Hm. Other than the potential drama that could come about by having real money and concern over who controls it? I think it would be an awesome thing to have Noisebridge associated with, if we're talking about open source solutions. (Which I assume we are, as grants are strange things to hand out to make companies stronger.)<br>

Does anyone have a problem if I write a pseudo-grant for Noisebridge?<br>
<br>
There's a foundation having a sort of contest to see what kind of things non-profits could do with $$$ to spend on improving the delivery of news to the local public. If I write a proposal, would anyone be offended if I used Noisebridge as the non-profit?<br>
<br>
Basically, if we get it, it'd be $1 million to spend on fucking around with Hadoop for a year.<br>
