[Linux-aus] Linux Grant Application - Hubcaps to Creative Hubs: Open Source

[Cameron Tudball]

Hello,


With some regret, Council have rejected this grant request.

While Council found that this grant had great merit and applauded its goals, we decided that the outcome of the grant was not in alignment with the goals of Linux Australia or of a direct benefit to members in general.  It also doesn't sufficiently advance open data or open source in the Australasian community.

I would also like to note that the Linux Australia President, Kathy Reid, did not participate in the discussion of this grant and abstained from the voting process.

Subject: [Linux-aus] Linux Grant Application - Hubcaps to Creative Hubs: Open Source


Dear Members of the Linux Australia Community,



I am the lead researcher on a community funded project titled Hubcaps to Creative Hubs, set in the Geelong region. We appreciate the opportunity to apply for funds, from the Linux Australia Grants Scheme, to extend the project through an open source dataset that will benefit schools, community organisations, government, businesses and future researchers. Should there be any queries in the assessment process I would be more than happy to address them promptly.



We look forward to your response in due course and please note that the particular terms and conditions for this project will need to be finalised in the form of a research contract agreed to by both parties prior to the commencement of any project work.



Thankyou kindly for your attention,



Cristina
