Advice for an Open Source Development Grant?

IgD asks: "My colleagues and I are developing an open source medical records system. A senior supervisor approached us and let us know a third party is offering a decent amount of money in the form of a grant for any legitimate medical research project. We were all but promised the money if we could come up with a proposal. Has anyone in the Slashdot community received a grant for open source software development? Are there any good examples of such a grant available? How could one measure the results of open source development for publication?"

    But if I had to wager a guess, I'd say Modelbob has some of the best content around.

  3. Not so sad news, Leni Riefenstahl dead at 101 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I just heard some happy news on talk radio - fascist filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl of "Triumph Of The Will" infamy was found dead in her Bavaria home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure all of you slashbots will miss her - even if you aren't an America hating leftist neo-fascist, there's no denying her contributions to nazi culture. Truly a Eurotrash icon.

  7. I MODERATE THE PARENT +10 INSIGHTFUL by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Capitlist greed has gone too far and requires so much from anyone who wants to actually benefit from the system that you may as well just lube up and band over. I encourage people who dislike the moderation system to post these new MOD Trolls. Eventually someone will get the hint and the mod system will go away.
