As for where goes my preference I can clearly say that I'm in favor to have physical PCC meeting at our GAs as it was the case so far. For the same reasons already expressed by other PCC members who wanted to have it that way. Of course I'd like to have these physical PCC meeting be complemented by (regular or whenever) PCC audio conf. But for the topical issues to address I do think we need a physical meeting and also count on the commitment of every representative to be there. That's also why PCC physical meetings have to be planned at GAs. This doesn't mean they have to be planned the last day GA (which might be the source of the problem ...) Regards, Pascal De : fiware-pcc-bounces at lists.fi-ware.eu [mailto:fiware-pcc-bounces at lists.fi-ware.eu] De la part de JOSE JIMENEZ DELGADO Envoy? : mercredi 18 janvier 2012 11:57 ? : 'fiware-pcc at lists.fi-ware.eu' Objet : [Fiware-pcc] Next PCC meeting Dear all As you know, we should be continuing the meetings of the PCC. We have quite a lot of issues to discuss, some of them need quite a lot of extra preparation, that is the reason why we have not been able to continue the discussions we had just before Christmas Next week (23-29) we're having a number of interworkpackage meeting. It would be an ideal time to have our PCC but unfortunately it is impossible due to logistic reasons. Also, most of you would also like to be in the WP meetings. The only alternative would be Friday and we think it would not be suitable to have it that day, everybody in a hurry and our Israeli friends having to work on a free day So I would propose to have an Audio conference the following week. I would set aside at least 3 hours for the audio to have enough time for the quite important issues we need to discuss. I have settled this Doodle to decide the best time. Please vote. I am proposing the following agenda. Please tell me if you would include something else: PROPOSED AGENDA 1) General project coordination Feedback on the WP meeting of the previous week. Possible effort movements and adjustment Possible revision on project review report (if required) Exploitation Strategy. Initial considerations. 2) Fiware Architecture Board representative. (We are having some discussions to solve the issue. In any case, we plan to send a detailed profile of the required person asap). Even if the profile will be sent, we still ask you to consider the issue internally and, eventually propose solutions - I presume you already know what is required to be a AB member) 3) Feeback on PPP Steering Board activities. PPP Scheduling problems and possible actions 5) Scientific Committee. Possible actions and role of the group. Financial constraints. 6) Open call approval and related actions 7) AOB BR ---- Jose Jimenez Telefonica I+D jimenez at tid.es tf +34 91 4832660 ________________________________ Este mensaje se dirige exclusivamente a su destinatario.

I guess that it is better sending this later than never :-) There are two roles for which a replacement of Thomas is requested. Despite these two roles were covered by Thomas, I rather believe they don't need to be covered by the same person, so I will elaborate on the job description separately: * Role supporting coordination of execution and planning of Project Technical Management activities This role has to do with supporting me in my role as technical manager of the project regarding overall coordination and planning of technical activities of the project. Regarding requirements for this position, obviously skills related to management/coordination of large projects are a must and I guess I don't need to elaborate too much here. However, I would like to enumerate some of the concrete activities that would need to be carried out: * Assisting in follow-up meetings with WPLs (both bilateral and joint ones). This includes helping in preparing the agenda for these meetings, assisting in elaboration of minutes, follow-up the Action Points (APs) on WPLs that may be derived in order to ensure meeting of the milestones, implementing some of the APs identified in order to achieve a better coordination or solving any barrier that WPLs have identified, etc. * Assisting in overall preparation of General Assembly meetings (agendas, organization of meetings, etc) and meetings with the EC, including review meetings * Coordination of Open Calls, assisting in the different phases of the process * Colaboration on development of templates, guidelines, etc to be followed in developement of activities, typically to be documented through the Project Handbook * Assisting in overall assessment of the quality of deliverables, contents on the wiki and website, etc I would assume that these activities would mean a dedication of about 50%-70% of the time of one person. * Role as deputy Chief Architect (second seat representing FI-WARE in FI-PPP Architecture Board) This role has to do with supporting me in my role as Chief Architect. Regarding requirements for this position, I would mention a number of aspects to be taken into account when nominating a candidate: * Playing the role of deputy of the Chief Architect and second representative of FI-WARE requires a relatively good knowledge about state of the art and relevant standards as well as expertise in technologies relevant to several chapters in FI-WARE, not just one. At least a rather good knowledge/expertise in three of the chapters and relatively acceptable level of knowledge in another two is required. It would be nice, despite not a must, that