Sovereign Tech Fund (STF) to invest in FreeBSD infrastructure modernization

The FreeBSD Foundation has announced that Germany's Sovereign Tech
Fund (STF) has agreed to invest €686,400 toward improvements in the
FreeBSD project's infrastructure, security, regulatory compliance, and
developer experience:

The work commissioned by STF also aligns closely with the recent
August
9, 2024 summary report released by the U.S. Office of the
National Cyber Director (ONCD), consolidating feedback from the 2023
request for information on key priorities for securing the open source
software ecosystem. By enhancing security controls and SBOM tooling,
the FreeBSD Foundation is helping to keep FreeBSD at the forefront of
improved vulnerability disclosure mechanisms and secure software
foundations.
