Bio
We are NLnet foundation. We support organisations and people who contribute to an open internet for all. If you are working on a project that helps fix the internet through open hardware, open software, open standards, open science and open data, we invite you to apply for a grant.
We're lead of the @NGIZero coalition which runs several programmes to fund those who are building free and open source technologies for the Next Generation Internet.
After an historical contribution to the early internet in Europe in the 1980's, we've been financially supporting the open internet since 1997.
We like hex stickers.

The Flow Battery Research Collective (FBRC) are building an open source battery. Technology writer Koen Vervloesem did a nice write-up about their #FOSDEM talk in the Energy devroom. FBRC works on redox flow batteries which are better suited for long-term, stationary storage and less hazardous than Li-ion batteries. FBRC plan to democratize flow battery technology by developing an open source flow battery, starting with a development kit.
We are having some trouble with our instance and can't respond to any @mentions :'(. Apologies for the impoliteness. We're working on it.
Dear #FOSDEM volunteers and especially the year-round volunteers, thank you so much for what was, as always, an amazing experience. The way you bring the #FOSS community together is of inestimable value. You give us a chance to meet people and projects in real life. And though we love the internet, this connection in physical space can not be replaced by anything. Thank you so much for all that you do and we wish you all some well-deserved rest.

@internet_nl helps you check whether your internet is up to date. As of today RPKI test results will be part of the total test score of Internet.nl. Resource Public Key Infrastructure is a technique intended to prevent certain routing leaks and -hijacks. This means that domain names who do not pass the RPKI test, will not be able to get a 100% score. You can run tests at https://internet.nl/ & don't forget to notify your hoster if your domain doesn't get a 100% score.

We're organizing two #BoF rooms at #FOSDEM and you are very welcome to come by. There will be some drinks and simple snacks but mostly it's the possibility to meet each other face to face. On Saturday there's the NGI Zero Network meetup and on Sunday the NLnet office hour. Both are at 13.00 in room AW1.121.
For these and all other NGI Zero related activities at FOSDEM see: https://nlnet.nl/events/20250201/FOSDEM/index.html
