@db0 I hear you.

This is why must fund things for the common good from the commons. But we’re not. Not really. Not as we should be. (We’re in the same boat with Small Technology Foundation as we build the Small Web with zero EU funding.)

This is what I told the EU parliament a few years ago. It hasn’t made a difference as far as I can tell:

PS. Thank you for your kind words about the talk :)

@aral OK effectively sadly no actual solutions yet outside of the startup play :(

While criticism of the current system is important, I feel it's largely toothless if valid solutions outside it don't exist.

I wonder if something like the startup play, but incubated by non-profit orgs would work. Basically what NLNet is doing but without being as task-oriented and more of a long-term incubation until profitability. (I've already read your post about your NLNet troubles btw)
