And this funding will help me dedicate more time to releasing a visual browser in reasonable time. + +As part of this I am actively working to professionalize [Rhapsode](https://rhapsode-web.org/), [Amphiarao](https://rhapsode-web.org/amphiarao), [Haphaestus](https://haphaestus.org/), & the entire "[Argonaut Constellation](https://argonaut-constellation.org/)"'s online presence which I've moved from a [homeserver](https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2018/09/how-to-build-a-lowtech-website.html) to a [Xen VM](https://xenproject.org/) at [Rimu Hosting](https://rimuhosting.com/) [Auckland](https://www.newzealand.com/us/auckland/) which'll help me share the management. Right now I'm deploying [eMail](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2821) & [XMPP](https://xmpp.org/rfcs/) communication via [Maddy](https://maddy.email/) & [Snikket](https://snikket.org/), then I'll start deploying start deploying [SourceHut](https://sourcehut.org/) microservices for codehosting. Nothing too complex to manage, I want to be focusing on the client software! + +Furthermore [NLnet](https://nlnet.nl/)'s partners will help us establish some organizational structure we can use to gather [future funding](Funding free software). Which would hopefully be spent keeping Haphaestus functioning, enabling a more diverse range of devs to ensure computers work better for them, exploring similar projects, and funding upstream dependencies. + +I am profoundly grateful to NLnet with all the assistance they & their partners can provide to help Haphaestus become the best it can be, whilst providing a solid foundation for future projects mine or others! Thank you! -- 2.30.2
