Open Technology Fund - F3 - (July 2022)

Hi [redacted],

I filled in the budget template and attach it below.

I assumed the “Project Objectives” of the proposal are “deliverables” in the context of the budget template. And what was called “deliverables” in the proposal are a list of concrete items (repositories, reports, code, releases) that will be verified to be as expected before an invoice can be issued.

This is still a draft and I have two more questions:

  • Is the wording used to describe each objective and their deliverable in the “Project Objectives” part of the proposal good enough? Or should it be reworded and/or expanded?
  • Would it be possible to change one of the project objectives (Python package reference implementation)? At the time of the submission it was chosen because it could be delivered with a reasonable level of certainty, but it is low impact. The better objective would be a “Ruby package reference implementation” because it could be used by GitLab which has a larger audience. Experiments conducted this year tend to confirm this can be accomplished within the allocated budget.

Thanks for your help
