When preparing your paper please note that what we're trying to show is what people are doing with open data. Can you show any examples of people that have used GFOSS to good effect? i.e. for /this/ workshop we take the existence of the data as a given and show the benefits of its availability. Incidentally, I'm involved with an EU effort to identify the best way to describe F/OSS. I'm working on a major change (and simplification) but you can see the current state of play at https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/** asset/adms_foss/home <https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/asset/adms_foss/home> Cheers Phil.
