  • Help TPF Fund Grants! Mon, 02-Jun-2008 by Richard Dice

    The 2008Q2 grant round was by far the largest in recent years in both the quantity and quality of grant requests received by TPF. Characterisitically, TPF authorizes about US$5,000 of grant funding per quarter. In 2008Q2 we received nearly US$45,000 in grant requests. We see this as both a positive thing and a problem. The positive part is that it shows some great activity in the Perl community and people

  • 2008Q2 Grants Results Mon, 02-Jun-2008 by Alberto Simões
    in: Grants

    It took a long time, but for this round we had a big number of excellent proposals. Unfortunately TPF is unable to fund all the proposed grants as they exceed the funds available for Grants. Thus, TPF GC ranked proposals accordingly with its relevance to the community, and the first few were funded. These are the funded proposals: "Perl on a Stick":http://news.perlfoundation.org/2008/05/2008q2_grant_proposal_perl_on.html, by Adam Kennedy "Test::Builder 2":http://news.perlfoundation.org/2008/05/2008q2_grant_proposal_testbuil.html, by Michael Schwern

    In July 2007, TPF granted Shlomi Fish for a Perl-Based Mediawiki Syntax Parser. Both parties have agreed to terminate this grant agreement. This will free up Shlomi to work on other projects, and allow the Perl Foundation to use the money to fund future grants.
