This is so impressive and inspiring Helen. A massive and ridiculously belated WOO HOOOOOOO!
To have a programme that knits together the collaborative cyberperformance-making practices with the creation of FOSS mobile techical infrastructure... It's really hard to do and to get funded. This is a massive testament to your imagination and perseverance. Really look forward to updates from you and the upstage network about developments as they happen. Respect!
