2 notable things about this:
-
What they call a successful comunity project are hard core infrastructural things let by prominent institutions so maybe the main question to solve is what do we they call community, is it comparable to what we call community.
-
Secondly the last paragraph :
" Call to Action: Community Involvement Needed
We believe the input and engagement of our community are crucial to the success of this review process. We invite all members of the RIPE community to provide feedback, share ideas, and offer suggestions on how we can improve the CPF. Your involvement will help us better understand the community’s needs and ensure that our projects are impactful and sustainable. We will be organising a RIPE NCC Open House towards the end of the year to start the discussion and continue these talks at RIPE 90 in May 2025.
The selection committee will be heavily involved in the review process, and we look forward to collaborating with the community. Together, we can ensure the long-term success and effectiveness of the RIPE NCC Community Projects Fund."
@becha How do you think we could fruitfully engage with this, do you think it would be a worthwile topic for next OFFDEM (that is focusing on community funding issues):
