    <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>

            <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>
