The National Science Foundation has an upcoming deadline for their Expeditions in Computing grant opportunity. I believe that GNU Social is a qualified project to receive funding from the NSF.

Is anyone interested in pursuing this grant as a funding option for GNU Social? Does the FSF have a grantwriting team that can help with this effort? Also, it would be good to have a good technical explanation of the vision and implementation for this project (most of which exists on the Gitorious wiki.) I am interested in collaborating on this grant submission to meet the deadline of 2010.09.15. --Brylie Oxley GNU.media Intern Sierra Friends Center http://woolman.org (530) 273 - 3183
