Study: Public services need to nurture and sustain vulnerable small projects

European public services should focus not only on innovative new projects, but also on funding maintenance of vulnerable small open source projects they rely on, a study for the European Commission’s Open Source Programme Office (EC-OSPO) concludes.

I really hope this fund will be created. Sustainable funding like the https://opentech.fund would help many projects.
