Next up was my other colleague from the funding coordination team, @sonkiski She started by laying out the problem in stark terms; just 3000 OS developers created 8.8 trillion in value, but only get an average of $3200 a year for their effort She then digs into government as a solution to this issue, specifically looking at different European programs to fund OSS & the new cyber resilience act forcing digital product owners to make public their software dependency graph By analyzing an OS funding program from schleswig holstein, she found that majority of the dependencies were outside the EU jurisdiction. So channeling the funds would either require high maintenance overhead or else a consultant who manages it This is where she believes that Ethereum can add value, by becoming the rails thru which gov programs distribute funding to dependencies She tested this hypothesis through interviews with government software funding agencies. Most initially responded that Ethereum was a volatile coin and were unaware of stablecoins entirely Since all governments want to see pilots, she concluded with an example of UNICEF deploying funds through @dripsnetwork , an already live initiative Her full research is coming out in time for UN OS week in NY, love the detailed research done so far

hi! i left @zora pretty recently as well as some other folks. extremely grateful to @js_horne and crew for bringing me on this wild ride, the original mission of a fundamentally less extractive internet is something that did - and still does - mean a lot to me
