Where to start :-) This is the general EU web site for various grant applications. http://eacea.ec.europa.eu/index_en.php This is the UK site for the two projects we have running http://www.leonardo.org.uk/ There should be similar at the Italian National Agency but I couldn't find it with obvious searches :-( The OpenOffice project application was submitted through OpenSaar in Germany. I wrote it but we thought it better to go through a different partner. I can send you a copy to show you the sort of thing involved. We could simply modify that application and submit it to the Italian NA with some different partners or indeed submit variations to several NAs. Its about 300,000 Euros for each one that is successful to share between the partners. Transfer of Innovation is probably the easiest to get through. About a third of applications are successful. Need 4 or 5 different national partners for each application and one to act as project promoter and coordinator. There are other grants for mobilities and networking but they generally just pay travel expenses. If someone has a few schools in an area using FOSS they could arrange a study visit so other FOSS people get expenses paid for a weeks conference. I couldn't get anywhere with Sun on any of this in the old OOo days so I just went off and did it myself. -- > Italo Vignoli > italo.vign...@gmail.com > mobile +39.348.5653829 > VoIP +39.02.320621813 > skype italovignoli > > -- > Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to > discuss+help@**documentfoundation.org<discuss%2bh...@documentfoundation.org> > Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.**documentfoundation.org/** > Netiquette <http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette> > List archive: > http://listarchives.**documentfoundation.org/www/**discuss/<http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/> > All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be > deleted > > -- Ian Ofqual Accredited IT Qualifications (The Schools ITQ) www.theINGOTs.org +44 (0)1827 305940 The Learning Machine Limited, Reg Office, 36 Ashby Road, Tamworth, Staffordshire, B79 8AQ.
