Additional to the grant:

Dear Nikesh,

my name is Shoichi and I'm member of La Scuola Open Source, a cooperative based in Bari, Italy.

We are in the process of preparing the documents and materials required for the application.

I would like to ask you just one question about the application, in particular concerning the "Ocean data for a thriving planet": we are thinking of using marine data combined with land data, but I did not understand if by "oceanic" you were referring specifically to Oceans (i.e.: the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean) or it was a general reference to all places that have a seashore. I've imagined that Italy can be considered a coastal nation, and also that Bari can be in particular considered as a coastal city thus being our application pertinent to the call.

We're all looking forward to taking part to this network of events!

Thanks in advance for your availability and looking forward to hearing from you,

Shoichi Yip

Dear Shoichi,

By "oceanic", we are just referring to all places that have a seashore :)

Your application will definitely be eligible for the "Ocean data for a thriving planet" category.

Looking forward!

Regards,
