<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>I just wanted to say that it is GREAT to see these conversations trying to go after collaborative grants. Rania, in FOSS4G Como there was some discussion about a certification system for FOSS4G educational material led by <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:12.7px;line-height:19.05px">Tanzeel Rehman Khan (cc'd above). You two might want to talk. </span></div><div><br></div><div>And generally, for what it is worth, time permitting, I am happy to read any drafts of grant proposals in our network people produce with an eye as a 'reviewer'. I hope others will offer that service as well. I think we as a community should build social norms here trying to especially help younger researchers in our community go after and get grants around open geographical science -- especially ones that build the GeoForAll effort.</div><div><br></div><div>I think there are two models: </div><div><br></div><div>1) Building the thematic group (e.g., AgGIS) and communicating to that subgroup (like we did for the OpenCitySmart grant proposal); or,</div><div><br></div><div>2) Sending emails to the full ica-osgeo-labs list like this to build the possible collaboration subgroup and then email the full list when you are facing a puzzle or need some brainstorming of some kind. </div><div><br></div><div>Good luck on your efforts Rania. Keep us posted on your progress.</div><div><br></div><div>Charlie Schweik</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Oct 6, 2015 at 6:57 AM, Rania Elsayed <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ranyaalsayed@gmail.com" target="_blank">ranyaalsayed@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-family:'arial black',sans-serif;font-size:small">STDF Grant for
