Following the last meeting Graham produced a funding proposal which Stuart took
to the BCS SIGiST committee. The
proposal was accepted and the BCS SIGiST committee has agreed to provide up to
£3k of funding in the first year to support the development of domain/technique
examples. Upon completion of each domain/technique example the authors will
receive £200. Regular updates will be provided to the BCS SIGiST detailing how
their sponsorship money for technique writing is being allocated and spent
The aim of pursuing funding is to gain a level of commitment from the
authoring group to the production of the domain/technique examples. To achieve
this pairing groups were agreed. The next step is to develop a plan for the year
ahead.
