The basic idea: 30k€ over six months to develop an open source 
prototype

Condition is that you have your primary residence in Germany. 
Since we have some germans in our community this might be 
interesting.

It reminds me of the Google Summer of Code. You need to have a 
project idea. The topics are digital tools for citizens, data

If you or someone else has time, he should definitely prepare an
