Hey all,
Since the PdCon09 in São Paulo is coming up this summer, I thought I'd
start a thread on finding ways to get funds to get as many people
there are possible. For example, I plan on applying to the Jerome
Foundation for a travel grant, it only applies to New York City and
Minnesota: http://www.jeromefdn.org/.
I think the Europeans and Canadians have much better options. Anyone
know of other options for Americans? Or anyone think I could use my
Austrian citizenship to get a travel grant from the Austrian gov't?
I know the Brazil crew is working to fund as many people as possible,
like they did in Montreal, but there is never enough grant money to
pay all the expenses, so helping each other get grants from other
sources will definitely help the whole effort.
I was also thinking, perhaps we could stick a "Donate" nag screen on
the next release of Pd-extended, with all of the donations going
directly to the PdCon09.

Looking at things from a more basic level, you can come up with a more
direct solution... It may sound small in theory, but it in practice,
it can change entire economies. - Amy Smith

afaik, you might be better off talking to the austrians. but the other
austrians here on the list will have more to say about this.
In any case you'd have to really hurry up with the application... the Austrian foreign ministry is real quick with spending their available funds. gr~~~

hi, it seems there was a special cultural exchange program in 2008 between EU and Brazil, but this year they focus on 8 other contries (occupied palestine is one of them). there seems to be some EU money this year for bio fules related stuff in cooperation with brazil (in case someone wants to present a pd project on bio fuels...). more EU/austrian info at http://www.ccp-austria.at marius.
