It would be great if Codeberg asked up to 300 k€ from https://sovereigntechfund.de/en/challenges/ . "Improve FOSS Developer Tooling" seems to be our core business!
I escalated this issue to a private repository of the Codeberg e.V. (the association behind Codeberg) for some further discussion and as it is effective and appropriate so as to alert fellow members and elected representatives while being 100% certain that the message has reached them.
For members, the thread can be found here: Codeberg-e.V./Discussion#97
As I believe that Forgejo and Codeberg are focusing on separate things, even if they are still close to one another, I decided to share create an issue under https://codeberg.org/forgejo/sustainability as well: forgejo/sustainability#13
If any of the issues seem redundant, feel free to close them without further discussion on my end.
FWIW Codeberg is a beneficiary of the grant awarded last month by NLnet (50K€).
I think this call for application is very relevant to Codeberg now because it is the umbrella organization for Forgejo. Before Forgejo it was just using a technology and not making it. Now that Forgejo is distributed and created within Codeberg, it is in scope for the first two challenges required to apply:
It took me a while to figure out where the link to the application platform is (suprisingly hidden):

Keep in mind:
Prohibition of duplicate funding: Funding by the Sovereign Tech Fund is prohibited if other public entities are already paying or have paid for grants or investments for the identical activities.
It stands to reason that a grant application for the exact same workplan would not be legitimate. I'm sure some organizations do that anyway and expect they won't be discovered. But since the Forgejo workplan and application for NLnet is publicly readable by anyone, there is no risk of that happening 😄
Probably too late for this round, but... see e.g. Codeberg-CI/feedback#116
In other words, "the same thing" from a user perspective can include multiple entities with non-overlapping work plans.
@jfinkhaeuser Someone has to actually find this (✅), talk about it with the people that run the non-profit and discuss a way forward regarding a proposal.
It's indeed way too late, unfortunately.
