    Congratulations! This is hugely exciting.

    I’ll be very interested in whether you get any grant applications for developing routing or geocoding functionality with the OpenStreetMap data, or for enhancing the data to boost support for that functionality.

    I may also try to point some students in your direction either for grant applications or for the Summer of Code, via a lecturer friend.

    Congratulations again.
