This is the type of grant I thought you were talking about. I'd be |
15 |
interested in searching and applying for external grants to give Gentoo |
16 |
funding. Then we could use some of that funding to give out Brad's |
17 |
flavor of grant. |

The only source that comes to mind offhand is LinuxFund. Here's a couple |
20 |
of related links, since the site seems to be down: |

http://lwn.net/2001/0614/a/linuxfund.php3 |

|
25 |
Most of the funded projects are individual programs rather than |
26 |
distributions, but I don't see any obvious reason why we couldn't apply. |
27 |
Alternately, we could go for the LUG-style route mentioned above and |
28 |
stick an ad on our site for LinuxFund credit cards, from which we would |
29 |
benefit. I'm sure this could be discussed with them. |

Does anyone know of other sources that might help with funding? |

Thanks, |
