[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Knight Foundation Grant

[Yamil Suarez]

I am very interested in the bootcamp as both a student and a trainer
(for the areas I am strong in). The push to make installation easier
is also something that we should look into again.

I would probably even be willing to pay my own way so definitely would attend if travel was covered.  I would like to contribute code but so far all of my other commitments have kept me from sorting it out on my own.  If I had a place to go so I could get away from my desk for a few days and learn how the process works I would definitely show up.

This isn't a firm commitment, but, if I hear crickets on this question, I know it's not something we should pursue further. Also, please note, my idea is that any travel expenses related to the bootcamp would be covered by the grant.
