Today, the FUSS Project was added to the Digital Public Goods
Alliance DPG
Registry. The goal of
the DPGA and its registry is to promote digital public goods in order
to create a more equitable world. Being recognised as a DPG increases
the visibility, support for, and prominence of open projects that have
the potential to tackle global challenges. To become a digital public
good, all projects are required to meet the DPG Standard to ensure
that projects truly encapsulate open source principles.
For us, being recognised as a digital public good - defined as
open source software, open data, open AI models, open standards, and
open content that adhere to privacy and other applicable laws and best
practices, do no harm, and help attain the SDGs (Sustainable
Development Goals) - means confirming our
effort in contributing with our project not only to SDG 4 (Quality
Education) and SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure) but
also to a Democratic Digitalization goal that we see as the
missing 18th SDG.

The Digital Public Goods Alliance is a multi-stakeholder
initiative endorsed by the United Nations Secretary-General,
working to accelerate the attainment of the Sustainable Development
Goals in low- and middle-income countries by facilitating the
discovery, development, use of, and investment in digital public
goods.
