===== Project List 2016 ===== === Rough Criteria for distributing our funds (1250eur)=== 1. Alignment with our strategic goals (!)\\ 2. Value to the community\\ 3. Return on investment \\ ________________ === What we need from the project Runners === Wiki update: Project definition, timeline & documentation \\ Keep discussing & developing the project / Wednesday feedback: Don’t let it fall through, let the community help when you’re stuck, and if for whatever reason you need to drop off, make sure the project handed onwards instead of abandoned\\ We’ll figure this out case by case, but we’re thinking of giving half the money upfront, where necessary, and then figuring out the rest with receipts. (in review)\\ === List of Projects === Essential equipment / Backup Fund: 100 EUR\\ hack66 drone racing track: 100 EUR (backup)\\ Audio/visual lab in a case: 70 - 100 EUR \\ EWANC (Emergency Wireless Area Network Cyprus): Scavenged!
