Hi all,
We are offered to apply for a sponsorship of FFmpeg by the Sovereign Tech Fund
(STF).
Please read the following to get a better understanding what STF is about:
(In short it is about maintenance and sustainability, not features)
https://www.sovereigntechfund.de/programs/applications
As some probably already know, Thilo has worked with STF to work out
many details of this. SPI will handle the financials for FFmpeg.
Everyone willing to benefit from this sponsorship must not be a US sanctioned
entity or in a US sanctioned country. And must sign a contractor agreement
and simplified SoW with SPI.
"A SOW purpose is to protect the contracted from doing a
work and not getting paid, and to protect the contractor from paying for a
work which wasn't wanted"
At this point, what we need is a list of Projects so we can submit an
application to STF
at or before 12th Feb. (at the 14th they have a meeting and will review our
submission)
our application has been fully accepted, covering all the project
proposals as listed in [1].
We were asked to align our public / social media announcement with STF
which happens after the contracts are finalized, presumably end of
April. Once these are done and set, I'll post a patch for a news entry
which we can also put into the social media channels we have.
Cheers,
Thilo
