### Funding & Grant

#### OS4LS

#### OTF

Martin will follow up regarding [Funding opportunity: OTF FOSS Sustainability Fund](https://forum.openrefine.org/t/funding-opportunity-otf-foss-sustainability-fund/2793); our application is still under review.

#### POSOSE

Julie and Martin reviewed eligibility for [Pathways to Enable Secure Open-Source Ecosystems (PESOSE) | NSF - U.S. National Science Foundation](https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/pesose-pathways-enable-secure-open-source-ecosystems) due September 1 2026. International collaborators are welcome, but **NSF award funds cannot flow to them** directly or indirectly, making the grant difficult to apply givien the team current structure.

### Social Media

Martin invited Julie as admin to the OpenRefine LinkedIn page.  
Julie will start to be more active on Mastodon to promote the project.
