Dear François and other Agnula partners, A big congratulations on getting EC funding directed towards the noble open software cause! At the Centre for Music Technology in Glasgow, we use *only* Debian in teaching audio programming courses at final year level in Electronic Engineering, and have a lab full of Debian GNU/Linux PPC machines devoted to it. We also use GNU/Linux on our research machines (mostly debian, but some other flavours too) and are active in seeking out expert Open Software advocates to fill our research posts, which are advertised on LAD. Indeed, we are lucky enough to have Phil Kerr working with us at the moment, who many list users will know from the DMIDI and MP3 HowTo resources.
We also insist on open solution alternatives when implementing software for our projects, such as the EC-funded Open Drama and Custodiev projects and take a strong position on advocacy, such as espoused in the Circus project (also an EC-funded activity on Technology in the Arts). Obviously we are very interested indeed in your work, and will keep a close eye on your web site and mail lists. I would strongly encourage all list readers to do the same, and expand the funding councils' obviously emerging interest in the open source community. Good luck!
