This would mean being brain drained to the EU, but hey, Europe is a nice place for the most part.... I have been reading through their funding literature, and they want to fund consortiums of entities from 3 different member states. I would like to find appropriate partners for namesys.uk, and create a consortium. Linus, I imagine this won't interest you, but please issue such instructions on the matter as you choose if you have any time and interest for this. If you'd like to be brain-drained to the EU let me know....;-) The premise would be that we are developing the linux kernel in a free software collaborative effort that is open to all Europeans to participate in and that furthers the European national interest. A better linux kernel will substantially reduce the cost of EU e-government while providing its citizens with an open infrastructure. Unless they are crazy, if we form a substantive consortium with serious proposals, they will give us large amounts of money.;-) Readers are warned, it takes more than one ream of paper to learn how to apply, so the process is not for the casual. http://europa.eu.int/comm/research/fp6/index_en.html has the reams of paper you'll need to read if this interests you. -- Hans
