Fundraising requires a clear vision & roadmap - positioning, technical -
and the associated marketing materials (read: expenses). And, of course,
someone organized enough to find prospects / develop suspects / select
leads / cultivate opportunities - the sales cycle is time-consuming. FLOSS
projects are not historically strong in this. But the TA grant is a
fabulous success in adverse circumstances, and can be a springboard.
