[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.
