EuroQuis / E*OS³ - custodiet custodes

I have been conducting research on a Quality of Services standard for Open Source-based IT projects. My part of the research being done involved the technical side of the quality metrics and the acceptance by Open Source communities. EuroQuis aims to improve the acceptance of Open Source software solutions for the small- and medium-sized enterprises. EuroQuis is financed by the Euregio, and Dutch and German local authorities.

SQO-OSS

Another part of my research work involved taking part in the Software Quality Observatory for Open Source Software (SQO-OSS, a.k.a. 'squash') project on behalf of KDE. SQO-OSS was a European Reseach project that aimed at measuring and improving the quality of Open Source software by developing new tools and techniques to measure it.
Other project partners include Athens University of Economics and Busines, Sirius and KDAB.

CodeYard - scholier en Open Source.

In CodeYard, students become Open Source developers and learn the modern collaboration techniques from the Open Source world. My part of the work for CodeYard is public relations, quality control and application development. I was also responsible for coffee and bread supplies.
