As NLnet transitions from #NGI to the Open Internet Stack (OIS), we'll temporarily pause our bimonthly open calls, with the exception of NGI Taler & Fediversity.
In order to take stock of a decade of the Next Generation Internet initiative, we'll halt our open calls. After the summer the regular application process will re-open with 3 new programs under the new #OIS umbrella. Ongoing projects can continue their important work uninterrupted.

From NGI to the Open Internet Stack: Charting the Next Chapter in Europe’s Digital Future | Next Generation Internet

Since its launch in 2018, the Next Generation Internet (NGI) initiative has empowered over 1,400 open-source projects, laying the groundwork for a more open, inclusive, and human-centric internet in Europe. But as the digital landscape evolves, so must NGI.

@nlnet happy transition!
@nlnet are you open to reconsidering denied proposals then?
