Thank you Rebecca. Since we the Bangladesh OSM community doesn't have any
formal registration, we are suggesting the University chapters to apply for
the micro grants since each chapters have a structured committee with
adviser from the institution. I can say that HOT gonna get 3/4 micro-grant
application from OSMBD community.

We hope and believe that few awardees of this program will be from
Bangladesh.
