We're going to have to decide all the organisations who will be involved in this grant. Each of them is going to have to apply for a PIC

Simplest thing for us to do would be to bootstrap using existing companies or coops

blockades.org (I am doing this now)

protozoa ( @mix, @Piet, @Alanna)

rootsystems ( @mikey)

ACTION ITEM!

for example - given the tight deadlines here can anyone with a company or coop go ahead with the links below and apply for a PIC. We can figure stuff out on the fly and if we don't get our shit together, it won't hurt to have a PIC in reserve.
