[Announce] Linux Australia's 2024 Grants Program is now open

[Jonathan Woithe]

Hi all

Linux Australia is pleased to announce that the 2024 Grants Program is now
open.  Applications are welcome from all members of Linux Australia.

As in 2023, there are two different types of grants on offer this year. 
Project Grants provide funding for open source, open data, open government,
open education, open hardware and open culture projects.  Community Grants
(introduced in 2023) offer funds to assist community groups rebuild and
re-establish themselves following the interrupts of the last few 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.

The total funding available for all grants is $10,000.

Applications close on 30 Nov 2024 or when the grant funds have 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.
