@kde We are very much looking forward to following the progress on your work!
@sovtechfund @kde We (as in Freedesktop) should probably also apply for funding at some point.
I was thinking about some cross Desktop accessibility work could fit the bill.
Or trying to get off gitlab/rework our CI infrastructure.
But.. I don't think anybody of us has any experience with applying for grants in general, so it's a bit scary.
