Thanks to the leadership of Allie Micka and R.J. Steinert, the Snowball initiative to provide tools for coordinating and funding Drupal initiatives is coming to the Boston area this long weekend for its first code sprint.

Hi Ken,
I wasn't at DC so I may have missed vital information...
Please could you clarify what the next stages for KDI are? Or give me an idea of when you'll know the next stages?

What do you suggest I do? Are we sticking with the same process?
Cheers Daniel

The last six months have been phenomenal. Too successful, in fact. We currently have six proposals under funding review, with over $600,000 (USD) in potential grants for Drupal projects.
