Sovereign Tech Fund application?

[wmlive]

    Hello everybody,
    
    thanks to a notice on Hacker News at
    https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38211405 about public funding
    for GNOME i found out about the German "Sovereign Tech Fund" at
    https://sovereigntechfund.de/en/.
    
    Apparently this is a very laudable initiative to fund OSI-approved
    or FSF Free/Libre license based projects. This obviously applies to
    GNUstep even more than to to GNOME due to its added cross-platform
    advantage.
    
    In my humble opinion, the only thing that still hinders GNUstep from
    fully thriving is the lack of developer time to properly polish both
    the underlying framework and the associated software relying on it.
    It would thus be great if the Sovereign Tech Fund would be a viable
    option to finance dedicated developers to allow for full time
    focussing on GNUstep completion and polishing.
    
    Please have a look at https://sovereigntechfund.de/en/applications/
    in order to verify if this might be helpful for the GNUstep project.
    
    Regards,
    
    Paul
