Why should they be kept off list? It was a good grant and FNF is just as capable and valid to apply for it. Plus if it was on boing boing it's public. Very curious behavior.

Pete - Had Charles proposed collaborating with us in applying for the grant, then this would fit into the model you're describing. However, having both of our orgs apply for the same single grant is effectively directly competing with us for the same pot, since we're both working on similar projects. And, since we're a newer project and have yet to deploy any nodes, FNF is considerably more likely to win it. I of course support open submissions and reporting, hence my creation of this wiki page <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Funding> on the sudoroom wiki.

I tend to agree. We probably won't be able to contribute to an effort on our end, based on the time constraints. Just know that as far as I'm concerned, if we *did* have time, I would certainly want to do it in collaboration with SudoMesh. Rising tides and all ships and such. Not trying to poach! imw On Thu, Dec 05, 2013 at 04:00:33AM -0800, Mitar wrote: (private wrote: ------------------------------------------------------------------------

apart from that, i also fail to see the competition when two or more groups present different proposals to the same call: no matter which of them win, that means money coming in for the mesh/wifi/floss big community, which produce libre software, which means everyone wins

+1! a much needed resource cheers! _______________________________________________ mesh mailing list mesh(a)lists.sudoroom.org http://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/mesh
