The meeting was held by EC DG Information Society on 18 May 2001 in Brussels. I was invited there as a representative of Intevation.
The invitation said Representatives of players active in open source software will be present in Brussels on Friday 18 May 2001 at the occasion of the information event organised in relation with the 2001 action line "Free software development: towards critical mass". We would like to use this opportunity to discuss the main challenges ahead and possible future orientations for the European research programmes in this field. This input will be used by the Commission services to propose orientations for the 6th Framework Programme of European Research and development (2002-2006) in this domain, and more generally in our efforts to ensure that the instruments, contractual rules and general environments meet the requirements for co-operative efforts using open source software schemes.
