So I had some more thoughts about FOSS sustainability. I've had them for some time. But this weeks issues reminded me of them.
So here's a mild spruik for some of the orgs who make my digital spaces for myself and my project and also package @librecast

Oh, this is nice. One of the things on my eternally growing "to do" list is to dig into GNOME Crosswords. It's one of those "people doing cool things in open source just because they can" things that I find inspiring... #GNOME #OpenSource #Outreachy
GNOME is Sponsoring an Outreachy Internship Project for GNOME Crosswords!
We are excited to announce that the GNOME Foundation is sponsoring an Outreachy internship project for the June 2025 to August 2025 internship round!
Outreachy provides internships to people subject to systemic bias and impacted by underrepresentation in the technical industry where they are living.
The intern will work with mentors Jonathan Blandford, Federico Mena Quintero, and Tanmay Patil on the project Add Wordlist Scoring to the GNOME Crosswords Editor.
The intern’s blog will soon be added to Planet GNOME, where you can follow their project updates and learn more about them. Stay tuned!
We’re thrilled to welcome our June 2025 #Outreachy interns!
