Our goal would be to find travel grant and support for 30-50 stellar users of CDS/ISIS to participate in the September conference and present their work. We work with a number of foundations in North America who could be interested but are largely ignorant of the rich knowledge in CDS/ISIS databases and expertise of the members of the community. This will have to be on a case-by-case basis. For example foundations interested in women's issues could be persuaded to give a travel grant to selected members of CDS/ISIS communities working on women's issue or could serve as a resource for training for their projects; or foundations supporting effort to create open content or open software for education as in case of Sofia project (see http://sofia.fhda.edu) or the Sakai project (see http://sakaiproject.org/). You may also want to look at the open resources for education community that is growing, mostly in the United States, but has a deep interest in international cooperation. See http://opencontent.org/hewlett/ for some of the presentations from their last meeting. If they learn about good work of the CDS/ISIS community and find it relevant to their efforts, they could be your best champions. For this I need the help and guidance of the worldwide CDS/ISIS community. Our thoughts are: 1. Organize a series of 2 to 3 global dialogs on CDS/ISIS using the videoconference facility of GDLN (Global Development Learning Network) for details of the network see www.gdln.org between March and July. To these CDS/ISIS global dialogs we will bring organizations who would be interested in supporting CDS/ISIS users and would like to learn first hand about their work. To give you an example of similar effort please see our somewhat similar efforts in case of Open Course Conversations (http://opencourse.org/Collaboratories/occonversations) and Open Content Collaboration (http://opencourse.org/Collaboratories/occollab). 2. Further post description of 'exceptional' CDS/ISIS users on our website and actively solicit direct support to them from the community of institutions that we work with who could be interested in supporting the work CDS/ISIS users are doing but are ignorant of both CDS/ISIS and its users worldwide. I strongly believe that the knowledge contained in CDS/ISIS databases is of interest to a large number of funders specially they learn of the grassroot capability of CDS/ISIS users to capture and describe that knowledge in databases which can be exchanged. In both cases, we could agree two or three people from the CDS/ISIS community who could be on the panel of 5 people to select the CDS/ISIS users to present their work. The other two could be eminent librarians and thought leaders here who may not know CDS/ISIS as well. We would like to know what CDS/ISIS community thinks of the idea and would welcome comments/criticism.
