My Rust-based project will be supported by the Next Generation Internet program

It's such a joy for me to announce that my open source project written in Rust (Sniffnet — a network monitoring tool) was elected to receive fundings from NLnet.

The NLnet Foundation supports organisations and people who contribute to an open internet for all. It funds projects that help fix the internet through open hardware, open software, open standards, open science and open data.

Their support is made possible by the NGI Zero Commons Fund, whose aim is to help deliver, mature and scale new internet commons across the whole technology spectrum, from libre silicon to middleware, from P2P infrastructure to convenient end user applications.

The NGI Zero Commons Fund exists thanks to financial support from the European Commission's Next Generation Internet programme, an initiative to re-imagine and re-engineer the Internet for the third millennium and beyond, shaping a value-centric, human, and inclusive society for all.

This is an incredible opportunity for me to further improve and expand my project, and it's a strong signal that awesome organisations exist out there to facilitate open source advancement!
