Fwd: [Sdi-northamerica] New funding opportunities on the horizon from Geoconnections (Canada)

[Allan Doyle]

Of likely interest to our Canadian component... GeoConnections has  
funded a lot of good open source and standards.

Perhaps we could collectively leverage some of this to further  
OSGeo's activities?

> public safety, environment and sustainable development, and matters  
> of importance to Aboriginal peoples.

> The third AO will solicit proposals from governments, academia, non-

> strategic and business plans for using the CGDI within  
> organizations, and to define user requirements for online or  
> standalone applications that leverage the CGDI.

> The fourth AO will solicit proposals from end-users to develop

> Full details regarding these AOs will be posted to the
