For a limit of how many total grants?<br>
<br>
<br>
It would be 1 grant for 1 student<br>
<br>
<br>
I see its already been added to the board meeting agenda, that’s good.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
<br>
We can just set the conditions for reimbursement beforehand and they have to accept them.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
