There was a zoom call or something, i think in january, i was not part of
and i also never saw a recording of it.
on the 22th january i got a mail from someone who was on that call and who
summarized it for several people who where not on the call, that said that
STF wanted our application by the end of january.

On the 25th January, we where told the meeting was delayed and would
happen on teh 14th february.
And on the 27th january at night (you could call it 28th morning)
i posted about the Souvereign tech fund.

So, iam sorry, but i knew of this deadline exatly 2-3 days longer than the
rest of teh world. Not months. I knew some people where discussing with STF,
yes but if you expect them to have made this public at an early stage, you
need to complain to them. Not me, who also wanted this to be more public earlier.

Thx
