Not even close ๐ I did apply for NLNet at one point but didnโt make the cut, probably because Iโm not in the EU.
Unfortunately funding for OSS in general is just not sustainable full time. And funding for OSS that is not a software dependency (part of the build chain) is nonexistent in the USA (as in $0.00 dollars in funding available).
Pretty much all โrealโ OSS funding in the USA is grants by companies using the software under the hood which just isnโt a thing for software like Voyager.
