There is no specific list.  There is a wiki on the foss-means-business.org
site, and IMO discussion can happen in any part of the free software
community and in the wider software using community.

The email address for this is sponsorship at foss-means-business.org

There is no info pack, but if you can send suggestions there, there are a
few people reading it (I'm on there, but I don't do too much on that side).

Yes, this would be good.  The agenda is currently full:
http://foss-means-business.org/Agenda

But there could be some way to integrate a funding discussion into the break
out sessions.  I have limited, but non-zero, experience in FP6 work.

That's a nice place to get listed!
