[Eg-oversight-board] Call for Agenda Items and Meeting Reminder

[Sharon Herbert]

Following up on the last discussion item from today's meeting -  
unfortunately, all of the grants listed at  
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/grants/ are historical/expired. Mozilla  
outlines their four focus areas to be considered for a grant, that  
they are more likely to fund a grant if they are intimately familiar  
with your organization and if it's tied to the Mozilla mission. They  
expect someone from the project to serve as a champion by getting  
involved in the Mozilla community by contributing to their mission and  
becoming indispensable to the Mozilla community before discussing a  
grant. Maybe we have some folks already working in the Mozilla  
community, but still seems Evergreen isn't likely to fit their criteria.

I'll keep casting an eye around for potential funding opportunities.
