During the course of collecting material for the Perl 6 wiki section on Perl 6 articles and presentations (http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl6/index.cgi?perl_6_articles_and_presentat ions), I've repeatedly encountered remarks about how much Perl 6 development is constrained by the fairly severe time and energy constraints of its overwhelmingly volunteer development team.
So over the next few months, I'm planning to learn about fundraising, and see what I can accomplish on behalf of Perl 6 development. To that end, I'm soliciting: (1) your suggestions for preparation, (2) your ideas for proposals, and (3) your reasons why the Perl 6 ecosystem (including Parrot and CPAN6) is one of the world's greatest and and most extremely leveraged causes (technically, economically, and socially). I'll also put whatever fundraising-oriented material I come up with on the Perl 6 wiki, to help and encourage others along similar lines. Thanks much in advance.
