Hello everyone,

  It gives us great pleasure to announce an initial list of proposals
that have been accepted for the RGF-Sarai FLOSS fellowships programme.
 Here is the current list of fellows for the 2007-2008 cycle:
  o Sawood Alam, et al:

FLOSS fellows will be contacted independently to inform them of details.

 This year, we received over 30 proposals spanning a wide range of
topics, of which more than half were of high quality. It has been a
really difficult task for us to try to fit the number of excellent
 proposals into the available resources, and in fact we have decided
to actively solicit more funding in order to be able to accommodate
 more of these. Thus, in about 4 months time, we expect to make an
 announcement of a second set of fellowships from among the short
 list below:
