As someone just pointed out to me, I should add this further clarification:
All team members must be U.S. citizens and at least 18 years of age. (If there was an "osgeo-discuss-usa" list, I'd have used that instead. Apologies.) On a happier note, though, also observe that: There are no specific academic, professional or experience-related requirements. If it is not obvious from a team's resumes, the team should make a credible case that it has the skills necessary to accomplish what it proposes. _mpg -----Original Message----- From: Michael P.

Gerlek [mailto:m...@flaxen.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 9:54 AM To: OSGeo Discussions (discuss@lists.osgeo.org) Subject: DARPA-funded short-term incubator for geospatial data analysis DARPA and George Mason University are running a very novel, incubator-like opportunity for small teams of people interested in a chance to pursue radical new ideas in the areas of geospatial and visual data analysis. If you've got an idea for something truly different in the geo data world, and would like to spend 8 weeks exploring the idea with a $50K budget, you can find more details and background here: http://go.usa.gov/wo5 http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/10/darpa-innovation-house-project-imaging-data/ http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/innovations/post/darpa-george-mason-seek-trailblazers-for-eight-week-innovation-house-study-program/2012/07/10/gJQAv06naW_blog.html Deadline is July 31st, so act fast!