the role is covered by someone who can complement the areas where I lack of a deep knowledge/expertise, particularly Network and Security. * Becoming second representative of FI-WARE in the FI-PPP Architecture Board and playing the role of deputy of the FI-WARE Chief Architect will require 20-30% of the time. * As a second representative of FI-WARE in the FI-PPP Architecture Board, the deputy Chief Architect would need to travel aproximately once every two months for a meeting of two days and then also be attending relevant technical workshops, events as representative of FI-WARE on behalf of the Chief Architect. * Regarding definition of the FI-WARE Testbed and the FI-WARE Open innovation Lab, the role of the deputy of the Chief Architect would require interacting with some FIRE projects and representatives of experimental facilities across Europe, working in the design of a technical solution that will ease integration between the FI-WARE Testbed and those facilities. Knowledge about FIRE-related projects (or other experimental facilities) as well as some degree of networking with people/organizations responsible of these facilities would be rather relevant. * Personal contacts and networking with EC officers may be nice although not strictly required. I would say that this position requires 20%-40% of the time of one person Hope it helps, -- Juanjo ------------- Product Development and Innovation (PDI) - Telefonica Digital website: www.tid.es email: jhierro at tid.es twitter: twitter.com/JuanjoHierro FI-WARE (European Future Internet Core Platform) Chief Architect You can follow FI-WARE at: website: http://www.fi-ware.eu facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/FI-WARE/251366491587242 twitter: http://twitter.com/FIware linkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/groups/FIWARE-4239932 On 03/01/12 11:36, Alex Glikson wrote: Dear Jose, Process-wise, haven't we agreed that you and/or Juanjo will first send an official 'call' for candidates, specifying the job description, and only then companies will come back with candidates?

This mail is to update you on our developments regarding the definition of the physical infrastructure that will be linked to both the FI-WARE Testbed and the FI-WARE Open Lab (which is essentially an enlargement of the FI-WARE Testbed in terms of resources, plus the fact that usage will not be limited to UC projects). The plan below has been agreed with Engineering as leader of WP10 (Testbed). We have been able to negotiate with Red.es, a public entity linked to the Spanish Ministry of Industry, the plan for acquiring, deploying and operating a rather ambitious physical infrastructure to support the FI-WARE Testbed and the FI-WARE Open Lab. I hope that you will share our excitement about what we have managed to agree with them since it will allow us to setup a rather ambitious FI-WARE Testbed/OpenLab. The budget devoted to acquisition of the equipments (computing, storage and communication) for such physical infrastructure would be of about 950 KEUR and would be put by Red.es, with support of Regional funds. You have read it well: acquired equipments, for almost as much as 1MEUR of budget, will be made available to FI-WARE *WITHOUT ANY COST TO THE PROJECT*. Acquired equipments will be owned by Red.es, but they will be for our exclusive usage. Red.es will also manage deployment of those equipments in a dedicated space within a DataCenter they own and operate. To take advantage of the Regional funds, this datacenter should be placed in Sevilla (a city in Andalucia, who is one of the developing regions that may take advantage of these regional funds). On the other hand, Red.es will also warrant connectivity to Internet through the RedIris network they operate. RedIris is the Spanish National Research and Education Network connected to the GEANT Pan-European Research Network and the Internet. It will responsability of FI-WARE to deploy FI-WARE GEs on top of this physical setup, and operate the deployed FI-WARE Instance (this, of course, will mean that Red.es will have to provide admin access privileges to people working in FI-WARE) However, in order to put in place this ambitious plan, we need to allocate some resources that we could execute to subcontract some of the services/activities that we would need Red.es to assume, namely: * Support in the design of the physical infrastructure of the FI-WARE Testbed/OpenLab (number and characteristics of equipments to be placed, as well as how they will be setup) * Coordination of activities linked to the process of public adquisition of the equipments linked to the physical infrastructure of the FI-WARE Testbed/OpenLab * Housing of the physical infrastructure linked to the FI-WARE Testbed/OpenLab (basic services to be provided linked to the DataCenter where the physical infrastructure will be deployed) * Provision and operation of connectivity for the DataCenter where the physical infrastructure will be deployed to Internet * Basic DataCenter operation support (i.e., hardware/housing operation) * Logistic support to dissemination events physically located in the place where the FI-WARE Testbed and OpenLab would be physically located (i.e., Sevilla): inaguration of the testbed, etc. All these activities may cost a lot, but we have negotiated with Red.es, after long negotiations, that the overall budget for subcontracting these activities may be just 190 KEUR for the whole duration of the FI-WARE project. Our idea would be to execute the plan