NGI Zero open source funding @NGIZero@mastodon.xyz

Hi there! Are you an avid free software user or open source developer? NGI Zero is an R&D funding program for open source software & hardware to enhance online privacy and improve open search and discovery. Together with @fsfe, @APC, Radically Open Security, Translate House and many more we fund and support projects like @pixelfed, @delta, @cryptpad...

Jshelter is a cross-browser extension to make javascript less exploitable. The developers recently submitted a position paper about JShelter for CNIL Privacy Research Day 2022. They discovered a loophole in the sensor timestamps that lets any page observe the device boot time if sensor APIs are enabled in Chromium-based browsers. JShelter provides a fingerprinting report and other feedback that can be used by future security research and data protection authorities -> https://jshelter.org/paper2022/

Happy to say the recordings of our latest webinars on conflict-free replicated data types (#crdt) and #opensource business organization are now online! Check it out on @ngizero@conf.tube, https://conf.tube/w/tCQesJaE8u6siTM56s4vUK and https://conf.tube/w/4N4nJLkZAwkemb2xpzUD7o (still transcoding!)

Lunchtime reminder: tomorrow from 11 to 12.30 we are having a (freely accessible) webinar on #opensource business development! Together with experts from, among others, the Free Software Foundation Europe, the WCAG-auditing Accessibility.nl-foundation and Translate House, we explore important requirements for growing open source development into a viable business. Check it out (no signup required)! See you there :) -> https://nlnet.nl/events/20220315/WebinarBusinessOrganization/index.html

Thanks so much to everyone presenting & contributing to what we thought was a great & insightful webinar! 🙌 As mentioned (probably too much :), together with open source developers of projects like m-ld, TypeCell, Naishio & Hyper Hyper Space we discussed the future of conflict-free replicated data types (CRDT) and distributed computing for essential use cases like real-time collaboration/note taking, video streaming, instant messaging and much more. The recording of the webinar will be up soon!

Last warning ;) In half an hour we are happy to have FOSS projects like m-ld, TypeCell, Naisho & Hyper Hyper Space talk about conflict-free replicated data types and the future of collaborative editing & communication. Join us here, no sign-up needed -> https://nlnet.nl/events/20220308/CRDT/index.html. Can't make it? No worries, we will make the recording available on the PeerTube-channel https://conf.tube afterwards :) See you there!

In case you forgot ;) Tomorrow from 10 to 12 join us as we talk about conflict-free replicated data types and the amazing work by open source projects like Naishio, TypeCell, m-ld, Hyper Hyper Space.

See how their state-of-the-art work helps build distributed, more secure and privacy-friendly ways for essential use cases like real-time collaboration.

No sign-up or registration needed, simply hop in! -> https://nlnet.nl/events/20220308/CRDT/index.html

Our #opensource business development webinar is in two weeks, but *today* the NGI TETRA initiative also kicks off a possibly interesting webinar series on finding (and acquiring) public funding! For #NGI-projects looking for further support, check it out here -> https://business.ngi.eu/join-now/webinars/public-funding-masterclass-your-gateway-to-public-funding-in-europe-/

We are very excited to welcome the makers of Naishio (combining end-to-end encryption with CRDT's) and Hyper Hyper Space (secure append-only distributed data layer) to our webinar March 8 on CRDT's! To avoid more acronyms: conflict-free replicated data types are important for real-time collaborative note applications, streaming apps & many more services that do not rely on a centralized (and tracker-heavy) service provider.
