Subject: sudo room/bach awesome foundation chapter?
To: "sudo-discuss@lists.sudoroom.org" <sudo-discuss@lists.sudoroom.org>, "lol-hackers@googlegroups.com" <lol-hackers@googlegroups.com>, "bayareahackerspaces@lists.riseup.net" <bayareahackerspaces@lists.riseup.net>


hey all,

the awesome foundation appears to have expanded its chapter system beyond "fund awesome things in x city" to include specific topic areas such as open web & food.

the awesome foundation model involves 10 people commiting $100 a month into a single $1000 grant awarded every month. the ten people then pick the grantee based on criteria they all agree on.

awesome foundation is accepting new chapters and from my understanding it's not difficult to get approved. i am wondering if there is enough interest and disposable $$ in our various communities to create a sudo- or bach- or other topic-specific awesome foundation chapter.

to gauge the number of people who would be interested in something like this and what kind of topic they'd like to support, please fill out yet another google form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/19hKmF0LODOcisqAzPPP2tlOprm-jWaisI_3GTZbKS-8/viewform

the results should be visible to everyone.

please feel free to fwd to others (bay area and non-bay-area..who cares - we have the internet!)

i'll follow up in a week.
