No one has been fired for sponsoring an IBM (RedHat) project. Well done!

The STF are woke politologists cashing in on the hard labor of open source volunteers.
The STF had no impact whatsoever so far. Flatpak is the first project that makes some sense.

The STF is run by politologists with no clue. They fund flashy web apps that they "understand" and packaging.
All the industry money goes to packaging already. They should fund foundational small C/C++ projects that are not funded by the Linux Foundation etc.
Small C/C++ projects in general are treated like dirt. They get no funding but everyone relies on them. Occasionally champagne sipping SBOM industry shills draw a funny comic about the dependencies, cash in on their foundation salaries and treat the projects as "materials".
The whole OSS scene is dominated by grifters any hyenas.
The C/C++ projects should adopt the PyPI strategy: Insert exploits and segfaults, write huge mea culpa articles and then get industry funding.
