Nope, sorry. I do hope we can get something going around PythonUK/ACCU, as I'm most likely going to be in the UK for that and likely so is Anna, but early Feb's no good for me:-(.
Ah, and btw, our EU project coordinator, Alastair Burt, just sent notice that our EU proposal got 26.5 out of 30 points which sounds promising but of course we don't know if they employ some logarithmic scale or so :-)
No, I studied the PDF doc and it's really very simple: a sum of scores on scales of 0 to 5 in 6 categories, with a per-category threshold that would presumably rule out a project that's otherwise generally good but hopeless in one category. Out of a maximum of 30, we "lost" a total of 3.5 points: 0.5 on potential impact, 1 on not being totally state of the art, and 2 more on "mobilization of resources" which seems to be euro-speak for "are the estimated costs sensible" (we scraped by, barely meeting the threshold in that category, but the 2+ millions EUR we asked for , if I read the comments correctly, seemed somewhat-inflated costs to whoever judged those things, with specific mention of excessive costs for several identified sub-projects -- that was the only category where the short comment sounded negative to me, while all other comments sounded very positive, including those on the two categories where we lost the other 1.5 points).
