Announcing the Knight Drupal Initiative
=========================

The Knight Drupal Initiative is now accepting grant applications.
Anyone may apply at http://groups.drupal.org/knight-drupal-initiative.

Application is a two-stage process.  First, an open community review
will select proposals for submission to Knight Foundation.  After
submission, Knight Foundation will have final approval over grant
funding.  More information is available at
http://groups.drupal.org/node/10461.

There are no deadlines for submission.  The program establishes an
ongoing grant review process.  New proposals will be reviewed monthly by
the Knight Foundation.


About the program
============

Together, Drupal and the Knight Foundation are working to improve
communities by providing a freely distributed, open source digital
publishing platform. We are looking to fund proposals that achieve our
mutual goals.

Drupal and the Knight Foundation agree that open source digital
publishing can enable powerful agents of transformation in their
respective communities.

Together, we are working to improve communities by providing an open
democratic platform in the digital age.

We provide funding for grant proposals that achieve our mutual goals by
using and improving the Drupal platform.

More information can be found on the KDI Frequently Asked Questions page
at http://groups.drupal.org/node/10464.


Proposal guidelines
============

A good proposal should improve or leverage Drupal in order to meet the
stated goals of the program.  When writing your proposal:

  * Be clear and concise when answering the questions.
  * Be sure that both novices and experts will understand what you propose.
  * Be honest and positive when describing your proposal

For more tips, see http://groups.drupal.org/node/10462.


Introductory meeting
=============

With the launch of the Knight Drupal Initiative, many people have questions.

Ken Rickard will host a live IRC chat on Monday, June 2nd, starting at
15:00 EDT [UTC - 4:00].

The chat will be held in #drupal-dojo on freenode.
