Thanks! That is so nice to hear :).
And yes, NGI0 and NLnet are closely linked. NGI Zero is a coalition of non-profits running the NGI0 programmes (see all coalition partners in our bio) and NLnet is part of the coalition. And NLnet runs this Mastodon account. You've made me realize that is not very clear so I've now adjusted the bio to reflect that.

Fourty-five free and open source projects have been selected to receive NGI Zero grants in the February round.
Each of these projects offer a unique contribution to an open, resilient, human-centered internet and a more open information society.
We want to thank the 45 teams and individuals for their efforts to build the Next Generation Internet for us all.
Here is an overview of the projects with a short description https://nlnet.nl/news/2024/20240618-Call-announcement.html

Radically Open Security, the nonprofit computer security company donates 90% of its profits to NLnet. Today @npub1csw…n45f turned 10 years old *and* crossed the magical number of 1 million euro in donations to NLnet.
Happy birthday ROS! And thanks a million :-).
We interviewed ROS co-founder and CEO Melanie Rieback to learn why she decided to give the company such an unusual business model.

Andrew "bunnie" Huang will give a webinar about his project IRIS (Infra-Red, In-Situ) inspection of silicon. A project to facilitate the non-destructive verification of silicon chips.
He'll give a short talk about the project but will leave most of the time for a Q&A as he is interested to hear what people think about IRIS.
Bunnie is an open hardware hacker, and an activist for digital rights.
Join us Thursday May 2, 11.00 CEST. https://nlnet.nl/events/20240502/index.html
