This initiative is form the Open Knowledge Foundation Germany, a foundation that’s like a decade old. One of their projects is the prototype fund. Is it really surprising that the people involved in one initiative of the OKFN are involved in another of their initiatives, especially since it revolves broadly around the same topic - funding public interest software? Are you seriously suggesting that the OKFN is a front to distribute government money to a thinly veiled diversity initiative? Because the language used in your comment strongly suggest so. But I don’t have proof in this case, so I will not claim that this is what you’re doing.
