Now that I've won my social security case, so long as there's no collapse of Federal and Nevada governments (not an unrealistic concern alas) I want to pay all the support the #webdev and related communities-at-large have given to me forward. I have an idea and want all input ...

The Holzschlag Trust, which was formed in 2013 by @knowbility and maintained by @BigDesign folks like @BrianKSullivan with such kindness to me in hard times, well - I'm thinking it should be opened up to others in the industry for modest crisis support. To do this I need you!

There needs to be some guidelines and dare I use the term "standards" (heh) in place as well as rotating teams of judges who will determine separately from me (no personal bias) to grant any awards the come from fundraising efforts for crises in our community. What do you think?

The idea is to create a means of aiding friends and colleagues who for specific reasons (war, natural disaster, sudden illness and//or death of self and/or of primary partner are examples) need a couple of hundred dollars or so to see them through a rough patch.

The Trust will of course be completely #openBook #openSource and all incoming and outgoing funds will be in the public eye always and forever. There will need to be a sort order (ha) for who gets funded and good evidence as to why judges chose a given application and funds.

Anyway, I thought this would be a useful channel to both do something long-term and lasting for the community of webfolk who have cared for me with such kindness, love and generosity. Thanks for reading, I hope you will leave feedback on this idea. xo/m
