The NGI POINTER program,
funded by the European Commission, is looking for interesting development
project to support. It’s objective is “to support promising
bottom-up projects that are able to build, on top of state-of-the-art
research, scalable protocols and tools to assist in the practical
transition or migration to new or updated technologies, whilst keeping
European Values at the core.” The application period is open; there
must be no end of interesting projects in the free-software space that
would fit within this program’s parameters. (Thanks to Thorsten
Leemhuis).
