RE: Mellon awards update

["Bastian, Waldo" <waldo bastian intel com>]

Accessibility would be an excellent candidate. I suggest to find a
University that is interested to work on that and work together with
them to define a proposal. See for example
http://dot.kde.org/1161821085/ on how KDE is part of the SQO-OSS
project. Adriaan can surely tell you more of what they did to get that
set up and funded.

Cheers,
Waldo
