I was considering talking about how AlekSIS uses a combination of a non-profit and a for-profit to flexibly handle funding, lower the risk and ensure social security of developers paid through NGI0.
Would that be a "unique perspective" or would it rather qualify as "self-promotional"?

@nik @FOSDEM25DevroomOnFunding I'd say a unique perspective. I would not consider sharing strategies for FOSS funding as self-promotional. Just because it's includes your own experience, does not make it self-promotional. Self-promotional would be, for instance, an entity promoting their service as the (only) way to go.
