Ok so you are saying that we should not submit any projects only Uganda
should submit. You are also saying that you can buy, equip and maintain a bus
and volunteers with USD20,000? I think you should go on record clearly with
respect to your position.

Dear all:


Just a few things to consider regarding an Uhuru Bus initiative / project
proposal:


(1) the grant covers the next 9 months, so it could happen in 2014 only. It
is therefore not necessarily an immediate project for which the time is not
right right now;


(2) if the proposal writing process reveals that organising this would indeed
be too expensive or too complicated logistically, the authors of the
proposals could always scale it down by, e.g. proposing a regional version
(East Africa, West Africa or Southern Africa) first;


(3) It would generally be great in my view to have some plan for this in
place. Even if is not funded this time - e.g. in order to fund several
smaller projects rather than one big event- such a proposal could still be
used to apply elsewhere or even again with Google at a later stage. And it
could also serve as the concrete basis for further discussions on this list.

Personally, I therefore support the Ugandan's team offer to take this
forward. Looking forward to hear more thoughts on this.


Best,


Tobias

I am not in favour of the Uhuru bus project I believe that to be effective it
would need a lot more money than the grant is making available but Paul
please do convince me...

Dear Tobias,
Thank you for the clarifications. I guess as you said we should apply in big
numbers and the Uhuru Bus sounds an ideal project. Can CC Uganda put forward
this on behalf of the African Affiliates? If not someone else can do it. Will
have to work on the proposal soon.
Paul.

Dear Paul, dear CC Africa colleagues:


Paul, let me use your email as a peg to remind everybody on the CC Africa and
CC Africa OER mailing lists of this wonderful opportunity to apply for the
Affiliate Project Grant , thanks to Google. In other words, Google has given
CC some money to support several CC-related projects around the world in the
next 9 months. Please have a look at this website for a detailed description
of what this Grant is all about:
http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Affiliate_Project_Grants


This certainly is a great opportunity for us in Africa to do some of the
projects we long wanted to do but never could because we had no money to make
them a reality. In this light, it would be a real pity if we did not submit
several proposals from affiliate countries and other communities in Africa. I
particularly appeal to the CC public leads in our affiliate countries to come
up with some project ideas/proposals before the deadline of 8 July. The
aforementioned website will give you some food for thought of what kind of
projects we could do. Also remember that many of us really liked the idea of
having an African version of the Libre Bus initiative (
http://www.librebusconosur.org/en ), i.e. an Uhuru Bus. Perhaps someone wants
to take the lead on this and submit a proposal?


Now, coming back to your question Paul of how much money is available and
whether the money is to be spent per country or per region. Google has given
money to CC per region. The African region has received a total of USD 20,000
(which by the way needs to be paid pack if we do not spend it). This means
that we could either have one big project for that amount or several smaller
projects in different countries (e.g. 6 projects for USD 3,000 each).
Personally I would prefer multiple smaller projects but then again if we had
a big collaborative project like Uhuru Bus I would not have a problem to
spend it all on one. I hope this answers your question?


Please do not hesitate to contact Alex or myself should you have any further
questions regarding this grant.


Best,


Tobias

Alex and Tobias,
Please assist on this I had communication with Meryl from CC and it would
appear that they really meant one project per region hence one for Africa! I
wish the could at least say one project per country.
Paul.

Hi friends,

I hope you are all doing well.
On behalf of AIDS Law Project, I would like to inquire about the grant
announced. I am affiliate with the Kenya CC team.
As part of promoting health info access, we are proposing to develop, print
and disseminate a popular version of the EAC Trips flexibilities policy,
2013. Kindly advice if your funding covers the same.

Best,
Paul Ogendi

Hi all,

As Jess mentioned in an email earlier, Google has provided CC with grant
money to seed the work of our global network by funding innovative
affiliate and community projects over the next 9 months.

I'm excited to announce that the application process for these grants is
now open for submissions through July 8. Applicants are eligible to receive
$1 - $20,000 USD towards their project(s), although we encourage smaller
funded projects.

Further details - including example projects, how to apply, and the
selection process - can be found on the grant wiki page here:
http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Affiliate_Project_Grants

We are looking forward to reviewing all the exciting project ideas that
come from our affiliate community. We are hoping for at least one project
per region, so we strongly encourage everyone to apply with any projects
they have in mind, whether small (eg writing and printing factsheets) or
large (eg running a region wide series of workshops).

Let us know if you have any questions.

Meryl
