Dear community,

it fills me with joy to announce that Streaksu, the developer of 
Ironclad [1] has been given a grant from the nlnet foundation [2], 
announcement here [3].

If you would like to learn more about Ironclad and the Gloire 
distribution, Streaksu presented the project during AEiC 2024. You can 
find the slides and video here [4].

If you are interested in Ironclad/Gloire, you can check the git repos 
from the main webpage, join the Matrix/Element chatroom or maybe even 
sponsor Streaksu over at his liberapay page [5].

I am very happy to see that Streaksu applied for a grant and was 
accepted. This is what I want to see more of in the community. People 
creating very cool projects that they enjoy working on. Then promoting 
them and seeing if they can make the development of such projects a 
little bit more sustainable for themselves. This also disproves that 
“Ada projects” are not liked or as seen as old by foundations or other 
funding groups.

I am very happy for Streaksu and I hope to test Ironclad in a RISC-V 
board soon!
