Hi Holger, At the conference the Pypy project was presented as approved. It was listed within the EU projects the day before. I think you are among the first open source projects approved. So I guess you have a 99% change to get it trough. 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 the same work has to be done with Zope, Plone, ... Who should I contact? Crossing fingers until December 1 and good luck, Xavier > De�: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (holger krekel) > Date�: Fri, 26 Nov 2004 16:09:24 +0100 > ��: Xavier Heymans <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc�: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Objet�: Re: [pypy-dev] Congratulations to the Pypy team > > Hi Xavier, > > [Xavier Heymans Fri, Nov 26, 2004 at 01:59:14PM +0100] >> Last week Paul and I participated to the Calibre conference in Den Haag, >> Netherlands.
