      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.

         I didn&#x27;t know about this but of NLnet history. I assumed you had been mistaken so I looked it up. That&#x27;s really cool!

            Yes, it&#x27;s absolutely true. We used to provide internet connectivity and fund open source projects with the profits. Now we fund open source projects as a service and from donations.
