[FreeNX-kNX] Sponsoring FreeNX/QtNX?

[Samuli Seppänen]

Hi,

This is really interesting stuff... The Python server/client seems 
interesting, as we have Python coder(s) ourselves and could help the 
project by fixing bugs and such. I'll have a look at it and get back to you.

Best regards,

Samuli
