"The
Knight Brothers 21st Century News Challenge hopes to recognize
transformative ideas, pilot projects, leadership initiatives and
investment opportunities that will help improve the flow of journalism,
information and news in the public interest." (with a total of $5M
given out in 2007, application deadline the end of November.)
<p>Here's the link to the guidelines and simple application: <a href="http://newschallenge.org/" title="http://newschallenge.org/" rel="nofollow">http://newschallenge.org/</a></p>
<p>My own agenda is working with others to create various parts of a
universal, democratic communications network (neither unmoderated nor
moderated, but with prominence decided by random juries of people in
the network). ... Mostly I hope people put in really strong applications to this
foundation for any kind of Drupal or CiviCRM project, as anything that benefits
Drupal benefits all of us, and quite honestly benefits the goals of the
Knight Brothers foundation too.</p>
<p>One place where a lot of money could be poured into the above is a
robust mailing list solution that would allow people on a huge list to
receive or not receive messages based on hundreds of individual
criteria, if anyone knows folks with the skills to put such a proposal
together.<br>
</p>
....recap: there's people giving away money for a good cause
(with a leaning toward open source) that could absolutely benefit
Drupal, the application is fairly easy, and I'd love to collaborate
with people to get more money to do better things for more projects!
