| The SQO-OSS project aims at developing a software quality assessment platform 
| to Free Software developers. SQO-OSS is a project funded through the European 
| Commission's Framework Programme 6 and consists of a number of European 
| organisations with knowledge relevant to build such a platform, among which 
| KDE e.V.. After more than one and a half years of research, design and 
| development the SQO-OSS developer now have made available a first demo 
| showing some capabilities of the Alitheia system. Alitheia stands for the 
| ultimate and business-like truth. Read on for more details.

Why do GNOME people always play the man?

,----[ Quote ]
| The GNOME Foundation gets quite a decent amount of money from Canonical. 
| Several GNOME developers are paid by Canonical; in order to be a member of 
| the Foundation's advisory board, Canonical pays a decent sum ($US10,000) all 
| over again. The good PR people at Canonical in London were silent when I 
| asked them for details.    
| 
| Hence, if one were to detect some pro-KDE statements from Shuttleworth it 
| would be a source or worry for those at GNOME. More so the marketing people. 
| Were some of the money that Canonical ploughs into GNOME to be diverted to 
| KDE, then it may become that much more difficult to balance the books.

| According to Ghosh, the notional value of Europe's investment in
| free/libre or open source software (FLOSS) today is e22bn,
| representing 20.5pc of the region's total software investment.
| Spending on OSS stands at e36bn and accounts for 20pc of software
| expenditure in the US.
