Hi FSFE community,
those of you who do develop Free Software privately or that are still thinking about realising a project, could be interested in the Prototype Fund: https://prototypefund.de/en/
it is a project by the Open Knowledge Foundation and the German Ministry of Education and Research where developers can apply for up to 30.000 Euros in half a year so they can concentrate on coding. The only restriction it has is to have a living place in Germany (although you can move here for this half of a year if I understood correctly). Else, it comes with less formalia as possible.
Best regards, Erik
