$21M for open source but $16B for Ukraine. I imagine if they gave $16B to open source that we'd be in a much better place economically.

- fgonzag 5y agoGovernments need to start treating open source in a similar manner to academia and research. A grant based system for open source projects of measurable impact. We need to fund those developers so they can continue working on their projects without economic constraints. I concur it would contribute to significant economic growth.
