<p>Sorry, I should have been clear. There was supposed to be a micro grant announcement by OSMF as discussed in the board minutes: <a href="https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Board/Minutes/2018-07-19#Microgrants_update">https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Board/Minutes/2018-07-19#Microgrants_update</a></p>
<p>The link I posted has been updated after SotM and now states:</p>
<p><u>Suggestion</u>: Session during <a class="external text" href="http://2018.stateofthemap.org/" rel="nofollow">State of the Map 2018</a> to get some community input. Proposed as a starting point, since not everyone is going to SotM. <em>(post-meeting addition: There was a SotM lightning talk on 2018-07-30, room S1.5, for community feedback).<br /></em></p>
<p>The call for feedback should go on the global mailing list too - hopefully this will happen soon...?</p>
<p>An OSMF micro grant program has been dragging it's heals in OSMF for a long time now. I have no idea what the blocker is but if it is administrative then maybe the Local Chapters can help. I've ran the SotM Scholars program for the last 3 years so have some experience. Rebecca (the speaker of the session you linked to) is UK based so I could ask her as well.</p>

It seems there's been a talk about that by HOT:<br /> <a href="https://2018.stateofthemap.org/2018/T057-OSM_Community_Grants__sharing_experiences/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://2018.stateofthemap.org/2018/T057-OSM_Community_Grants__sharing_experiences/</a><br /> (I wasn't at that talk, though, and haven't yet watched the video)<br /> <br /> Are you suggesting that local chapters should receive micro grants from<br /> other local chapter or from the OSMF?<br /> <br /> Regards,<br /> Raphael<br /> <br /> <br /> _______________________________________________<br /> Local-chapters mailing list<br /> <a href="mailto:Local-chapters@openstreetmap.org">Local-chapters@openstreetmap.org</a><br /> <a href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/local-chapters" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/local-chapters</a></div>
