According to http://www.heise.de/newsticker/Bund-foerdert-Open-Source-Projekte--/meldung/... Germany's going to put 20 million euros into open source. They'll probably throw it all down a rathole, but hey, maybe some small fraction will go to useful projects.
If anyone's at LinuxTag, maybe it would be worth wandering over to Halle 7.2a, Stand 111 and chat the projects up to see if any of them have any interest in Wine...
