The Edinburgh Fund

The Edinburgh Fund has been announced by the people at the wxWidgets project. "This is a fancy name for the small amount of money left over from the name change settlement with Microsoft, after legal fees, tax, and labour fees have been deducted. Julian Smart is administering this as a separate fund from SPI donations to avoid 'contaminating' other funds with money that a small number of people consider offensive, due to its source. It also makes for quick decisions about allocation and rapid transfer of funds to people who need it." People who are contributing to wxWidgets may apply.
