@rriemann @wendyg @thisismissem @EC_NGI I think that's what @NGICommons is meant to be for?

I don't know if anyone has measured it.

This study has been pretty widely cited:

hbswk.hbs.edu/item/open-source

tl;dr all of FOSS is "worth" 8.8 Trillion

It doesn't quite answer the question but the methodology mght be useful.

particularly when you look at the numbers for the 2025 budget and see that more money will go into "AI-genAI / Data / Robotics" than went into the entire lifetime of NGI, with none of the open-source requirements that NLnet mandates.

My article on the topic has a table with the summed up values and percentages per-category:

@ansuz @rriemann @wendyg @thisismissem nice article. You've been very through.

My other concern with EU funding is the centralisation of that. I've looked at getonepass.eu. It's awful to use.

Some cascade funding is on there, but so far the open calls are not relevant.

It's so not geared towards the grassroots funds. I much prefer NLNets process.

@onepict thanks! maybe too thorough 😅

I suppose we'll have to wait and see if any of the time that went into writing it makes a difference. I'm hopeful but not holding my breath
