[ILUG] European Software

[Kevin Philp]

A couple for you....

gprolog - France
MySQL - Germany
QT - Norway



Does anyone know a good way to try and find out the origins of popular
Linux software.   I am working on an ILUG LiveCD for EXPO and I had the
(possibly crazy) idea of trying to do some sort of round the EU in FOSS,
maybe even just a page which highlights contributions from all the EU
member states (and new members and accession members)?   Of course I'd
really like to have all the software on the cd aswell so it should be
normal and useful ... (I ask a lot)

Here is a list of the countries and some things software which came
straight to mind (not much !!!).   Any ideas on how to find more, or
anything people can think of ...
