Re: [Fsfe-uk] Grants programme

Jason Clifford asked:
> Has anyone other than Bastien Nocera actually applied for a grant?

Yes.  When I left, according to my notes, there had been another five.  

Two were asked to reapply with changes, one was asking for more money 
than we could provide so we wanted to find out what we could do within 
the limit, and two applications for money to buy non-free software were 
declined. IIRC, the one I asked to reapply never answered email and had 
no other contact details, but I don't know what happened to the other 
applications, because I resigned not long after that.

I also proposed actively offering grants to Lug Radio Live 2005 and 
debian Bug Squashing Parties, but those ideas weren't liked because it 
wasn't clear what improvement or value could be directly attributed to 
the grants.

Hope that explains,
