Hey Ben,
Thanks for linking to the March event. It seems there is *a lot* of leads to follow up on there, which is great. More detective work to be done ;) At least it is interesting!
I wonder whether there are up-to-date reports
I'm trying to wrangle someone into meeting me from the OSPC. Will update if it works out and hopefully someone can join me!

Hi Luke,
Thanks for pulling all this information together.
3) The LGMA OPSC seems to be on the right track: http://www.lgma.ie/en/OSPC
This is encouraging; I wonder whether there are up-to-date reports on how those projects are going.
Also encouraging was an event from March 2016, which I passed on to the FSFE list at the time:
