**** Pleases direct follow-ups to just perl6-users. **** Its been about a month and a half since the first time that I brought up the topic of fundraising. So I want to find out what the prospects are of decisively resolving the earmarked funding issue within The Perl Foundation any time soon.
Otherwise, I would like to take the initiative to set up a Parrot Platform Foundation specifically to handle earmarked grants for Rakudo, the Parrot VM, C6PAN, and any other Perl 6 projects of interest, such as SMOP. (I want to avoid using Perl in the Foundation's name, to avoid any confusion with TPF.) I know that others have differing strong opinions and grand visions on how they want things to be done. That fine. In the mean time, I want to pursue several more modest and presently-available opportunities for supporting Perl 6 developers, which are presently falling through the cracks. TIMTOWTDI. You know what I want for Christmas. The clock is ticking.
