<div>As discussed in prplwrt meetings, prpl is
interested in funding development work on
OpenWrt. In order to make this as fair as
possible, I'm proposing a process which I'm
tentatively calling the prplwrt Software
Support Program (PSSP)<br>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<br>
</div>
PSSP will fund innovative OpenWrt development work
that is responsive to the needs of the OpenWrt
community and industry. To make sure the process
benefits the community as much as possible, I'm
asking for your feedback. Please look through the
document I've linked below and provide feedback,
either as comments on the document or as a reply to
this message.<br>
<br>
</div>
As a quick summary, the process would go as follows:<br>
<br>
</div>
* prpl and its members, as funders, would set initial
themes that all projects would be expected to fit into.<br>
</div>
* the community, prpl members, and others would submit and
comment on ideas for projects that fit those themes<br>
</div>
* potential implementers would then submit proposals for
implementations, including a budget, timeline and general
plan for implementation<br>
</div>
* an OpenWrt community committee, the prpl TSC and prpl Board
would finalize which implementations are selected and funded.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>More details are in the linked document. I want to make
sure everyone in the OpenWrt community has had a chance to
provide their thoughts on the program so please provide your
feedback as soon as possible and no later than March 17.<br>
