<p>This sounds very news worthy and deserves a press release.<br>
</p>
<p>1. It is great for developers to discover that some organisations
(Google) donate money to Open Source.<br>
</p>
<p>2. We should offer public good will to Google for being such
great community citizens. Lets help build the social capital of
organisations that help us. Hopefully that will encourage Google
to continue supporting us, and might even encourage other
organisations to adopt similar strategies. <br>

members,<br>
<br>
we would like to inform you that Google transfered some
financal gratitude to all 25 Google Code-in 2017
organizations for the hard work over the past couple of
month. It came as a surprise also for us.<br>
<br>
A big thank you to our mentors who are doing really a great
job!<br>
<br>
OSGeo`s treasurer informed us that he already received it.<br>
<br>
Kind regards<br>
