Additionally, the funds can be also used towards the development of open source software for better and affordable DNS resolution services.</span></p><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class="">On 2 Feb 2022, at 15:26, Chris Buckridge <<a href="mailto:chrisb@ripe.net" class="">chrisb@ripe.net</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class="">Dear colleagues, <br class=""><br class="">Thank you to all who joined for the RIPE NCC Open House discussion of DNS4EU on Monday, 31 January.
