Good point, will fix. There is no way on github to apply for sosorship for a single project only, one can only apply for an organization (no idea why). I wasn't sure how to explicitly refer to the HPX project while applying for the STE||AR-GROUP organization. > And I suppose the millions will be linked to Harmut's > STE||AR account?