in two phases: * In the first phase (setting up of the FI-WARE Testbed physical infrastructure on top of which the first release of the FI-WARE Testbed to be used by UC project will be deployed): * 195 KEUR will be spent by Red.es to acquisition of equipments and (therefore, not paid by FI-WARE) * 40-50 KEUR will be spent by FI-WARE to subcontract activities to Red.es (described in our initial mail, still in negotiation) * In the second phase (enlargement of the FI-WARE Testbed physical infrastructure on top of which the second release of the FI-WARE Testbed to become part of the FI-WARE Open Innovation Lab): * 750 KEUR will be spent by Red.es to acquisition of equipments (therefore, not paid by FI-WARE) * 140-150 KEUR (190 KEUR minus what we had spent in the first phase) will be spent by FI-WARE to subcontract activities to Red.es (same ones described in our initial mail) The deal is feasible because we are just talking about a win-win situation: * Red.es will run a project that will be partially funded by European Regional Development funds (FEDER funds) and they have the mission of managing that sort of projects for ICT in Spain. They find that running a project that will allow that the main dedicated FI-WARE DataCenter part of the FI-WARE Testbed be located in a developing region in Spain, as Andalucia, fits very well their goals. Second, Red.es also operates the RedIris network as explained above and they believe that placing the core FI-WARE DataCenter as a node connected to this network is a plus. It may foster development of research projects based on FI-WARE technologies, for example. Third, their mission is also to stimulate creation of innovative ICT infrastructures that easy modernization of SME businesses and the creation of IT SME start-ups in Spain. They believe FI-WARE may also help there. Last but not least, setting up a core node of the FI-WARE testbed in Spain has a "political" value on its own and this is also something that they have bought (which I believe means rather good news). There may be other benefits for Red.es you can easily infer if you think about the visibility of the FI-PPP program but I guess these are the main ones. * The deal is, of course, quite good for FI-WARE since, as you see, we put 190 KEUR and we get, in return, 1MEUR in equipments plus services that cost much more than 190 KEUR in my honest opinion (for me, all the things they will be able to do in return of the 190 KEUR we subcontract would cost us much more). Thinking "big", we may think that this plan may stimulate that others propose donating another datacenters for free so that the physical infrastructure of the FI-WARE Testbed is enlarged a we end up building a large pan-european infrastructure. Now, the point is that we have to manage how we can obtain this 190 KEUR from the existing budget and hire the services from Red.es described above. After some careful analysis, we have found that this budget for subcontracting could be obtained by performing the following rearrangements in the existing budget: * We would propose to reduce the budget currently booked for funding allowances and trips for meetings of the Scientific Council (SC) and Market Advisory Councils (MAC) so that it becomes 41 KEUR. This action would free 100 KEUR. We believe that it can be implemented by just reducing the number of members in both councils (from 18 to 8 regarding the SC and from 10 to 5 regarding the MAC), reducing the number of meetings of the SC (up to 2) and the duration of meetings (just one day). Funding per person and trip would be limited to 1.150 EUR. * Devoting 20 KEUR of the 79 KEUR budgeted for coordination of events, to events to be located in Sevilla (place where DataCenter linked to the FI-WARE Testbed/OpenLab would be located) * Transferring funding of some of the PMs linked to UPM in WP6 (Data/Context Management) into budget for subcontracting of activities to be carried out by Red.es (this has been agreed with UPM). This should free aprox the other 70 KEUR that are needed. This rearrangements would mean that no budget/funding of existing partners (apart from UPM :-) would be really affected. If we were not able to implement a rearrangement like this we are afraid we would have to go for other schemes (like deducting a % of the funding of each partners) which is always hard to implement and lead to never-ending discussions. And we lack of time for it. I would rather like to implement these changes in the current amendment of the FI-WARE DoW we are negotiating right now because of the Open Calls and other stuff. That would allow us to implement the plan ASAP (and you know that either we launch acquisition of the physical infrastructure soon or we are going to experience big problems). This would be needed in order to make sure that we are able to setup the physical infrastructure on time. We would work so that the physical infrastructure would be operative beginning of May to start integration of FI-WARE components on top. Official inauguration of the FI-WARE Testbed/OpenLab could take place on June 6th, matching the World IPv6 Launch day (http://www.worldipv6launch.org/) in order to achieve the greatest visibility. There, we would publicly announce the official date for availability of the FI-WARE Testbed and we would disseminate our plans. We look forward your positive response. Design of the requirements for the physical infrastructure to be acquired will be worked out with responsible of WP10 and we need to move fast on that space.

