NLnet announces funding for 62 projects

The NLnet Foundation has announced
a new group of projects receiving funding through the Next
Generation Internet (NGI) Zero Commons Fund.

Free and open source technologies, open standards, open hardware and
open data help to strengthen the open web and the open internet. The
projects selected by NLnet all contribute in their own way to this
important goal, and will empower end users and the community at large
on different layers of the stack. For example, there are people
working a browser controlled ad hoc cellular network (Wsdr) which can be used to
create small mobile networks where they are needed. The open hardware
security key Nitrokey is
aiming for formal certification of their implementation of the FIDO2
standard, and will be adding encrypted storage
capabilities. There are also more applied technologies: the high
end open hardware microscope OpenFlexure will
enable among others e-health use cases such as telepathology, allowing
medical professionals to work together to help people in more remote
areas.
