Ahahah! Yuhuh! Champagne! 
We're not yet there, but that's already a great feeling after the sweat we put in the effort and it potentially opens some great avenues for this year! 
We will have an obligation of a lot of (internal) transparency in this negotiation process: as we know money can corrupt the community process, so let's be careful not to spoil what we have been building over the last year! 

Congrats to all, that was a great collective effort and is a proof that we are able to achieve something together. So let's first celebrate the achievement!

Then let's keep on working to turn this into concrete funding!
On this note, I understand that the Workshop Funding and its hamsters will be in charge of the next steps (in close coordination with the Coordination Team aka the Conference of the Animals).

This is the occasion for me to ask those who haven't yet to put themselves in the workshops where they want to contribute (here is the wiki - scroll down to find the list of Workshops) so that by the end of the month each workshop could schedule a meeting in February so that in February, we can hold a first Conference of the Animals (meeting of the Coordination Team). If someone really cannot manage to log into the wiki, please send me your wishes and I had you.

All the best,
Adrien

Hurrah super! Ein dickes Lob an alle Beteiligten, aber vor allem an die von euch mit der notwendigen ausdauernden Hartnäckigkeit das Baby auch über die Zielgerade gebracht zu haben! Chapeau!
Gebe Silke Recht - habe ja selbst als CHEST Evaluator gearbeitet - der Aufwand ist recht hoch und eine Revision wäre mit viel Aufwand verbunden.
Jetzt muss man v.a. am Ball bleiben und die Form(ulare) erfüllen :).

Go transformap go!

Herzlich

Thomas
