AS you probably know, the Framework Programme is the EU’s main RTD funding programme.

Recently I have been involved in a initiative which tries to spread the open source applications among the Andalusian tourism SMEs (I´ll write a post about this project soon), so it has been a good surprise to me when I found two european research projects under the 6th Framework Programme: FLOSSMETRICS and OPENTTT . In their web sites you´ll find all the information related with the projects: objective, scope, workpackages, deliverables, partners, etc. Among all this interesting information you can find two guides : Guide for SMEs ( set guidelines and suggestions for the adoption of open source software within SMEs) and Floss catalog ( a catalog of 165 applications chosed in order to fulfill all the SMEs requirements).

Of course I know there are a lot of other initiatives with the same purpose, but these two are financed by the EC and I think this is very important to boost the use of open source apps by SMEs.

As the title states “Welcome to everybody”. This is my small web space where I´m going to post some interesting (at least I hope so) things. My posts are related with those issues I am interesting in : business trends, innovation policies, market trends. I am always looking for news and stories that show and teach the best practices in this areas. However I am not just to paste links, rather I want to give my point of view about these facts. Of course I would like that you express also your opinions so that we can learn from our experiences and expertises. You can visit my personal web site www.danieliglesias.es (in spanish).
