Okay thanks. There is also a German-language news article here: https://netzpolitik.org/2016/12-millionen-euro-fuer-open-source-neuer-prototype-fund-foerdert-gemeinnuetzige-projekte/ https://netzpolitik.org/2016/12-millionen-euro-fuer-open-sou...
They give you up to 30k for 6 months, and it is funded by the German ministry of education. Their strive for a very easy application process where you just need to write an email and send a link of your open source project, and a list of goals you want to achieve with the money.
So it passes the smell test and seems like a great opportunity for European oss devs. I couldn't find any info which explicitly states that projects outside the EU might be funded.
- qznc 10y ago"Self-employed and independent developers who live in Germany can apply for funding."
- bflesch 10y agoThanks :) This should include European citizens who live in Germany.
- sveme 10y agoIt's not limited to EU citizens, anyone with the right to work and live in Germany can apply.
- denzil_correa 10y agoThe application seems to be only in German though. http://prototypefund.de/submission/ http://prototypefund.de/submission/
