The Open Software Foundation has officially moved into its new offices in Brussels, after spending some nine months camped out in Digital Equipment Corp’s nearby Zaventem premises: the Software Foundation’s European operation – which includes a regional office in Munich and the research institute in Grenoble, France – is headed by Alain Fastre. The Foundation denies rumours that it is shedding any of its staff – it says it is hiring two new section managers for Europe, plus engineers for the Grenoble and US-based development teams. It says that the various Distributed Management System technology suppliers have each done some pre-integration work on their respective components, but that it will piece the jigsaw together itself.
