Hi Holger,

At the conference the Pypy project was presented as approved. It was list ed within the EU projects the day before. I think you are among the first op en source projects approved. So I guess you have a 99% change to get it trou gh. The Eu commissioner explained that it had been difficult to support it because most people do not understand how open source is organized.

I would be interested to receive information about your project because t he same work has to be done with Zope, Plone, ... Who should I contact?

Crossing fingers until December 1 and good luck,

Xavier

At some point, I think it would be good to write a document for the EU - 'Making it easier to fund open source projects' -- why the rules that you use makes things harder for us. From what you say, it looks as if there are some EU Commissioners who would welcome reading such a thing. Laura
