In 2008, the University of Waikato a received a Grant from the Mellon 
Foundation to promote contributions to the Greenstone Digital Library suite 
which provide significant benefits to higher education, libraries, museums, 
arts, or nature conservation. The University is using the award to support the 
Greenstone community of developers and users, particularly in developing 
countries (see the announcement <http://www.greenstone.org/blog#announcement> 
below).

The first grant of US$ 8,000 has been awarded to Prodigio Consultores 
<http://www.prodigioconsultores.com/>  in Santiago, Chile, to coordinate the 
launching of a sustainable, voluntary, not-for-profit Greenstone support 
network for Latin America. In carrying out this work by end June 2010, Prodigio 
will:

*       identify national coordinators for focal points for promotion of the 
Greenstone Digital Library software in at least 3 Latin American countries; 
*       establish contracts engaging each national coordinator to organise a 
national Greenstone training workshop, provide technical support services for 
one year and to ensure development and public access to at least one new 
Greenstone digital library application; 
*       create a regional coordinating and evaluation committee composed of 
representatives of the national coordinators and other Latin American experts; 
*       establish a collaborative portal to inform and facilitate cooperation 
among Greenstone users in Latin America (including announcement of training 
events, news about and links to Greenstone collections in the region, FAQs, and 
documentation on Greenstone in regional languages); 
*       provide technical assistance to the work of the national coordinators; 
*       coordinate the work of the regional coordinating and evaluation 
committee with a view to formally establishing and consolidating the regional 
support network. 

Additional support has been provided to enable Diego Spano, Director of 
Projects at Prodigio, to undertake a visit to Waikato to familiarise himself 
with the latest Greenstone developments and to discuss the development of the 
Latin American network.

Although Prodigio is a commercial company, it will be undertaking this activity 
on a totally not-for-profit basis. This work will build on the Spanish-language 
Greenstone discussion list <http://www.freelists.org/list/greenstone_es>  which 
has been moderated by Prodigio for the past year. Further information can be 
obtained from Diego Spano <mailto:diegospano@xxxxxxxxx> .

The Latin American network will join the Greenstone support networks in South 
Asia <http://greenstonesupport.iimk.ac.in/>  (operating since 2006) and 
Southern Africa 
<http://www.eifl.net/cps/sections/services/eifl-foss/greenstone>  (operating 
since 2007).

We hope to award the remaining Greenstone-Mellon grants by June 2009 in order 
to meet the deadlines for the use of these funds. Interested parties are 
referred to the grant announcement:
