[openbeos] Re: Exploring Grant Funding

This looks very interesting to me.
If there is anyone out there with grant experience OR non-profit experience who 
wants to work with me on these things, I would be very glad for the help. I am 
at a very busy point in my life with non-Haiku things and I am not able to 
spend all of the time on it that I would like. :-(
