Lightmeter awarded support by Open Technology Fund
Berlin, September 17, 2021 – Open Source email monitoring and automation tool Lightmeter has been awarded nearly $10,000 in services to support their work in keeping email an open ecosystem for universal communication, free of centralised control. The Open Technology Fund, a Non-Profit funded by the Congress of the United States, has issued the support to add a new dashboard interface to Lightmeter, including usability research and design by Open Source specialists Ura Design.
“As well as being the world’s largest communication network, email is also the largest identity database, providing the gateway to digital services for approximately 84% of earth’s population. Lightmeter enables people to use email on their own terms, free and unimpeded, perfectly aligning our mission with Open Tech Fund”
“On average people check email 15 times each day, but the technology behind the inbox is extremely complex. OTF’s support means that technical email infrastructure will become easier than ever to use as a result of Lightmeter’s email server control panel benefiting from user-centric UX methods and research”
