Ok thank you very much for the insight. I am having trouble finding employment and thought this would be a good option and with the added bonus of doing what I love. Back to the drawing board.

I can't speak for what NLnet will or will not decide to donate to, but I can speak about the fact that your project needs attainable goals, because you only get donated once you meet the goals you originally said you'd meet. So "Package all the apps for different formats" seems like a bad idea since it's an almost impossible to achieve milestone ;) As an example, the 5 goals i set when i did some Okular project earlier this year 1. Support for signing unsigned signatures 2. Support digital signatures in the Okular Windows version 3. Make signature text support all character sets 4. Write Okular-mobile user interface to show signature status 5. Support digital signatures in the Okular Android version Cheers, Albert P.S: Of course each of the goals/milestones had some more description that just 1 sentence, but I hope you get the idea that you need to be a bit more precise in what you're going to do. > Scarlett > > On Thu, Oct 27, 2022, 5:03 PM Nate Graham wrote: > > Hello KDE community members and developers! > > > > I'm writing to everyone about something very exciting: the NLnet > > Foundation (https://nlnet.nl) has made us aware that they have > > substantial quantities of funds available for FOSS projects that KDE is > > eligible for: up to 5€ per project.

Re: Funding opportunity for your projects
Would packaging all the apps in the different formats ( snap, appimage, flatpak ) be considered a project?

Funding opportunity for your projects
Hello KDE community members and developers! I'm writing to everyone about something very exciting: the NLnet Foundation (https://nlnet.nl) has made us aware that they have substantial quantities of funds available for FOSS projects that KDE is eligible for: up to 5€ per project. If you have an idea for a big project or feature you've always wanted to do but lacked the funding for, here's your chance! If you're worried that your idea doesn't meet the criteria, don't be; practically everything KDE does is eligible for funds in the Open Call (https://nlnet.nl/news/2022/20221001-call.html) which ends on December 1st, so there's still plenty of time for you to apply to get your project funded. Click that link for details. Remember: what KDE does is good for the digital world. So if it's good for KDE and you can articulate its benefits, it's a worthy project! If the process seems intimidating, you'd like someone to review your grant proposal, or you need guidance or assistance for any other reason, the KDE e.V. stands ready to help your grant proposal succeed. Email kde-ev-bo...@kde.org and we can help! Nate P.S. This information can also be found on https://community.kde.org/Make_A_Living
