> Projects in scope

> What do we expect in return?

> We expect to see security improvements to open source software.
> Ideally, the project can provide us with a short blurb or pointers to
> some of the completed work that was possible because of our support.
> We don’t want to add bureaucracy, but would like to measure the

GRUB is widely used. Maybe some individuals and organizations working on 
GRUB could be paid for some of their great GRUB work they are doing.


Kind regards,

Paul
