I have just been looking at the NATO web site, and they appear to have changed for the better in recent years. Now they make no reference to sensitive areas. Their science and technology programmes are now more generally aimed at promoting world peace! The NATO website can be found here: <http://www.nato.int/science/cst.htm> It looks very promising. I read through a lot of the details and it may be that a conference/workshop on the development of Debian Gnu/Linux and Debian Gnu/Hurd fits into the NATO guidelines. You would need to organise it as an Advanced Research Workshop (ARW). There is scope in the guidelines for projects doing technical development of existing operating systems like Debian. You need to read through all the documentation carefully. One part of the documentation, preparing the actual application for an ARW, may be found in the following PDF file: <http://www.nato.int/science/bestpractice/arw.pdf> > > Such areas include Portugal, Greece, Turkey, etc. Do you have any > > developers in these countries?

What is needed is for someone to compile a list of all Debian Developers and their geographical addresses. This is something you have said yourself before. Volunteers?
