Eleven new projects for NGI Pilots
Each pilot has dedicated part of its budget — kindly provided by the European Commission — for supporting smaller projects that contribute to these goals. VoWiFi Watchdog exposes geoblocking measures and deprecated security settings with mobile providers, so that mobile users better understand which provider to avoid. As the name already subtly hints at, Taler-Dolibarr Integration will provide a comprehensive module to integrate the privacy-preserving payment system GNU Taler with Dolibarr, an open-source Enterprise Resource Planning used by many small businesses around the world. xBSD porting and packaging will make sure that the entire Taler software stack is natively available on a number of operating systems beyond the already available (and obviously popular) Linux operating system — NetBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSD and Apple's MacOS X. SelfPrivacy Catalog will extend SelfPrivacy, a free software solution that helps you set up and manage your self-hosted services directly from a mobile app — providing an alternative mechanism to Fediversity's hosting stack. The NGI pilot programmes NGI Taler, NGI Fediversity and NGI Mobifree are possible with financial support from the European Commission's Next Generation Internet programme, under the aegis of DG Communications Networks, Content and Technology.
