Dear Jan,


we hope you’ve had a nice summer, and you and everyone else involved with
your project are doing well. At our end we've been very busy with booting
up a host of new projects - people continue to amaze us with fresh and
exciting endeavours. Check out the whole list on
https://nlnet.nl/project/current.html).

In addition we have (as always) been working hard to secure future funding,
and not only have we secured funding for another four years of open calls -
we'll be launching some new targeted funds soon as well (among others on
digital payment methods, mobile telephony and hosting). For you, it
obviously shouldn't matter - you can always just submit your plan in the
same place (https://nlnet.nl/propose) and let us sort it out...

( In case your current grant is near the end of your work, and you have
more ideas: the next deadline is October 1st )

As you know, for us accessibility is very important - we want the next
generation of the internet to be inclusive. Are you still wondering if this
is for you? A quick way to learn a lot about accessibility, is the free
webinar we are organising this Thursday September 21 at 13:00 CEST. More
information below.

We have also gathered info on some upcoming events where you might bump
into us:

- November 10-11: SFSCON in Bolzano, Italy
- November 11-12: OpenAlt 2023 in Brno, Czech Republic
- November 15-16: NGI Forum in Brussels, Belgium
