[FM Discuss] Fwd: Grants

[Edward Cherlin]

I just now sent this to my group. I think that this organization would
be perfect for funding certain FLOSS Manuals projects. Are you aware of them?

It's time we applied to CITRIS for funding for some of our development
projects. We spoke to one of their people at International Syposium on
Digital Earth 5 two years ago, and he was quite positive about wanting
to work with us and provide funding. Here are some starting points.
You will recognize the match between what they are talking about and
what we are organizing to do.

I left a message for Prof. Brewer to get thing started.
