>continue to do great work and we will reach out to you. That's a bit of a sticky problem. It's a hard job finding worthy projects that than benefit the most from funding. There are a lot of projects out there. Some have a lot of potential but identifying them isn't easy. I can understand why there isn't a sign saying "I'm giving away money, apply here." That is a recipe to be inundated with requests where the the most worthy lose out to those more skilled at applying for grants. I wonder if there is scope for a crowd sourced intermediary here. We all think about the worthy causes we could support if we were mega rich. Maybe what we need is a "If I had a Billion Dollars" website where people suggest and critique causes to enable those who do have the money can look to see where they can do the most good. Specifically for Open Source, I have found quiet little projects that could benefit from grants, projects that would never actually seek out funding in their own right. Another aspect are projects that are not yet open source that could possibly be liberated with a fair payment. I see things like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_Studio_Pro http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_Studio_Pro which I doubt will ever be finished as a proprietary project, but might have a chance as open source. Similarly http://sol.gfxile.net/atanua/ http://sol.gfxile.net/atanua/ is an excellent program that is largely lying idle. Both of these could be possibly bought into the open source world if their respective developers were offered some compensation for their efforts so far. Of course I know only a little snapshot of what is out there, perhaps there should be a way for the cumulative eyeballs of people to find the best opportunities.
