From Mandriva Community Wiki
From the project's site: "The QualiPSo consortium has been founded to help industries and governments fuel innovation and competitiveness by providing the way to use trusted low-cost, flexible Free Open Source Software to develop innovative and reliable information systems. To meet this goal, QualiPSo intends to define and implement the technologies, processes and policies to facilitate the development and use of Free Open Source software components, with the same level of trust traditionally offered by proprietary software. This will leverage the Free Open Source Software development current practices to sound, well recognised and established industrial operations. The Qualipso initiative is a unique alliance of European, Brazilian and Chinese ICT industry players, SMEs, governments and academics to help industries and governments fuel innovation and competitiveness with Free Open Source software. QualiPSo is one of the largest Free Open Source initiative funded by the European Commission, and is funded under EU sixth framework program (FP6), as part of the Information Society Technologies (IST) initiative. QualiPSo is launched in synergy with Europe’s technology initiatives such as NESSI and Artemis."
