As someone who had their first internet connection through NLnet in the 90s (later UUnet I think?), I’m so pleasantly surprised the impact that the organization has for open source projects globally.

The more I actually look at projects I care about the more and more I'm noticing just how extensive their support is. I wish more governments and philanthropists would do like them.

I didn't know about this but of NLnet history. I assumed you had been mistaken so I looked it up. That's really cool!
