[Fiware-pcc] Draft Minutes PCC

[BISSON Pascal]

Dear José,

My demand was not to replace in 2) "Cloud" by "Security" but to draw attention of FT-Orange to  the fact that at Security WP we had at a similar concern as the one reported for Cloud Hosting. So I would suggest to report a text like this in the minutes:


2)      An informal note to FT (Brigitte Cardinael) will be sent to indicate the need for a larger representation in meetings and presence in all task assigned to them. In particular, attention to the WP Cloud Hosting and the WP Security is not adequate. FT should decide whether an effective presence in the WP Cloud Hosting is foreseen or it would be better to concentrate efforts. As for Security WP, FT should take necessary steps to be at the expected level of presence and contribution.

Hope I have clarified.

Regards,

Pascal

Dear Pascal dear Nuria, all

Thank you for your comments. I send you the corrected version subject to your approval and further comments

The issue of  FT is point 2) of the minutes. Please tell me if you prefer a different explanation.

Regarding all the other proposed changes, they are accepted (except Torino, I think is Turin in English) :). I have included Nuria suggestion as point 11)

With respect to Nuria complains, we agree we need detailed agendas, this is included as conclusion and AP.

But in this case an agenda was sent. But it is always very difficult to have a perfect schedule and sometimes we need to change things. In this respect, the idea of the general meetings is also to be present, even if you are not participating in each and every session, to know each other and to familiarize with the people in the project. In any case, as you know we agreed to reduce the number of (general) meetings and try to have a focused WP as possible.




BR

Asunto: RE: Draft Minutes PCC

Dear Jose,

As initial and immediate feedback from my side :

Regarding b) - As we discussed at PCC meeting and facing the lack of participation of FT-Orange to meetings (whether physical or virtual) and audio conferences (weekly ones among others) of Security WP Thales is leading (aka WP8) I would ask you to also draw attention of Brigitte to this in order for her to take necessary actions to improve the situations. It seems to me that at PCC meeting we had also agreement on this but couldn't retrieve it in the minutes you just sent us.

As for the rest:

·         Typo: Not Postnam nor even Poznam but Poznan

·         Fi-ware - we should be consistent regarding how we write it (from my side to avoid problems I use capital letters ... so FI-WARE )
Best Regards,

Pascal

PCC meeting minutes
Date: 16 September 2011

Discussion and Action points

1)      It is agreed to send a formal letter to SAP asking for adequate involvement of the company according to the level of commitment in Fi-ware, particularly with respect to the presence to significant meetings

Draft letter:

Dear Sirs

Project Fi-ware is reaching the first months of its activities and important deliverables, regarding architecture and decisions on future activities are now being taken. The implication of SAP on those activities is crucial to the success of the project. SAP, as you know, is one of the key partners in the project and the involvement of your company is considered absolutely essential.

Even if the technical activities of SAP personnel and implication on the technical activities can be considered adequate in the period inter meetings, we regret to observe the lack of presence of technical and managerial representatives at key meetings of the Fiware project. Those absences mean a significant reduction of the usefulness of those meetings and imply a loss of time of other partners coming to the meeting to discuss technical results and actions.

We would certainly appreciate you would take the necessary steps to correct that situation which otherwise may result in a lack of effectiveness of the effort that SAP and all partners of Fi-ware are devoting to the success of our project

Thank you  very much

Fiware PCC



2)      An informal note to FT (Brigitte Cardinael) will be sent to indicate the need for a larger representation in meetings and presence in all task assigned to them. In particular, attention to the WP Cloud is not adequate and FT should decide whether an effective presence in the WP is foreseen or it would be better to concentrate efforts.

3)      It was discussed the informal requirement from Technicolor to shift their activities from Cloud to I2ND. This requirement may signify a reduction on the functionality of the activities performed at the Cloud WP. That reduction is not considered, in principle, as acceptable. The issue will be analyzed in depth by WPL of I2ND to understand all technical implications before an action is decided

4)      It is approved the request from DT to modify the contract (subcontracting some activities to university due to the movement of some key personnel outside the company). This change request is accepted provided it does not modify the effort or the economic contribution of the company and is limited to a maximum of 1-2 persons.

5)      The PCC discusses the potential selection of candidates for the Advisory Committee of the  PPP.  A more detailed explanation of the objectives of that Committee is required and is  suggested  the Steering board leaves a number of vacant positions for possible changes in orientation and objectives.

Also it is requested from PCC companies, names and contact of possible future candidates before the deadline 22 September.

Initially, Telefónica will suggest the name of Arturo Azcorra and Pablo Rodriguez as candidates, but the list can be enlarged with proposals from other companies.

Telefónica will send detailed indications of the characteristics and requirements to Advisory Committee members asap to comply with the previous dates

6)      It is discussed the possibility of calling for the first presential meeting of the Scientific Council at the FIA  meeting in Postnam. After some discussion it is agreed that a presential meeting may be substituted by a request of written collaboration, at least in the initial stages of the project. The presential meeting will be delayed until February 2012. However every effort shall be made to get the contribution of SC members in written form, including the direct collaboration with WPL.
Draft letter

Dear members of the SC

After some deliberation, the PCC of Fi-ware has considered better to delay the first physical meeting with the PCC after you have full time to consider in detail the first deliverable of the Architecture team. For this reason we are not going to have a face to face meeting in Poznam.

As indicated in previous mails, we would really appreciate your consideration of the existing draft version of the deliverable, and the corrected version that will come shortly. The link, as indicated, is ...https://forge.fi-ware.eu/docman/view.php/7/331/FI-WARE+High-Level+Description+v1.1+11-08-31.pdf


You can send your comments to this distribution list and we shall send them copy to the relevant technical people

We feel this way of working can be more effective in the initial stages of the group until all aspects are fully clarified.

Best regards



7)      Fiware shall provide as much information as possible of the characteristics and possible special rules of the Open Calls. This information shall be used at the coming events, particularly in Poznam.  Audioconferences and mail communications shall be used to disseminate that information

8)      Project members are reminded the need to take special note of the conclusions of the GA regarding exploitation and dissemination. The PCC is reminded that Fi-ware objectives will not be achieved if exploitation objectives are not attained. All PCC members agreed to consider the matter to the maximum interest.

9)      It is agreed to resume asap monthly audioconferences of the PCC. An agenda, as detailed as possible, should be sent in advance.

10)   Minutes and action points of the PCC shall be downloaded to the Forge asap for approval and further consideration
The PCC also recognized the effort of Telecom Italy, and the personal involvement of Pierangelo Garino, in the organization of the GA and social event.
