I'm attending a local information session in Atlanta, put on by the Knight Foundation.
They plan to discuss technicalities of the contest -- including the open-source requirements, timelines and different funding mechanisms.
The invitation says don't worry if you haven't applied yet: "the initial application process takes only about 20 minutes and was designed to keep you from wasting a lot of time if the Knight Foundation isn't interested (only once Knight thinks your idea shows promise, will they ask you to write a full proposal). So there's no excuse not to apply in the next two weeks, even if you only have a germ of an idea!"
