Description
Thomas: http://www.boingboing.net/2011/06/17/wikipedia-is-giving.html
PPI is definitely a project that would be worthy of such donation
Lola: We are not an educational company, we have no chance to win.
Marcel: We are educational in terms of copyright.
Thomas: Candidate has to be a not-for-profit organization.
Pat: Has friends who engage in wikipedia. He's going to ask them about this issue and will write a draft of a letter of application which he'll discuss with the co-chairmen. Report in the next meeting.

I started to write on a draft at http://ppi.piratenpad.de/112
However I have missed to read the actual description page before the board decision of 21st June in detail and just see this comment by now at http://blog.wikimedia.org/2011/06/13/server-decommission-donations/
"At this time we have closed submissions. We have received well over 100 requests, and will not have enough servers to cover those, let alone more. Thanks for the submissions! ~ RobH 2011-06-18 10:00 EST"
=> the submission deadline was almost closed when we first got informed about it by Rok Andrée on 17th June (PP Slovenia) [however I wrote a thank you mail]
=> therefore it does not make any sense to invest in an an application request anymore.
=> hence task and application draft closed
