This is definitely a good chance to spread the spirit of Open Source to
the world.
Unfortunately we cannot support you in Brussels since I am on a business
trip to Greece. However, maybe there is something we can offer you.
I used to work for an Austrian research company focusing on the labour
market a few years ago. I can try to get some figures about IT companies
telling us that there are MORE people working in small IT companies than
in huge ones. I will most likely get those figures for Austria - maybe
for Europe.

I you guys think that's useful and if you want to present those figures
please drop me an email and I will contact my friends at Synthesis.

    Regards,

        Hans
