EU certainly like to have their logo on projects and it is good for the
projects too. I can say truthfully that we are backed by the EU Lifelong
Learning programme for Transfer of innovation and that gives customers
confidence too. With EU grant applications its competitive and it all
depends on the quality of the proposal and how well it fits the stated
objectives of the EU LLLP. That's where I can help because I know what they
are :-)

But we do need several countries with people committed to deliver - that is
a big advantage of FOSS volunteers who do a lot for the love of it. Getting
some payment is just natural justice at least for a few volunteers.
