recent work on Canvas API and script-accessible textures grant from #NLnet foundation, on feature/canvas-entity branch it's now possible to paint directly to textures from #javascript and #webassembly . #foss #opensource #wasm #vr
»The #EU is paying a fortune for broken commercial software, criticizes #MichielLeenaars of the Dutch #NLnet Foundation in an interview with #Netzpolitikorg. Together with his team, he supports #opensource, #free #solutions — funded by the EU. But that could soon come to an end.« https://netzpolitik.org/2025/open-source-funding-on-the-brink-delivering-whats-needed-to-make-europe-sovereign/?Fedizen.EU #Fedizen #Fediverse #ActivityPub #News
