[Flent-users] Re: putting a floor under flent

[Dave Taht <dave.taht@gmail.com>]

thx fo that! I'm surprised too, but it would not surprise me if 4.7k
of those hits were bots, too. :(

I'm really struggling with several of the requirements of the phase 1
POSE grant[1] - the letters of collaboration requirement to me seems
to more about finding collaborators to help organize, rather than do
the work. This is actually what I feel we need at this point, but
something I'm historically bad at. I've asked anna and mohit for
letters and a few others. Is this mic on? Anyone else out there want
to submit a small letter of collaboration, or provide a link to their
research using flent that I can cite?

"Re: This grant is NOT intended to fund the development of open-source
research products, including tools and artifacts. The POSE program is
also NOT intended to fund existing well-resourced open-source
communities and ecosystems. Instead, the program aims to fund new
managing organizations that catalyze community-driven development and
growth of the subject OSEs."

Phase 2 of the process involves spending the money on good stuff,
which I'm *really good at*. But certainly I agree with the overall
thrust being to get some sort of administrative help for the things we
don't do well.
