Waiting for it to process and pay to the carpentries
Initial plan: complete the paperwork in spring and submit it by the beginning of summer to have it started in Fall. We wanted it to be an academic year as opposed to calendar year.
Can ask the carpentries to consider 2024 Fall to Summer 2025, given the workshop one week ago was under the carpentries banner.
Perhaps a person or two can take responsibiity strating in spring on reaching out to sponsors for upcoming renewal?
