I am not referring to the scholar assessment process - i have no idea
what software is being used for that. I am - as said - referring to
the application submission form - which in the previous years has been
Google Forms services, which is not Open Source software. If you want
to know about possible Open Source alternatives you might want to ask
the program committee - who use Open Source software for talk
submission, which surely can also be adapted to facilitate scholarship
applications.
I won't comment in more detail here about the issues of scholar
recruitment and selection in the current program. I have written
extensively about that and summarized the issues in my last mail and it
is up to the powers-that-be (board and SotM-WG members) to decide if
they become active here. I can only say that for myself this has
become a serious issue in my consideration if to visit a future SotM
since i can hardly morally justify my money being used in this way.
