<div dir="ltr">As discussed in prplwrt meetings,
prpl is interested in funding development work on OpenWrt. In order to
make this as fair as possible, I'm proposing a process which I'm
tentatively calling the prplwrt Software Support Program (PSSP)<br><br>PSSP
will fund innovative OpenWrt development work that is responsive to the
needs of the OpenWrt community and industry. To make sure the process
benefits the community as much as possible, I'm asking for your
feedback. Please look through the document I've linked below and provide
feedback, either as comments on the document or as a reply to this
message.<br><br>As a quick summary, the process would go as follows:<br><br>* prpl and its members, as funders, would set initial themes that all projects would be expected to fit into.<br>* the community, prpl members, and others would submit and comment on ideas for projects that fit those themes<br>*
potential implementers would then submit proposals for implementations,
including a budget, timeline and general plan for implementation<br>* an OpenWrt community committee, the prpl TSC and prpl Board would finalize which implementations are selected and funded.<br><br><div>More
details are in the linked document. I want to make sure everyone in the
OpenWrt community has had a chance to provide their thoughts on the
program so please provide your feedback as soon as possible and no later
than March 17.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,<br></div><div><br>Eric<br><br></div>PSSP proposal: <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1b5LwqNPUasSafP-3NLwnV7rXRRUPDfj5yrU772dkpoc/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1b5LwqNPUasSafP-3NLwnV7rXRRUPDfj5yrU772dkpoc/edit?usp=sharing</a><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Eric Schultz, Community Manager, prpl Foundation<br><a href="http://www.prplfoundation.org" target="_blank">http://www.prplfoundation.org</a><br><a href="mailto:eschultz@prplfoundation.org" target="_blank">eschultz@prplfoundation.org</a><br>cell: 920-539-0404<br>skype: ericschultzwi<br>@EricPrpl</div></div>
