that would have been my next suggestion (since we missed the Google 
deadline).

My suggestion would have been to fund USD 2000 per project (any maybe 3 
of them), whereas the projects should be focused on interoperabilty as 
the OSR-101 spec I have suggested (whereas I wouldn't expect anyone to 
do the full thing, but rather just a part of it).

The problem is that OSCOM doesn't have any money for organizing another 
conference and sponsor USD 6000 (3 x 2000) at the same time. Also it 
takes some time to organize things (setting goals, checking the results, 
etc.) and the question is who is going
to do this. This is why it would have been nice to participate within 
the Google thingy.

I would suggest that we discuss this within the board first and see if 
we are able to come up with a solution.
