From kathy at kathyreid.id.au Fri Apr 1 08:22:17 2022 From: kathy at kathyreid.id.au (Kathy Reid) Date: Fri, 1 Apr 2022 08:22:17 +1100 Subject: [Grants] Grant Application from Lyndsey Jackson for Big Sand Band - Regional SA In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Dear Grants List, I am writing this in my capacity as an LA member providing feedback on a grant request. This grant proposal is well thought through and well costed. It is linked to LA's core values of building open technology and open culture, with the added benefit of reaching regional participants and communities. The costs here all seem appropriate, and inclusive of costs that make the project workable - such as a per diem. Yes, this is a little out of the box, but I am also pleased to see something like this come through as a Grant request - the Grants program enables this sort of risk-taking. I would appreciate more information on the artefacts that Sally Coleman will be producing. I also note that Unity is not free and open source software - it is free to use, but not is not open source [0]. Is there a possibility of the artefacts being produced in something that is free and open source like Blender?

Apologies for the delay, I've been on leave. Yesterday I got in touch with Sally and the team.?The tech is building out in Unity and it's a bit late in the day to change that - and the investment for that goes way over this grant.?The artifacts in this application are more shared material, so created to inspire others in how they can use this concept in their own regions and projects.

Is that they have a limit to their technical ability and create in what's easiest, but then supporting them to move to open source fits with their values of art and art being inclusive and accessible.?Ideally, I'll support other workshops created around having Sally in the region. I've got two artists helping on some AR art and we are moving that to open source.?This opportunity, although left field will create something special in a region that doesn't get these opportunities. I am committed to making this the first part of a bigger puzzle, and openness and knowledge sharing is the only way (in my opinion) that tech projects can be community driven and accessible to small communities.?I completely understand if we can't make it fit this grant criteria.?Thanks,?Lyndsey -------- Original message --------From: Kathy Reid Date: 1/4/22 7:52 am (GMT+09:30) To: jackson.lyndsey at gmail.com, council at linux.org.au, grants at lists.linux.org.au Subject: Re: [Grants] Grant Application from Lyndsey Jackson for Big Sand Band - Regional SA Dear Grants List,I am writing this in my capacity as an LA member providing feedback on a grant request.This grant proposal is well thought through and well costed.

Council members were impressed with the quality of the application, the information provided in it and the follow up given on the grants list. We are pleased to inform you that the grant application was approved - congratulations! The grant is to cover the expenses laid out in the application to allow Sally Coleman to travel to the FLAME festival in connection with Big Sand Band. Please email the Linux Australia treasurer (treasurer at linux.org.au) to determine how the grant funds will be paid and make the necessary administrative arrangements. As per the grant guidelines, Linux Australia request that you provide a brief report about the activities funded by this grant for inclusion in our Annual Report. This should highlight how the funding benefitted the community in light of Linux Australia's values[1]. We ask that this be sent via email to council at linux.org.au by the end of November to allow sufficient time for its incorporation into the report. We also request acknowledgement of Linux Australia's support for the project. This may be through the inclusion of Linux Australia's logo on a website and project materials, inclusion in credits, or other actions appropriate to the project. Please get in touch if additional guidance is required. Some concern was expressed during the Council's discussion about how the project's assets might be made available to the community. Linux Australia would be happy to help out if it would help. We can, for example, host the assets through our website or on our mirror site. Please contact us to make the appropriate arrangements. Finally, it was pointed out during Council's discussion that there are a number of government funding programs which provide matching grants for community and regional events like the FLAME festival. It may be possible for you to utilise these now or in the future. We can provide information about these if you are interested. If you have further questions feel free to contact myself or any member of the Linux Australia Council.

I really appreciate how much you all work and the effort it takes to raise funds to have them available. We will do something really great and inspiring with this.?Lots of great points raised, I agree with all of them. Will come back re hosting and tech support. The matching grant point is very true, it's easier for artists to get these type of grants because they have demonstrated community support, I think that the story here of having Linux Aus as a first follower is going to carry a lot of momentum.Have a lovely long weekend all, I'll start mobilising and be back in touch soon!?Lyndsey? -------- Original message --------From: Jonathan Woithe Date: 14/4/22 9:38 pm (GMT+09:30) To: jackson.lyndsey at gmail.com Cc: grants at lists.linux.org.au Subject: Big Sand Band (Regional SA) - grant application decision Big Sand Band (Regional SA) - Lyndsey JacksonThe Linux Australia Council discussed this grant application at its meetingon 13 April 2022.?
