#WSocial will open up their beta program today… and I have a SCOOP for you: it appears that they have quietly gone closed-source!

We're happy to share that 67 free and open source projects have been awarded NGI Zero support. We want to thank them for their contribution to fixing the internet by righting one wrong at a time.
The projects will receive financial and practical support from the NGI Zero Commons Fund, NGI Taler and NGI Fediversity.
All programs kindly made possible with funding from the @EUCommission by way of @EC_DIGIT

Come over to meet the projects!
