Hi everyone!
While O₄FFDEM is still open until we’ve gathered its outcomes (a nice minimum would be to write a report to tell what’s followed the session), it’s now time to start preparing the next OFFDEM
Last week, we’ve learned that NGI fundings will not be reissued in the next Horizon programme. This means that the largest european public cascade funding is getting shut down. This is a very severe hit to the FLOSS funding, thus a time to get back to thinking how to finance our projects. The discussion goes much further than only funding and than strictly european software. It’s a matter of internationalist software community for which OFFDEM was specifically initiated.
Therefore, 6 years after the first OFFDEM session on this very topic and while has also entered a new cycle, we’re calling for a new gathering. Back to the roots, helping figuring out the years to come for our community while looking back at all previous outcomes to go forward: meeting O₅F₂FDEM, pentaoxygen difluoride.
