Udalerria web plataforma - Basque Country, Spain (Lur IBARGUTXI)
CodeSyntax is a basque company working with python, Zope and Free Software since it was created in 2000. CMSs are very important in local administration, and therefore Zope and Plone give us very powerful tools to build great applications. One of our projects inside our project called UdalPlone is about digital signature and electronic identification between people and administration, and we can see that there's a similar project in Belgium. That's gives us the way to work together. We must work together.
