New grants, calls for proposals, and a healthy Internet

Evening, hacks and hackers. A slew of innovation grants and residency programs, headed by one of Hacks/Hackers's original founders, Burt Herman, have been announced by the US-based Lenfest Institute. Priority is given to Philadelphia-area projects, but it's applicants can work from anywhere.

Check out the sections on job and funding opps for more details. And if you've got a moment, please help Mozilla measure the health of the Internet. They extended the deadline to the 16th, and input is greatly appreciated.
