It’s official \o/

@PrototypeFund will keep funding #FOSS projects for the next 4 years 🥳

We have spent the past year redesigning the fund to set up better support structures to help projects thrive after their initial funding phase. All the info about the new Prototype Fund is available here: new.prototypefund.de/en

The first application phase starts on Monday, November 11th, I can’t wait to read your proposals 🚀

Hey Marie, happy to hear it. Is this just for folks based in Germany or can anyone apply?
in reply to Aral Balkan

@aral Here are the rules (copied from our FAQ, you can read more on new.prototypefund.de/en): As a single developer, you are a resident of Germany, are self-employed or a freelancer and pay your taxes here.
For teams, the registered office of your GbR is in Germany, the places of residence of individual team members may be in other EU countries.

Thanks, just read down to there. Oh well, fundless we continue. Hope you’re keeping well, it’s been a while. Do let Laura and me know if you’re ever in Ireland :)

@aral Yes, long time no see! No plans to go to Ireland soon, but I’ll def ping you if I do :)
