Schedule FrOSCon 2025

Come and meet the Prototype Fund! No matter if you have received funding in the past years, are currently working on your prototype, want to find out more about the program or have questions about your application: we're here to meet our community in person.

Designed as an informal gathering, this meetup offers an opportunity to reconnect with friends from our previous funding rounds and meet Prototype Fund alumni and the people behind the program. Anyone interested in receiving funding is welcome, and we are happy to answer questions about the application process or how the Prototype Fund works.

The Prototype Fund is the first low-threshold funding program for independent developers in Germany who develop innovative Free and Open Source Software from society and for society. The funding program, which was initially launched in 2017, has been relaunched during the past year and will accompany around 100 software projects on their way from idea to software prototype in four classes until 2029. The funding focuses on data security and software infrastructure.

This meetup can accommodate both English and German speakers.
