Kevin announcing the news on Twitter.
About one week after CoPress submitted an application for this year’s Knight News Challenge, we found out today that we advanced to the second round.
I did a happy dance in my chair.
Kevin Koehler (@kev097), who toiled into the late hours of the night last Sunday to polish the application, announced the good news via Twitter (see photo).
A little background on the project, quoting our application:
CoPress is a collaborative project to invigorate online student media through community, software, and knowledge. A single organization providing Web support, we will fill a gaping need for college publications, providing the tools they lack to thrive in the digital revolution, and platforms for innovation.
For a more detailed overview, visit the CoPress about page. For all the juicy details, check out our meeting notes.
Also, be sure to check out our application, leave a comment and give us stars if you think we’re cool.
An updated and expanded application is due in a few weeks, so we’ll be adding more details before then.
Special congratulations to Daniel Bachhuber, our fearless leader who started the group and is just plain awesome.
UPDATE, Nov. 12: Check out the CoPress post on the news, We’re in: Knight Challenge round duex.
Ha, thanks for the shout out Greg. If I were competent too, I’d have us millionaires by now too :)
Excellent news!
