Hi Matthias,
It would be quite difficult to describe our last 3 years in a couple of lines.
Still I got some links with english content explaining quite well what happened in Hungary:

I'm absolutely open to cooperate in the future. We continue of course to push here, I'll update you as soon as I have any news.
Peter

Hello Peter,
thanks for the update from Hungary.
* Szakál Péter szakal.peter@openskm.com [2011-11-07 12:45:04 +0100]:
- In the past couple of years we (Open SKM - FSF Hungary - ODFA
Hungary) had many (more or less unsuccessful) campaign against MS vendor locks.
Can you describe the different campaigns, and tell us from your experience why some of them failed and other were successful?
This could be a good time to start a European/cross nation campaign for free softwares and open software standards in the public sector (education, administration).
It would be perfect if you push now in Hungary again. We defenetely want to work on other countries, if everything works out in the Netherlands (perhaps even if it does not work out). If we find volunteers in other countries we can start there, too.
Best Regards, Matthias
