[SO-devel] Soliciting letters of support

[Karen E. <kei...@ge...>]

Dear developers,
It is grant writing time for SO.
SO has been supported by two grants up to now, the ontology development via
the Gene Ontology Consortium and the server/software via an R01 from the
NHGRI.

As the GOC funding to develop SO runs out with that P41 grant, I am
proposing to bundle both aspects together. The deadline is mid September.

I am looking for letters of support from the community from people/groups
who actively use SO, either the ontology or the server tools or both.

If you agree to write a letter about why SO is important to you, I will send
you details - specific aims, our latest paper, and more.
Please respond to me rather than the entire mailing list.

Many thanks for your support of SO over the past four years.
And thanks to the people who have already written/agreed to write letters.

Cheers,
Karen
