Now it's time to write and send an application because the period for applications is closing in end of March, 2002. I think it's possible to get support for Open Source eLearning projects. In Council of the European Union Resolution, 2001/C 204/02, chapter 10) part VIII, Invites the commission: "To support the development of European multilingual educational resources, platforms and services, taking into account, when necessary, education and training-related aspects of intellectual property rights and the use of new distribution methods, and the development and promotion of internationally aspected standards and open source software" ( http://europa.eu.int/comm/education/elearning/reso_en.pdf ) Some other links: http://europa.eu.int/comm/education/elearning/index.html http://europa.eu.int/information_society/eeurope/index_en.htm Regards, Teemu Arina MimerDesk.org
