I do not speak for the Foundation, but the process for requesting |

stuff like this is located at: |

Obviously they don't have infinite funds, but this is the sort of |
| 13 |
thing that they've been historically doing. Just keep in mind that |
| 14 |
there is work involved besides just writing checks. Ie if you want to |
| 15 |
buy some expensive hardware keep in mind that it needs to actually be |
| 16 |
hosted and administered and so Infra/etc would need to get involved |
| 17 |
(and hosting has its own costs). |

I'd suggest talking to them if you have an idea, preferably in |
| 20 |
coordination with a team if appropriate or if somebody else is already |
| 21 |
doing similar work. |
