Project Funding and/or Product Work

Sven Gothel
Administrator
My apologies for repeating my annoying call,
which only addresses companies and institutions (incl. universities etc).

In June 2025, I was lucky (and so all users of JogAmp)
to have received a limited maintenance contract, which has ended.
This work allowed to ensure coming release 2.6.0
<https://jogamp.org/wiki/index.php?title=SW_Tracking_Report_Objectives_for_the_release_2.6.0>,
solving many issues beyond the client's requirements to ensure a good release.
Thank you!

Future maintenance, enhancements and features might be desired, like

- SW Tracking Report Feature Objectives Overview
  <https://jogamp.org/wiki/index.php?title=SW_Tracking_Report_Feature_Objectives_Overview>
  Including: Furthering platform support, Vulkan, enhance GraphUI, ...

- WebAssembly (wasm) Target Platform
  <https://jogamp.org/wiki/index.php?title=WebAssembly_(wasm)_Target_Platform>

- Gamp (C++/WebAssembly)
  <https://jausoft.com/cgit/gamp.git/about/>

To allow serving a productive and future proof solution 
I require appropriate stable funding to continue this endeavor
and hence to serve your own products.
It would help to resolve this issue rather sooner than later this quarter
to plan ahead for myself and family.

Either entities are able to fund my pure JogAmp work
or have me work additionally on their products.
Both scenarios could ensure longevity of JogAmp
and could satisfy both parties.

This can be arranged by contracting work
via our little family company <https://jausoft.com>.

My skill set and further details is available
here <https://jausoft.com/team_en_sgothel.html>.

Disclaimer: I do not work for the Military Industrial Complex (MIC).

Thank you,

~Sven

One friend mentioned to apply for 'official funding', e.g. sovereigntechfund.de,
so I did. However, it seems their funding has closed or is on hold?
More ideas welcome.

Also nlnet.nl for limited smaller grants might seems fit.
I am rather new to this field, not really confident.

Again, dear companies and overlords - consider simply funding
one your toolkits and/or contract me for your projects.

Last contract mentioned supporting JOGL + the VTK integration fix (~2 month)
and also pushing for the 2.6.0 release
was given by Thermo-Calc <https://thermocalc.com>.
Thank you!

The VTK JOGL improvement merge request
is visible here <https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/-/merge_requests/12417>.

This example should help companies to ease their decision,
as completed work usually goes above and beyond of requirements :)
