Impactful open-source projects
A super-simple example of a project listing website that just asks for PRs to add projects - I made up a cheezy Markdown format for adding foundations, although in the future hope to expand to have a more detailed JSON, with additional metadata about the organizations behind FOSS projects: https://github.com/shanecurcuru/chooseafoundation

Gnome Receives €1M from German Government
(The Sovereign Tech Fund is different beast it seems because it is actually the German state behind)
So most of those non profits look the same, are all lead by some professional–managerial class newcomer who have no real link to computer science. They are not really here to inspire people or recruit contributors, they are people in charge of keeping the money flowing, governance, compliance, etc.
My guess is this new architecture of the open source software ecosystem is an elegant way for tech (IBM, Google, etc.) to keep funding & control over key projects they rely on. While fiscally optimizing the whole thing & getting public money from the EU and others.
This is just my intuition, if someone could confirm...
What am I complaining about?
Those are not free, grassroot projects & organisations anymore. The day you will desperately need free software because the Orwellian architecture of the EU chatcontrol and cyber resilience act will be operational those non profits will most probably take the knee and comply.

How Muay Thai and Powerlifting Made Me a Better Programmer 🥊🏋️♀️👩🏻💻 – Hacktoberfest Wrap-up!
As outlined in my first and second blog posts, I took my time to find repositories I cared about and contributed to them. I did not just pick issues for the sake of getting my 4/4 pull requests. I wanted each of them to be meaningful. I felt accomplished through my small contributions because each of the organizations I contributed to was not random but had a special meaning to me. I spent years writing grant proposals for NGOs working for a good cause in Asia and the Pacific region. Similarly, I narrowed down my focus on contributing to digital public goods created by NGOs that were taking part in Hacktoberfest