From my side the only thing I can say is that I agree with the current approach you have described and that it is a huge step towards the sustainability of the project. I am not sure if we could also envisage part of the money reserved for the Open Calls for works related to this (at least for the next phases of the project). It could basically be another action line for the description of either the second or the third Open Call of the project, where third party engagement will become more important. From my side the only thing I can add is that: ? I will think about possible ways to adapt some dissemination activities towards this new direction (Seville is a place where Atos operates extensively) ? I already discuss with the Chamber of Commerce the possibility to organize an event where we can engage more companies (when and if this is needed; besides doing so in Madrid it could be extended through their resources in Seville) ? The use of the network of the Spanish platform of Future internet (ES.INTERNET) can be maximized now that plans get more concrete Finally, as I informed some time ago, I attended the workshop organized by the EC on Regional Funds, where I represented FI-WARE (Stefano was also present). I attach the minutes circulated by the INFINITY project. Not much was said in this first step but I will keep you updated if I see opportunities for FI-WARE to get more visibility or use funds that could strengthen the Open Innovation Lab and Tesbed in this location or that could be used for the purpose of extending the testbed to other locations. This may be combined with other regional strategies. Here I see Trento as an opportunity (Stefano knows more about that).

All Best -Yaron From: Juanjo Hierro To: "fiware-pcc at lists.fi-ware.eu" Date: 15/02/2012 07:49 PM Subject: [Fiware-pcc] RATHER IMPORTANT: Physical infrastructure for the FI-WARE Testbed and OpenLab Sent by: fiware-pcc-bounces at lists.fi-ware.eu Hi all, Sorry for the long email, but it is difficult to keep it shorter and we definitively need that the FI-WARE PCC takes a look at it and take a decision ASAP, preferably before end of this week. This mail is to update you on our developments regarding the definition of the physical infrastructure that will be linked to both the FI-WARE Testbed and the FI-WARE Open Lab (which is essentially an enlargement of the FI-WARE Testbed in terms of resources, plus the fact that usage will not be limited to UC projects). The plan below has been agreed with Engineering as leader of WP10 (Testbed). We have been able to negotiate with Red.es, a public entity linked to the Spanish Ministry of Industry, the plan for acquiring, deploying and operating a rather ambitious physical infrastructure to support the FI-WARE Testbed and the FI-WARE Open Lab. I hope that you will share our excitement about what we have managed to agree with them since it will allow us to setup a rather ambitious FI-WARE Testbed/OpenLab. The budget devoted to acquisition of the equipments (computing, storage and communication) for such physical infrastructure would be of about 950 K? and would be put by Red.es, with support of Regional funds. You have read it well: acquired equipments, for almost as much as 1M? of budget, will be made available to FI-WARE *WITHOUT ANY COST TO THE PROJECT*. Acquired equipments will be owned by Red.es, but they will be for our exclusive usage. Red.es will also manage deployment of those equipments in a dedicated space within a DataCenter they own and operate. To take advantage of the Regional funds, this datacenter should be placed in Sevilla (a city in Andalucia, who is one of the developing regions that may take advantage of these regional funds). On the other hand, Red.es will also warrant connectivity to Internet through the RedIris network they operate. RedIris is the Spanish National Research and Education Network connected to the GEANT Pan-European Research Network and the Internet. It will responsability of FI-WARE to deploy FI-WARE GEs on top of this physical setup, and operate the deployed FI-WARE Instance (this, of course, will mean that Red.es will have to provide admin access privileges to people working in FI-WARE) However, in order to put in place this ambitious plan, we need to allocate some resources that we could execute to subcontract some of the services/activities that we would need Red.es to assume, namely: Support in the design of the physical infrastructure of the FI-WARE Testbed/OpenLab (number and characteristics of equipments to be placed, as well as how they will be setup) Coordination of activities linked to the process of public adquisition of the equipments linked to the physical infrastructure of the FI-WARE Testbed/OpenLab Housing of the physical infrastructure