Hi all, HOT's Fundraising WG (FWG) will be meeting in a little under an hour (15:00 UTC/GMT). Like all of HOT's working groups, everyone is invited to participate and collaborate.
Activities of this working group center around identifying and evaluating grants and other funding opportunities and developing project proposals in conjunction with local community and/or international partners for good grant opportunities. If you like the idea of helping build HOT and local OSM groups and like telling the story of how OSM and open geo-data can have a positive impact around the world, this is a good working group for you. We also try to help build project development skills and experience so any local OSM folks seeking more support for projects they would like to do would benefit from participating. At the moment we are also starting to work on HOT's year end fundraiser and some options for making HOT t-shirts, mugs, phone cases, etc available. We meet on skype typically, so just send me your skype name directly and I will add you to the group. My skype name is jblakegirardot or just send me an email.
