My intention is to write articles during the typotour. About;
- Dutch government implementing in 2005 a digital ID for all citizens. 
The technique is based on open-source (http://www.a-select.org) and the 
official site will be built in TYPO3 (guess by who..)
- Belgium offical website for World Expo Japan 2005 is being built in 
and sponsored by TYPO3 (or Netcreators)
- Dutch school want to get out of Blackboard as an ELO and get into 
open-source. We have them in favour of TYPO3 and they want to help raise 
funding for the creation of an ELO extension or extension suite. Raise 
money themselfes but also ask the government.
- Dutch association SURF who advise universities and other higher 
learning school in ICT did an extensive lab study of TYPO3, MM Base, 
Smartsite and Microsoft CMS.
- Netcreators did present TYPO3 at two trade fairs in Holland in 2004 
and will do about five in 2005. Mainly education, non-profit and gov. 
related. A short report about the results (work for economic department 
and workshops for other gov. department)

About the pieces for target readers I still have to think but it I guess 
it's becoming an combination of the two.
