hey all,

the awesome foundation <http://www.awesomefoundation.org/> appears to have
expanded its chapter system beyond "fund awesome things in x city" to
include specific topic areas such as open
web<http://www.awesomefoundation.org/en/chapters/openweb>&
food <http://www.awesomefoundation.org/en/chapters/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.

- marina
