As someone just pointed out to me, I should add this further clarification:

	All team members must be U.S. citizens and at least 18 years of age.

(If there was an "osgeo-discuss-usa" list, I'd have used that instead. Apologies.)

On a happier note, though, also observe that:

	There are no specific academic,	professional or experience-related requirements. If \
it is not   obvious from a team's resumes, the team should make a credible case that \
it has the skills   necessary to accomplish what it proposes.

Sorry, I left out the most important bit:

	DARPA is very supportive of open source -- as a means of doing things cheaper, \
bootstrapping faster,  fostering collaboration, and promoting extensibility.

Subject: DARPA-funded short-term incubator for geospatial data analysis

DARPA and George Mason University are running a very novel, incubator-like \
opportunity for small teams of people interested in a chance to pursue radical new \
ideas in the areas of geospatial and visual data analysis.

If you've got an idea for something truly different in the geo data world, and would \
like to spend 8 weeks exploring the idea with a $50K budget, you can find more \
details and background here:

zers-for-eight-week-innovation-house-study-program/2012/07/10/gJQAv06naW_blog.html

Deadline is July 31st, so act fast! 

[disclaimers: it is being run by my former boss at DARPA and I'm a member of the \
review committee]
