Re: The OWL file

Thank you very much, I fond this that is really specific

https://nlnet.nl/opensocial/

However just 50K euro will be funded, so that just one or two person 
would be involved.

Now I have to understand if, in the case I got this grant, how I should 
interact with the official Activity Pub charter.

However, on monday I'll have a meeting at my university to discuss about 
this grant and other opportunities.
