[Ica-osgeo-labs] STDF Grant for Leaders in Innovation Fellowships (LIF) UK-Egypt Newton-Mosharafa Program

[Charles Schweik]

Hi,

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 Tanzeel Rehman Khan (cc'd above). You two might want to talk.

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.

I think there are two models:

1) Building the thematic group (e.g., AgGIS) and communicating to that
subgroup (like we did for the OpenCitySmart grant proposal); or,

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.

Good luck on your efforts Rania. Keep us posted on your progress.
