<br>
I want to point your attention to the fact that Mozilla has announced an "open source support program" where they have allocated $1 million that they will distribute to up to 10 projects that Mozilla relies on:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2015/10/23/mozilla-launches-open-source-support-program/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2015/10/23/mozilla-launches-open-source-support-program/</a><br>
<br>
The program is being finalized and is described in detail here:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/MOSS" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.mozilla.org/MOSS</a><br>
<br>
They have a list of projects that they already identify relying on, which already includes some Conservancy projects like bro, buildbot, git, mercurial and selenium:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/MOSS/Projects_in_use_by_Mozilla" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.mozilla.org/MOSS/Projects_in_use_by_Mozilla</a><br>
<br>
To apply you need to team up with someone within Mozilla, and it looks like you have to submit a formal grant request which we would be happy to assist with. Mozilla does state that they have a reasonably strong preference for funding legal organizations, which is good news for Conservancy's member projects. There is also a reference to "Other Tracks" where they will also consider security audit and remediation for key projects in the future (though no process is identified for this at the moment).<br>
<br>
The deadline for this grant process looks like it's in December, but I think the biggest component is getting a strong advocate within Mozilla to start working in your favor right away. Let me know if you'd like to discuss further!<br>
