I spend the first two years of my PhD in an European project: eConstruct . I just re-read the first real PR document we drafted. It's still a pretty good read on the goal we had. In the end it was a very succesful project and I'm happy to have participated, it really helps me with my PhD work.
My name is Reinout van Rees and I program in Python, I live in the Netherlands, I cycle recumbent bikes and I have a model railway.
