Funny stuff: big government discovers Qt

Governmental institutes have provided readers of the Tamoggemon Content Network quite a few laughs over the years. The latest one is funny as long as you don’t pay taxes in the EU.

Mobile Business Briefing reports the following:

A new European research project aimed at developing technology that will allow applications to be ported across multiple platforms has received EUR10 million in EU funding…

The initiative, known as Webinos, is led by the Fraunhofer Institute for Open Communication Systems (Fokus) in Germany … as are device vendors Samsung and Sony Ericsson.

Webinos is researching a framework for apps … across a wide range of connected environments

…

Looks like the EU hasn’t quite discovered Qt yet – or is there someone making a nice bit of cash essentially duplicating what TrollTech has already done?