linked to the FI-WARE Testbed/OpenLab (basic services to be provided linked to the DataCenter where the physical infrastructure will be deployed) Provision and operation of connectivity for the DataCenter where the physical infrastructure will be deployed to Internet Basic DataCenter operation support (i.e., hardware/housing operation) Logistic support to dissemination events physically located in the place where the FI-WARE Testbed and OpenLab would be physically located (i.e., Sevilla): inaguration of the testbed, etc. All these activities may cost a lot, but we have negotiated with Red.es, after long negotiations, that the overall budget for subcontracting these activities may be just 190 K? for the whole duration of the FI-WARE project. Our idea would be to execute the plan in two phases: In the first phase (setting up of the FI-WARE Testbed physical infrastructure on top of which the first release of the FI-WARE Testbed to be used by UC project will be deployed): 195 K? will be spent by Red.es to acquisition of equipments and (therefore, not paid by FI-WARE) 40-50 K? will be spent by FI-WARE to subcontract activities to Red.es (described in our initial mail, still in negotiation) In the second phase (enlargement of the FI-WARE Testbed physical infrastructure on top of which the second release of the FI-WARE Testbed to become part of the FI-WARE Open Innovation Lab): 750 K? will be spent by Red.es to acquisition of equipments (therefore, not paid by FI-WARE) 140-150 K? (190 K? minus what we had spent in the first phase) will be spent by FI-WARE to subcontract activities to Red.es (same ones described in our initial mail) The deal is feasible because we are just talking about a win-win situation: Red.es will run a project that will be partially funded by European Regional Development funds (FEDER funds) and they have the mission of managing that sort of projects for ICT in Spain. They find that running a project that will allow that the main dedicated FI-WARE DataCenter part of the FI-WARE Testbed be located in a developing region in Spain, as Andalucia, fits very well their goals. Second, Red.es also operates the RedIris network as explained above and they believe that placing the core FI-WARE DataCenter as a node connected to this network is a plus. It may foster development of research projects based on FI-WARE technologies, for example. Third, their mission is also to stimulate creation of innovative ICT infrastructures that easy modernization of SME businesses and the creation of IT SME start-ups in Spain. They believe FI-WARE may also help there. Last but not least, setting up a core node of the FI-WARE testbed in Spain has a "political" value on its own and this is also something that they have bought (which I believe means rather good news). There may be other benefits for Red.es you can easily infer if you think about the visibility of the FI-PPP program but I guess these are the main ones. The deal is, of course, quite good for FI-WARE since, as you see, we put 190 K? and we get, in return, 1M? in equipments plus services that cost much more than 190 K? in my honest opinion (for me, all the things they will be able to do in return of the 190 K? we subcontract would cost us much more). Thinking "big", we may think that this plan may stimulate that others propose donating another datacenters for free so that the physical infrastructure of the FI-WARE Testbed is enlarged a we end up building a large pan-european infrastructure. Now, the point is that we have to manage how we can obtain this 190 K? from the existing budget and hire the services from Red.es described above. After some careful analysis, we have found that this budget for subcontracting could be obtained by performing the following rearrangements in the existing budget: We would propose to reduce the budget currently booked for funding allowances and trips for meetings of the Scientific Council (SC) and Market Advisory Councils (MAC) so that it becomes 41 K?. This action would free 100 K?. We believe that it can be implemented by just reducing the number of members in both councils (from 18 to 8 regarding the SC and from 10 to 5 regarding the MAC), reducing the number of meetings of the SC (up to 2) and the duration of meetings (just one day). Funding per person and trip would be limited to 1.150 ?. Devoting 20 K? of the 79 K? budgeted for coordination of events, to events to be located in Sevilla (place where DataCenter linked to the FI-WARE Testbed/OpenLab would be located) Transferring funding of some of the PMs linked to UPM in WP6 (Data/Context Management) into budget for subcontracting of activities to be carried out by Red.es (this has been agreed with UPM). This should free aprox the other 70 K? that are needed. This