I'm afraid it doesn't look very interesting from a technical pov...

Yes... Quote:

	"the second edition of fOSSa conference presents this phenomenon as
	a new social paradigm."

Sigh... And this is with our money... But as soon as I read: INRIA, I
knew.

There is so much to be done, and so few to do.

Go on strike for Glenda! Demand more carrots!

We should be grateful for INRIA's unmatched gifts to the future of
mankind, see for example:

http://reflex.gforge.inria.fr/

It is certain that future generations will marvel at projects like
this the same way we marvel at the ancient pyramids of Giza.

The EU should setup a CAP program for the software industry that paid
programmers not to program.

Unlike with the CAP, this would provide an unquestionable net-social
benefit to the world.

They do. They pay engineers to write papers, not software.
That's their way to put a limit on the harm done.

Don't be too harsh. I guess he is young and enthousiastic. (If he has
made some work, even of questionnable interest, he must be young...)

And misguided or not guided at all. But in a structure whose dedication
is "artificial intelligence" with arithmetic means (computers) but
without demonstrating first what is wrong or limited in Gödel and 
Turing results... At least they can claim "searching" and justify not
finding...

while i have no problem with mocking bad ideas, this is
starting to sound a bit personal to me and i don't see any
interesting points being made.

Don't worry; that's just a natural RefleX.
