Hi there

Following on from my mail about the finance call:

- We have $20,000 from the original Poplus grant to disburse to individuals and groups carrying out technical development work on/using the components up to $5,000 per project

- Ideally the monies are to be spent developing new components or new features for existing components (like the Facebook integration for WriteIt) however they can be used for implementations of components used within larger projects


- Please get your applications in by 10th September 2014

- The target is for successful projects to be chosen and stakeholders informed by 17th September

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch

One final point to add - if you are from a funding organisation and might be interested in helping support the growth of Poplus through funding micro-grants, please do let us know!  We think that it could be a very powerful tool for helping expand the impact of the community.

Many thanks

Paul

ISIF Asia Tech Grants are open http://www.isif.asia/grant for 2015 is in this same timeline.

For those in Asia-Pacific I highly recommend applying, it's up to USD30,000 tech fund that can be used for Poplus development and deployment, and this year's theme is "Collaboration".
