Some members of PeARS team (Nandaja, Hrishi, Behrang and Aurelie) met in Cambridge (7-11 Nov. 2016) for a week of coding, workshop-ing, eating and getting rained on. Malayalam semantic space created. Lots of hairdryer hacking. Lots of chai pe charcha.

PeARS team is very excited to have been chosen as one of eight recipients of a MOSS "mission partners" award. We congratulate the other grantees who all have exciting projects, from anonymity preservation to game engines and screen readers for the visually impaired!
