Re: [44net] Internet linked RDF networks - Apply for a grant?

There has been a suggestion that this would be a candidate for a grant from ARDC. Here are some general considerations for a research and development grant to be successful: - You need to apply as a qualified recipient (a 501(c)(3), educational institution, government entity) or have a qualified entity act as the fiscal sponsor. - The products (hardware/software/documentation) must be Open Source and freely available - The grant can include engineering and development costs, including tools, labor, prototypes, etc. Given this, one can apply at https://www.ampr.org/apply Personally, I would recommend a design that includes RF circuitry and GPS (w/PPS) and could be a Pi HAT, USB, or network attached device. If you want wide adoption keep the cost down, and provide a design for good packaging. An open source design can be manufactured and sold, but the manufacturer would not have exclusive rights to use the design. -- *John Hays - K7VE* 📱+1-858-477-9904 <8584779904> 📠866-309-6077 PO Box 311 Kingston, WA 98346 *Outreach Manager*
