> Dozens of organisations have joined [Open Forum Europe](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/openforum-europe_digitalsovereignty-opensource-eupolicy-activity-7388492503487889408-jOyO) in bringing the EU’s attention to the chronic lack of funding for the maintenance of critical open source projects which form the infrastructure of our society. As OFE excellently puts it, here is the situation:
> > The challenge: Open source software forms the invisible backbone of Europe's digital infrastructure. Yet the maintenance and security of these foundational technologies remain severely underfunded. Over time, chronic under-investment in open source software maintenance can lead to increased systemic exposure to risk, leaving governments, businesses, and citizens vulnerable to security threats, supply chain disruptions, and vendor lock-in.

> Inspired by the [Lanyard](https://github.com/Phineas/lanyard) project, [mdotp](https://github.com/gingershaped/mdotp) is a web service that exposes your _presence_ (whether you're online or offline) through a convenient REST API, without any of the hassle required to authenticate and interact with a homeserver. Simply join [#mdotp:gingershaped.computer](https://matrix.to/#/#mdotp:gingershaped.computer) and your presence will become available at `https://mdotp.ginger.services/api/v1/user/<your mxid>`! [Here's the response for my account](https://mdotp.ginger.services/api/v1/user/@ginger:gingershaped.computer), for example. A WebSocket endpoint is also available if you want to track your presence in real-time -- see the [README](https://github.com/gingershaped/mdotp?tab=readme-ov-file#mdotp) for full API documentation.
