3rd week

Most of this week was spent getting a funding proposal together so that Shirley could get some articles published. The deadline was Fri 20, so no pressure.

After many drafts we ended up with a reasonable proposal. The problem was that in effect it was 3 proposals in one. After much deliberation we decided not to submit the proposal.

We will be separating the 3 proposals and submitting each one to the appropriate funding bodies. Hopefully that will make each project more focused and ‘sellable’ to the funders.

Other than that, Nimbus Services was born. This should help protecting our Intellectual Property and separating the concerns, Nimbus Services as the software developers, and Just Blue as the software vendors. The universities are very greedy and want to get their hands onto any IP they can at very low cost. This will help to isolate our IP, in that we provide software systems that have licensed technology and IP from a 3rd party (Nimbus Services) to the universities.
