Hi Fernando!
Thanks for your comments, I can respond to some of them (c:
(Funding for infrastructure)
I think this is a great idea!! but I will like to see included part of the funds to sustain the people that will sustains this infraestructure
I think so too, because it is like an investment for the future. Although you can see from the running poll results that this idea is ranked somewhere in the middle.
(Fund existing projects that have the potential to be ubiquitous)
How this would be different from collaborative development projects? I think there is a lot of overlapping with the established projects track
It’s about strategy. Usually folks work on whatever they specialise in, and then try for ubiquity. In this case we put ubiquity first, and organise the effort in whatever field is most ripe for it. It’s opportunistic.
(Collaborative Development Funding)
Not sure how this track worked… there was not much feedback at least in the forum except from the pipetting robot and the PCR project. Maybe this track can be connected with some kind of mentorship like open hardware makers…?
You are prescient! Stay tuned!
I was wondering also if we don’t need some funds to cover community roles like community manager (or even people at the community council) and things like gosh infraestructure (ie forum or self hosted apps
I’ve been thinking a bit about this, can you share more of your thoughts?
