Looks like OSDL has, at long last, started to look at open source beyond the Linux Kernel and drivers.
They will be providing a fund for open source projects, just the kind of thing that could help the development of both Perl 6 and Parrot. It's on groklaw and el reg, as well as the osdl pages so I assume somebody from TPF will have noticed.. urls if you're interested are :
