For a limit of how many total grants?
It would be 1 grant for 1 student
I see its already been added to the board meeting agenda, that’s good.
One thing that was a problem at FOSS4G2017 was trying to provide funding for multiple students, many wanted cash, which, while problematic, was doable at foss4g. I won’t be at FOSDEM to do this. Is it possible for OSGeo to fund the housing at FOSDEM directly for however many? Something to consider.
We can just set the conditions for reimbursement beforehand and they have to accept them.
Thanks,
Mike
