 **The Program**
 
 - The FPA seeks to provide financial assistance to FreeCAD community members traveling to FOSDEM.
-
 - The FPA will issue grants up to a maximum of USD 500 per person and will spend a maximum of USD 5000 in total.
-
 - The grant amount is USD 500 or the price of your travel, whichever is lower.
 
 **Who is Eligible**
 
 - Any person listed under "The team" on the FreeCAD forum is eligible automatically.
-
 - Any person with an approved FreeCAD-related talk at FOSDEM is eligible automatically.
-
 - Any other FreeCAD community member not fitting in the above categories may apply for a grant, but only candidates with significant contributions to FreeCAD will be considered by the FPA. FPA members will decide upon each case individually based on criteria including volume of code contributions as well as duration and extent of community participation.
-
 - Grants will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis.
-
 - Any person interested must request a grant: no grant will be awarded automatically. All requests will be considered and must be approved by the FPA.
-
 - Requests must be submitted by sending an email to the FPA at [fpa@freecad.org](mailto:fpa@freecad.org) no later than December 31st, 2022.
 
 **How can the money be used?**
 
 - The grant must be solely used for travel to and from Brussels for FOSDEM.
-
 - Candidates must submit proof of travel expenses to the FPA (e.g. a train or plane ticket) in order to obtain a grant.
-
 - If travel by train is available,, train should be used preferably instead of plane. The FPA will deliberate over cases that don't follow this guideline.
 
 **When do I get the money?**

 This past week we launched a [revamped version of our website](https://fpa.freecad.org) that includes the organization's charter, budget, and [our new Handbook](https://fpa.freecad.org/handbook/). The Handbook is based on the ideas from [GitLab's "Handbook First" scheme](https://about.gitlab.com/company/culture/all-remote/handbook-first-documentation/), in which anytime someone has a question about the organization it should be answerable by a reference to a specific part of the handbook. When we encounter questions that aren't answered by the handbook, a new entry is added to it with the answer, so it always provides the most authoritative, up-to-date information about our activities.

 What does this represent? `string` is the priority order of the axes.
 
 - Z is first: the Z-axis is rotated into the direction vecz: `V(1,0,1)`.  (Two degrees of freedom used.)
-
 - X is second: the rotated X-axis is placed in the plane defined by the `vecx` and `vecz` arguments, orthogonal to `vecz`. That is, the **component** of `vecx` orthogonal to `vecz` defines the rotated X direction.  (Uses one more degree of freedom.)
-
 - Y is third: the `vecy` argument is completely ignored. The new Y-axis is created forming an orthogonal triad with the new Z and X axes, constructed from the above by the right hand rule (in the direction Z x X, for those familiar with the vector cross-product).
 
 Our example generates the same rotation illustrated in Figs. (1) and (2) above. Note how the (blue) z-axis and (red) x-axis in Fig. (1) change. The mapping from (xvec, yvec, zvec) to normalized direction vectors, in the second listed step above, is illustrated in Fig (3), the movie below.

 There are three important things to note:
 
 - Both placements/rotations reference the `same` coordinate system.
-
 - Unlike when multiplying numbers, the order matters! If you rotate an object around two different axes, you'll generally get a different result if you reverse the order of operations.
-
 - The rotation `rot2*rot1` means first rot1, then rot2. Think of them as function applications to understand the order.
 
 To illustrate the second point, let us consider two easily visualized rotations R and S and apply them in opposite orders.
