1. Austria is part of the EU! We joined it (together with Finnland and
Sweden) in 1995 (Jan., 1st).
2. Some time ago, we (AVL List in Graz/Austria) were looking for a TW from
England or the United States to join our engine test bed documentation team
- the guy will start this Friday (March, 1st).
So there is a need for English-speaking TWs in Austria, too - but I'm not
quite sure how much. I'll try to find out that during our next Austrian
tekom chapter meeting on March, 23rd and post it to the list.
Kind regards,
Franz Steiner
