Germany to Fund Open Source Software Maintainers Through New Fellowship Program
Germany's Sovereign Tech Fund unveils a program to fund maintainers of open source projects that's expected to be operational by year's end.

Do you have to be European to get funded?
No.

Take a look.
Though, if you have not heard of the program before, you're probably not involved with a project that qualifies.
We invest in projects that benefit and strengthen the open source ecosystem. Examples include libraries for programming languages, package managers, open implementations of communication protocols, administration tools for developers, digital encryption technologies, and more
Wow, some countries are trying to make encryption tech illegal while Germany is just throwing money at tech that could bypass those laws. Amazing.
Some german politicians have also tried time and time again to establish data retention policies because "think of the kids" argument blablabla. But so far they have failed to do that as it was proclaimed unconstitutional by our federal court. Some politicians play with the idea from time to time tho.
Jesus 50,000 minimum and conference attendance covered? Sign me up, see you at CCC!
You just have to sit while peeing if you're a guy
Great at nighttime when half asleep, don't need to turn on the light.
Okay sounds real enough here you go 💰
I made my German girlfriend watch me pee while standing to show that it's a controlled stream.
Then she pulled out her funnel and made me watch her pee while standing.
Yeah checks out here's your funds 💰
What? Why?
Less splash
German guys sit
I had no idea. Even though I've been travelling Germany regularly, I have never heard of or noticed anything related to this weird trend. However, multiple sources including the survey data that this article is based on confirms the rumor.
I'm still thinking "why?" ...
Meanwhile the Germans are cursing you
I've read a book on it.
It wasn't particularly good.
But I did.
Also all cultures are weird
