Sovereign Tech Fund application?

[wmlive]

Hello everybody,

thanks to a notice on Hacker News at 
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38211405 about public funding for 
GNOME i found out about the German "Sovereign Tech Fund" at 
https://sovereigntechfund.de/en/.

Apparently this is a very laudable initiative to fund OSI-approved or 
FSF Free/Libre license based projects. This obviously applies to GNUstep 
even more than to to GNOME due to its added cross-platform advantage.

In my humble opinion, the only thing that still hinders GNUstep from 
fully thriving is the lack of developer time to properly polish both the 
underlying framework and the associated software relying on it. It would 
thus be great if the Sovereign Tech Fund would be a viable option to 
finance dedicated developers to allow for full time focussing on GNUstep 
completion and polishing.

Please have a look at https://sovereigntechfund.de/en/applications/ in 
order to verify if this might be helpful for the GNUstep project.

Regards,

Paul
