Friendly reminder if you're an open source developer in the mobile ecosystem:
You still have time until 1st of June to apply for a #mobifree grant.
Is there more information out there from people who did take such grants in the past? I find it really hard to wrap my head around how to allocate and estimate such a grant for my project.
@newhinton @fdroidorg on https://nlnet.nl/project/current.html is a list of all projects that currently get funded by NLnet. Maybe you know somebody of these projects.
@eighthave do you have any hints?
@bene64 @newhinton @fdroidorg If you've never done any grants before, start small. NLnet is quite flexible, so think of a feature that think is important, then name a fixed price you'd be willing to implement it. Then tell the story in terms of how it will benefit EU users. It is an EU fund focused on EU citizens, so that use case is what they need to hear about. It is all free software. And it is also good if it would benefit other users outside of the EU. That just can't be the focus. 1/
@bene64 @newhinton @fdroidorg For example: privacy, data protection, and decentralization are all topics NLnet funds. Censorship circumvention is not. 2/
