what we did was basically to take the input from the GHM
discussion, ask around the Free Software community a bit more, and
then translate the whole thing into something that EU people could
understand and work with -- for example, by referencing our
proposals to fundamental EU documents and programs. 

The European Commission published its proposal for the Horizon
2020 program on November 30. We're currently analysing it to see
whether it's necessary to push for modifications when this is
discussed in the European Parliament.


Best regards,
Karsten
