<div dir="auto">Hi all,<br />
<br />
the Engineering Working Group<span style="background-color:#ecbcbc"> (EWG)</span> wants to support OpenStreetMap's open<span style="background-color:#ece6d4">-</span>source software ecosystem. To this end, we are working towards <span style="background-color:#ece6d4">the</span> first iteration of a grant programme. Because this will be a learning experience for us, we plan to start with a relatively small amount of work on core OSM software. Future rounds will be open to a larger spectrum of software and proposals.<br />
<br />
As a first step, we've compiled a framework to guide our selection and funding process:<br />

We would like to invite the community to review it and provide feedback.<br />
<br />
By the way: <span style="background-color:#ece6d4">the Engineering Working Group</span> is still welcoming people who want to join as members. We're also looking for people who can help with taking notes during our public meetings, which take place every two weeks.<br />
