This is fantastic news! HOT OSM is one of the really valuable openly licensed projects out there, and I've been really interested to see how it might fit in with working with Wikipedia.
Do let us know how it goes!

Dear all,
We are happy to inform you that Wikimedia Indonesia and Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT OSM) just received the news that our proposal submitted to "Making All Voices Count" grant program was accepted. We got £ 31,000 worth of grant to work on growing open content in Kalimantan, Indonesia.
The proposal was submitted last year and co-written by Wikimedia (Siska Doviana, Ivonne Kristiani, John Vandenberg) and HOT OSM (Kate Chapman and Yantisa Akhadi). We are so excited because this is our first big collaboration project together and out of 500 proposals worldwide (well, seven countries) only 28 received funding, and we are one of them. We also realized that we just became internationally competitive in grant seeking. Thank you to them, and back to work for us!
