Second, I don't get it. Are you saying D Foundation currently
only provides such to students of UPB?

You gotta start somewhere ;-)
ok.. but I've never heard of UPB. Where is Romania anyway? Is
that one of those little islands in the pacific?
In any case, I think it would be great if the foundation setup
a process whereby everyday people can contribute funds to
projects. Those projects need to be approved and costed. Funds
upto those 'per project costs' get accepted, then contributions
are no longer accepted for that project - (otherwise
contributions will exceed the cost of the project).
The projects once approved, could be published for people to
see, and then people decide if they want to contribute. Then
the commuinity of contributors essentially get to decide which
projects are worthwhile - i.e those that get funded by
contributors.
Essentially, crowd sourcing, and stop replying on big
corporations to decide what is worthwhile and what is not.
Romania is in Eastern Europe.
