[Freegis-list] OSS Funding

[Adrian Custer]

Good, good,

I was about to write that email, from the academic standpoint. When I
sit down and apply for a grant, it will include a chunk of money for
software, all of which will go to fund free software. Does the freegis
site have a link to consultants willing to implement features for a fee?
It would be a useful resource.

Also, it's a shame more computer science undergraduates and graduates
don't get roped into free software projects. It seems like a great way
to do supervised development for academic learning. Again, when I move
to a position where I can take on mentoring students, it is an intent of
mine to do this.

Thanks for the post, I agree with it entirely.

cheers,
