[OpenCitySmart] [Ica-osgeo-labs] Urban Transitions Global Summit

Tue Jan 12 06:05:09 PST 2016

P.S. No news yet on the NSF proposal some of us submitted. Status is still
"pending". It was submitted in September, it went under review in November.
They say decisions can be made up to 6 months, so it may be even into
March... (but probably sooner).

Cheers,
Charlie
