    Phoronix: GNOME Shares Update On Sovereign Tech Fund & Other Development Funding

    Expressed last week was a "major issue" from the GNOME Foundation side with regard to the Sovereign Tech Fund partnership for funding a number of useful improvements to the GNOME software stack just as Germany's STF has been doing to a number of other prominent open-source projects. While there still aren't many clear public details on this "major issue", a Friday night update from the GNOME side seems to indicate all is well and they are also embarking on additional development funding initiatives...

      Well, it's nice that they are now focusing on software development.

      For the fan of a certain project, I guess they are back to seethe. What a thrilling ride.

            In all seriousness though, this all seems pretty exciting! Seems like things are moving the right direction.

                Holly Million, the sanguine shaman, is firing on all cylinders. She brought the German bureaucracy down to its knees all on her own. It's glorious to watch our powerful DEI goddess usher GNOME into an era of abundance.

                  "We hope to significantly increase the amount of development work happening through the Initiative with a process that allows community suggestions for needed work and an application process for grants for proposed work."

                  Sharing the loot with community devs. Definitely a step in the right direction.
