Hi Nicolas, I tend to aggree, I've not had a lot of spare time lately to spend on OSM personally. But I'm sure I can commit in working on this for the next year. Give ourselves specific goals and reach them by then. I think I can also network a lot better in order to get funding / sponsorship. I know lots of people are on board once I've been able to propose and talk to them. With good preperation, some stuff on paper that will work. It will probably give us a very good chance in winning it as well by 2017.
In any case : If you fail to plan, your plan will fail. Lets not fail to plan.
