We've applied twice over the years and not received the fellowship. We should still apply again. We have this list: https://wiki.snowdrift.coop/market-research/grants And I have a list of more to consider and add to that, and would be happy to see this German thing and other appropriate stuff added. Anyone interested in helping us decide and pursue such resources is welcome to do that. It's hard to judge priority because applying and not getting them does take away from our direct work. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.snowdrift.coop https://lists.snowdrift.coop/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Imho Snowdrift.coop has a chance. Looking at the first round's winners (https://prototypefund.de/en/our-first-round-of-funding-goes-to/), I'd say I completely agree. But it says, "Self-employed and independent developers who live in Germany can apply for funding." Do we have anybody that meets that criterion? Oh, I see on the application itself it asks, "Are you applying as an individual or as a team." Still, I would expect the whole team might need to live in Germany. mray, how much extra room do you have in your house? ;) Or perhaps we could recruit some people. I am certain there are Haskellers in Germany who would want to help out. signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.snowdrift.coop https://lists.snowdrift.coop/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[Snowdrift-discuss] Funding opprtunity?
The FSFE ML just put my attention to a funding project of the german government: https://prototypefund.de/en/ It looks like they pay 30.000€ over a 6-month period, given that you meet some requirements. Imho Snowdrift.coop has a chance.
