Hi Re the funding application we made, sad to say we didn't get it. Huge thanks to Doc and Hibby for co-writing it, I think it was a good application put together in a very short period of time. The work done this time round should be useful for future applications, so it's a good foundation to build on. We got some useful and constructive feedback, so that'll help too.
There is more info, including the submission and feedback letter at https://wiki.57north.org.uk/index.php/Funding_Applications I plan to keep an eye out for other funding options for the space, but give a shout out if you see anything interesting along these lines.
