For some reason I did not get your reply (as you know this has happened
with other emails too). Markus pointed to the items you sent, but we didn't
make it to discuss them or the discussion deviated into other things; I do
not remember tbh. Apologies

I think the best would be that the students themselves provided us with a
draft news item for the website, so we then use it to show off and call for
donations to grant more of these scholarships/awards. I created 2 twitter
threads when Caitlin and Linda were more or less in the middle of the 2
month period, but I agree we need something else. I have been calling for
help to generate more content, but there have been no answers at all.

   2) If we want to claim the money budgeted for GRASS GIS in the OSGeo

No, we did not. Do we need a motion to claim for the money or can I or
anyone else in the PSC write to the board on behalf of the whole PSC and
claim for it?

Volunteers?

Best,
