[FFmpeg-devel] STF 2025 grant request (2025-09-01 target)

[FFmpeg-devel] STF 2025 grant request (2025-09-01 target)

[Pierre-Anthony Lemieux]

Hi all,

As with last year, Michael asked me to help coordinate the creation of
grant request to the STF:

https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/SponsoringPrograms/STF/2025

The objective remains to unlock funds for individuals that are
interested in contributing to the FFMPEG codebase.

The proposed deadline for individuals to submit their proposal is
2025-09-01. The proposals will be published at the link above upon
submission.

I am happy to collate the proposals and forward the grant request to
SPI, who would handle the submission to STF and payments to
contributors as the case may be. I am also happy to do nothing.

This activity is completely voluntary, there is no guarantee that all
(or any) proposals will be accepted by SPI and/or STF, and the chances
of success are unknown (to me). The activity was reasonably successful
last year.

Best,

-- Pierre

Could you bump the deadline up and submit them in a week or two? Its 
been many months since Michael urged those wanting to apply to do so. 
Waiting for a month probably won't result in much, and I'd like to start 
working already.

Quick reminder that the deadline for submitting your proposal is
quickly approaching.

Also note that the total amount of the proposed projects is below for
the minimum threshold for STF to consider the application.
