Winners receive True30 1.2 GHz CPU, 1 Gb RAM, 32 Gb HDD servers for a period of 1 year. We sent the authors of applications official messages about the victory of their projects and information on the procedure for obtaining servers. One of the servers is already connected, the other two servers are still waiting for their owners. Congratulations to the winners again!

I urge the rest of the contest participants not to be upset and remind you that under the terms of the grant program, repeated participation in the following competitions is allowed with a break of at least 6 months after participating in three competitions.

The September competition on Habré shows that perhaps this was not a very successful solution. Despite the large number of interesting and good projects, voting activity was rather weak - only 239 people cast their votes. There was still a problem with usability - voting (polls) could not include text and links that would inform the reader about the essence of the survey, which is why a significant number of people remained unaware of the purpose of the vote. Therefore, the next competition will be held again on our website.

October grant competition

Three True22 servers were provided for the October grant competition: 960 MHz CPU, 512 Mb RAM, 16 Gb HDD, for a period of 1 year. Full conditions for participation are listed on the grant competition page .

Grants are provided for non-profit Internet projects working and in demand by the company. The main goal of the project should be to improve the world, perhaps in some narrow area - what the bureaucratic language is called to contribute to scientific, technical, social or cultural progress.

You can submit your application until October 20 at www.truevds.ru/grants.form . Voting will be held from October 21 to October 31. Grant issuance - from November 1.
