Python-grants -- Writing grants to get funding for Python projects
About Python-grants	English (USA) German
This project was initiated at a PyCon 2004 BoF. The mailing list will be used to investigate methods for raising funding for Python projects. It looks like the easy road to grant money will be to push for funding the development of education related software. The Friday afternoon session on Education at PyCon reinforced the value of this approach. The initial target of the funding requests will be for the development of a "Fat Python" distribution. This will take the form of a bootable CDROM. The application on the CD will cover a variety of educational topics, in addition to teaching introductory computer programming. We plan to develop a demo version of the CDROM in parallel with writing a grant request for funding. To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the Python-grants Archives.
