As someone who had their first internet connection through NLnet in the 90s (later UUnet I think?), I’m so pleasantly surprised the impact that the organization has for open source projects globally.
- junon 17d agoI didn't know about this but of NLnet history. I assumed you had been mistaken so I looked it up. That's really cool!
- NLnet 17d agoYes, it's absolutely true. We used to provide internet connectivity and fund open source projects with the profits. Now we fund open source projects as a service and from donations. https://nlnet.nl/foundation/history/ https://nlnet.nl/foundation/history/
- loufe 17d agoThe more I actually look at projects I care about the more and more I'm noticing just how extensive their support is. I wish more governments and philanthropists would do like them.
