<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Hi,
Today we had a good discussion with new ICFOSS director Sabarish K and the discussions are still
continuing at #icfoss:matrix.org matrix channel.
Sabarish K: frame a guideline for funding, fixing criteria
Naveenpf: community grants can be split as
1. Project grant
2. Events and Travel grant
Project grant proposals can be invited once in a month in a year.
Events and travel grant proposal invited anytime.
Grants committee should be formed with community members. All depends on yearly budget for
community grant.
Structure for fund expenditure reporting template should be in place. (can be reused from wikimedia
grants reporting)
Hrishi: Adding to this,
Travel support can be of two types.
1. Grants
2. interestless loans
The second one should be easy to work out. Few years back I was in need of a travel support when I
had an opportunity to present one of my projects in a prestigious event abroad. The organizers were
reimbursing the travel expenses but I had to advance it to make the arrangements. I tried to get
support from many such govt programs (including startup mission) in vain. If such a travel support
can be arranged, it is not an expense per say. As the candidate will repay it when she gets the
reimbursement.
Sabarish K: This is a good suggestion, biggest task before me is to frame meticulously charted
guidelines for each of the external funding progs. Otherwise it may be the Next Story of Nepotism..
Navenpdf: Open proposals, community endorsements, diverse grant committee and open reporting will
help
You can see his responses to our demands we send to last ICFOSS director here

If you'd like to volunteer to be part of this team to draft guidelines for funding from ICFOSS,
please reply. We can send him the list of people volunteered in aweek's time (by next Wednesday
22nd July.
There are also other promises from him like funding font development which I hope someone will take
up. See the pad linked above or join the matrix group to see all the points.
Thanks
Praveen
