2008Q2 Grant Proposals

[ #36307 ]
On TPF webblog (check links bellow) are a set of posts with proposals received by the Perl Foundation grants committee during the second call for grant proposals for 2008. Although not usual, the rules of the TPF GC are changing and we hope to make this a rule. Proposals are accepted during one month and after that period, they are posted for public discussion on the Internet. This is important to make GC more aware of the community interest on the project, and to help opening the grants attribution process.

During the month of April we received the following grant proposals:

Please take some time on reading the proposals carefully and give some feedback on the relevance of the proposals.

  • It's really more interesting reading the evaluations of the proposals than the proposals themselves.

    I'm wondering why this is. Perhaps it is the role of controversy. Without disagreement or competition, it's uninteresting.

    Perhaps it's the effect of money or scarce resources. Without a horse in the race, or without a goal, it's not worth getting excited.

    Anyway, making the evaluation process public was a good idea, I think. The judges should retire to their private space and make their decision an
