-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey,
AMichael can give a better answer than me, but the short answer is this: the Awesome Foundation isn't affiliated with SkullSpace, we just have a bunch of overlapping members. If the project is cool enough - and last time I checked, there weren't many cool projects in the queue - it had a decent chance of being funded, whether or not it's SkullSpace related. So, whether or not it's a SkullSpace project, submit it! :) Ron On 2012-11-13 10:33, R Rodd wrote: > I have a question on the scope of projects that the review group is looking > for - if it is something that benefits Skullspace members (present and > future) more than Winnipeg citizens as a whole would that be too narrow of > an impact to be considered? > > For example, I think a semi-autonomous robot "dog" for the space would make > a nice pet/mascot and framework for robotics skill development as well as a > potential attention-getter for things like ComicCon/JimCon booths in the > future.
