+<h1>2020-09: GNU Taler operational at Bern University of Applied Sciences</h1>
+<p>
+  The GNU Taler payment system was launched at the
+  <a href="https://bfh.ch/">BFH</a> in the presence of a representative
+  of the <a href="https://snb.ch/">Swiss National Bank</a>. Students, staff, faculty and visitors
+  can visit the cafeteria at Höheweg 80 to withdraw the electronic equivalent of Swiss Franks (CHF)
+  onto <a href="https://wallet.taler.net/">Taler Wallet App</a>
+  running on their mobile phones and pay at a Taler-enabled
+  snack machine. The system is expected to expand to allow payments
+  at other places in the future.  Various faculty members and
+  students are involved various aspects of the project. Students
+  interested in working on projects or theses related to the subject
+  should contact Prof. Grothoff.
