[Announce] Linux Australia's 2023 Grants Program is now open

[Jonathan Woithe]

Hi everyone

Linux Australia is pleased to announce that the 2023 Grants Program is now
open.  Applications are welcome from all members of Linux Australia.

This year the Grant Program is divided into two categories.  The grants
offered by Linux Australia in previous years are now referred to as Project
Grants.  They provide funding for open source, open data, open government,
open education, open hardware and open culture projects.

The new Community Grants category offers funds to assist community groups
rebuild and re-establish themselves following the interrupts of the last
couple of years.  We hope that the Community Grants enable groups within our
community to revive past events or start something new that brings people
together - in person, virtually, or both.

Each category has a total grant pool of $10,000.

Applications close on 30 Nov 2023 or when the grant pool has been exhausted
(whichever is earlier).

Full details are given on the Linux Australia Grants page[1], accessible in
the Member Area after logging in to the Linux Australia website[2].  This
includes grant guidelines and an outline of the application process.

Members of the Linux Australia Council[3] are happy to discuss grant
ideas, provide guidance in the preparation of an application, and answer any
questions there may be about the program.

The Linux Australia Council looks forward to receiving and evaluating grant
applications from the community.
