[okfn-coord] Meeting with Shuttleworth Foundation tomorrow

Wed May 28 13:39:53 UTC 2008

Hi all,

Just to say I'm speaking to Mark Surman from the Shuttleworth tomorrow 
afternoon about becoming an official partner of OpenEverything.

I will also make preliminary enquiries about the possibility of getting 
funded by the Shuttleworth Foundation:

I will also ask him about who it would be best to talk to at the Young 
Foundation about getting general overhead funding, and/or specific 
project funding, for the OKF - as they are in contact with them about 
OpenEverything.

I will enquire about:

  * CKAN,
  * Weaving History,
  * Where does my money go?
  * a project - much like the JISC bid - to develop Open Shakespeare, 
Open Milton and others in an educational setting alongside students and 
lecturers. Basically a toolkit for open resources in the humanities.

Let me know if there's anything you'd like me to specifically ask or 
talk about!

Jonathan
