Time is running out for IBM i user-organisations to apply for a $2000 (€1470/£1175) grant from the Maxava iFoundation.

The deadline for applications is Monday, June 30.

Auckland, New Zealand-based high availability specialist Maxava has handed out $150,000 over the last three years. Once again, there’s a funding pool of $50,000 for grants in 2014-15. Successful applicants in Europe in the past have included iManifest EMEA and Austria’s Schule für EDV.

Allan Campbell, CEO of Maxava, says: “Maxava is exclusively committed to the IBM i. We established the iFoundation to encourage the continuing growth of the IBM i community and the development of the people that operate within it, and we are delighted to extend our support through the Maxava iFoundation for another year.”
