@aral or it doesn't happen, and none of these things get discussed (which is what's going on in Brazil and I bet a lot of the global South)
FISL died for many reasons, and money was one of them.

@aral @opensourcedesign @simulo @fosdem not silly, but I have to say while I'd love to see a sustainable future without them, right now it feels like being stuck with their money. It's OK if you have other means, not everybody is that lucky unfortunately
@aral @opensourcedesign @simulo @fosdem can you point to any other sources of funding? For events, I'm not aware of anything other than grants from tech philanthropists or big techs. Never seen anything else...
@aral @opensourcedesign @simulo @fosdem honest question: I don't like big techs either. In the absence of any other source of funding, how do you suggest open source/free projects and events sustain themselves?
