Apply for Grants To Fund Open Source Work Q&A

When I tell people about grants they could get to help fund work on open source software projects, sometimes they are surprised because they didn't know such grants existed. I share:


We're hoping that many efforts and discussions will continue after Mozfest. Share any ideas you already have for how to continue the work from your session.:

As a consultant with grantwriting experience, I'll end the session with an offer to help folks with some free initial research to help them look at funding options. I also hope to turn followup questions-and-answers into material for a followup blog post, and incorporate it into the book I'm writing on maintainership.

How will you deal with varying numbers of participants in your session?:

Most or all of the session will be recorded, so the number of participants will not change that part of the session. If there are very few participants, we'll run a very open and relaxed oral Q&A. If there are 5+ participants, I'll ask for questions via text chat and answer them orally.
