Hi @NRL-ashlie -

Thanks for the proposal. Sounds like a really exciting opportunity. I am going to reject this grant as a collaboration like this would be approved through a different budget and with feedback from other Stacks Foundation staff members. Could you please email me a summary version of your proposal at will@stacks.org so that I can forward it to our Events and Community Growth persons?

Thanks, Will
