[foundation-board] Fwd: DM2E: excellent news!

[Jonathan Gray]

To keep the board updated: it looks like DM2E, an EU bid that we were
part of, has entered negotiation phase. This apparently means that is
it reasonably likely that it will be funded.

Jason: suggest we catch up about this on Monday.

All the best,

Jonathan


---------- Forwarded message ----------

Dear all,
this message will probably come as a surprise after my announcment
sent out yesterday - but a pleasant surprise: I just called the Head
of Unit in Luxembourg, Pat Manson, who told me that DM2E will go into
negotiations, which is excellent news! It means that we will have to
accept some budget cutting (as usual) and there may be a number of
other minor issues - but we now are very, very likely to get funded!
Negotiation meetings will likely take place during the first two weeks
of September.
This makes my start of my holidays (within a few hours) a quite happy one!
Best -- Stefan Gradmann
