@wendyg @thisismissem Like so many of us are really cheap.

But the work that @NGIZero supports is amazing, so many projects. Lot of us still in an early stage. But through it folks like me and MissEm get a bit of funding.

"So many of us are really cheap" made me lol so badly.

Because, yes. Compared to the amount of tax money we give out to MS and AMZ, we are incredibly effective with little money.

@evilham @wendyg @thisismissem @NGIZero We're spread out across Europe, not all of us live in big cities.

Some of us work in remote areas, online.

At a time when the EU was pondering how to stop the depopulation of areas due to brain drain, what we do seems like it could be a part of the solution.

Not as attractive as big 🦄 or 🦓.

@onepict @evilham @thisismissem @NGIZero When I said "we" I meant everyone - the economy built on FOSS benefits all of society. Cheap even at a bigger price!

I hate that things work this way, but a big epiphany I had when dealing even a little bit with budgetary bureaucracy is that you absolutely can scupper efforts by asking for too little.
