:Applied for OTF’s Internet Freedom Fund in Jan 2016 and declined with this message: | |||
<blockquote> | |||
Determination status: Dropped | |||
Next Deadline: | |||
Goals and principles: | |||
This sounds like a great community project, but we does not fall under our | |||
remit. OTF’s Internet Freedom Fund generally funds tools and technologies | |||
that can be immediately used in repressive regimes to counteract censorship | |||
and surveillance. | |||
NYC has awesome mesh networks, Red Hook being the most famous. There is a | |||
huge project here funded by the city to bring mesh to other boroughs. Also, | |||
this seems like a project that should be funded by the local community - is | |||
there similar funding for San Fran for something like this? That might be | |||
more in line with the community approach this project is taking. | |||
Technical merit: | |||
Reasonable, realistic and sustainable: | |||
