Open Source
Awards June 2008
It is intended that MU-Jingle improves over three existing solutions: In general, by adding support for multi-user audio/video to XMPP, users do not have to give up the benefits of XMPP in order to make a multi-user call. Such a solution may contain a browser plug-in that integrates the software developed in JMRTD with an open source identity selector (perhaps compatible with InfoCard). A question that will need to be answered is to what degree end-users and service providers need to trust the identity provider (in case of end-users: trust with respect to dealing with privacy sensitive data). As more and more governments are adopting ODF, some of them even as the unique document format, it is not coherent that there is no freely available, open source viewer for Symbian OS or other mobile systems available. For the first time ever, it will be possible to read your OpenDocument files from OpenOffice.org, KOffice, AbiWord and Lotus Symphony on your Symbian Smartphone using Open Source software. Additionally NLnet decided to sponsor the following events and activities: NLnet congratulates the projects that were awarded and encourages others to apply for financial and other support by NLnet for their projects in their next call with deadline October 1st 2008.
