This one we definitely do *not* want to support. 

It is connected _very_ closely to GMD (who are essentially only doing
proprietary things) and Fraunhofer (who should be known to everyone
because of their pushing for patents).

Also the people responsible are very "Open Sourcy" and have not
understood the movement from what I could tell after talking to them. 

They are one of the bigger reasons why we should offer a real
alternative, I think.
