[HOT] HOT awarded Knight Foundation Prototype Fund grant

[Cristiano Giovando]

Hey all,

Quick update to confirm that we started this project and I will be
coordinating it together with Blake. The plan is to have a traditional
HOT Tech Challenge published in a week or so and developer(s) hired by
the end of January.

If anyone is interested to participate in a community design process,
we are having the initial meeting this week to discuss goals and
requirements to be included in the tech challenge.

Proposed dates are Thursday Dec-10 or Friday Dec-11 at 16:00UTC.
Please review this draft document and add your name and availability
in section 7 if you are interested to participate

I look forward to speaking with some of you later this week. Please
let me know if you have questions or feedback in the meantime.

Thanks!

Cristiano
