I wonder if Google would consider "managing" additional donations, from a point of view of infrastructure paying the students, and keeping everyone working on the same terms and conditions. In any case, it can't hurt to approach them about it (unless the response might be... if you can afford to pay students, we're not going to fund you). -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev
