5. Empowering Mobilizon
Creating a governance structure to hit Mobilizon's most important goals and priorities. We really need an open, privacy respecting way to get people offline and building community now more than ever. Governance may not be sexy, but this will make a huge difference! to funding, planning and increasing the features and reach of Mobilizon!

4. Spritely Oaken
The @spritely Institute, headed up by @cwebber (OG #ActivityPub / #Fediverse cofounder) is working on making the next generation of FOSS, decentralized internet (beyond the web). Oaken is a vision to help make running untrusted code on this new frontier safe, opening up far more possibilities. It doesn't exist yet... but now there's funding to build it!
