EU NGI funding cut engagement opportunity

[Juliana Sims]

Greetings comrades,

As many of you are likely already aware, the European Union has 
recently made plans to cut funding to its Next Generation Internet 
(NGI) initiative which funds hundreds of FOSS projects, including many 
related to Guix itself.  The current plan is to shift these funds into 
artifical intelligence research.

Petites Singularités has started an open letter to call on the EU to 
restore this funding.  I would very much support Guix signing onto it.  
The document, and instructions for participating in this effort, can be 
found here: https://pad.public.cat/lettre-NCP-NGI

For full disclosure, my work on the Shepherd is funded by NGI through 
NLnet.  While my funding is secure, it would be a tragedy if the 
opportunity which I have been given to build something really cool and 
(I hope) revolutionary were denied to others.

In solidarity,
Juli
