[Ica-osgeo-labs] Scholarships

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi everyone,

I saw a news item[1] that made me wonder if we (Geo for All) could 
create scholarships for students; is it a far stretched dream to imagine 
one scholarship (a one-time payment, plus a plaque) to a single graduate 
student at each of our ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS labs around the world each year? 
  The award would be given to a student who promotes Open Geospatial in 
their education and research, and would be done in the name of the 
supporting organizations (ICA, ISPRS, OSGeo).

What do you think?  Or has this topic been discussed already?

Could this in fact be made into a 'requirement' for becoming an 
ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS lab?