rearrangements would mean that no budget/funding of existing partners (apart from UPM :-) would be really affected. If we were not able to implement a rearrangement like this we are afraid we would have to go for other schemes (like deducting a % of the funding of each partners) which is always hard to implement and lead to never-ending discussions. And we lack of time for it. I would rather like to implement these changes in the current amendment of the FI-WARE DoW we are negotiating right now because of the Open Calls and other stuff. That would allow us to implement the plan ASAP (and you know that either we launch acquisition of the physical infrastructure soon or we are going to experience big problems). This would be needed in order to make sure that we are able to setup the physical infrastructure on time. We would work so that the physical infrastructure would be operative beginning of May to start integration of FI-WARE components on top. Official inauguration of the FI-WARE Testbed/OpenLab could take place on June 6th, matching the World IPv6 Launch day ( http://www.worldipv6launch.org/) in order to achieve the greatest visibility. There, we would publicly announce the official date for availability of the FI-WARE Testbed and we would disseminate our plans. We look forward your positive response. Design of the requirements for the physical infrastructure to be acquired will be worked out with responsible of WP10 and we need to move fast on that space.

Assuming the plan you propose is agreed by all, it provides the means to obtain a practical result with a limited involvement of funds for the project. I also appreciate the effort by Nuria, which I hope will be well supported by the project members, to identify further opportunities to involve other locations e.g. through the regional initiatives, so as to further strengthen the FI-WARE Testbed and Open Lab propositions.

From my side the only thing I can say is that I agree with the current approach you have described and that it is a huge step towards the sustainability of the project. I am not sure if we could also envisage part of the money reserved for the Open Calls for works related to this (at least for the next phases of the project). It could basically be another action line for the description of either the second or the third Open Call of the project, where third party engagement will become more important. From my side the only thing I can add is that: ? I will think about possible ways to adapt some dissemination activities towards this new direction (Seville is a place where Atos operates extensively) ? I already discuss with the Chamber of Commerce the possibility to organize an event where we can engage more companies (when and if this is needed; besides doing so in Madrid it could be extended through their resources in Seville) ? The use of the network of the Spanish platform of Future internet (ES.INTERNET) can be maximized now that plans get more concrete Finally, as I informed some time ago, I attended the workshop organized by the EC on Regional Funds, where I represented FI-WARE (Stefano was also present). I attach the minutes circulated by the INFINITY project. Not much was said in this first step but I will keep you updated if I see opportunities for FI-WARE to get more visibility or use funds that could strengthen the Open Innovation Lab and Tesbed in this location or that could be used for the purpose of extending the testbed to other locations. This may be combined with other regional strategies. Here I see Trento as an opportunity (Stefano knows more about that).

This mail is to update you on our developments regarding the definition of the physical infrastructure that will be linked to both the FI-WARE Testbed and the FI-WARE Open Lab (which is essentially an enlargement of the FI-WARE Testbed in terms of resources, plus the fact that usage will not be limited to UC projects). The plan below has been agreed with Engineering as leader of WP10 (Testbed). We have been able to negotiate with Red.es, a public entity linked to the Spanish Ministry of Industry, the plan for acquiring, deploying and operating a rather ambitious physical infrastructure to support the FI-WARE Testbed and the FI-WARE Open Lab. I hope that you will share our excitement about what we have managed to agree with them since it will allow us to setup a rather ambitious FI-WARE Testbed/OpenLab. The budget devoted to acquisition of the equipments (computing, storage and communication) for such physical infrastructure would be of about 950 K? and would be put by Red.es, with support of Regional funds. You have read it well: acquired equipments, for almost as much as 1M? of budget, will be made available to FI-WARE *WITHOUT ANY COST TO THE PROJECT*. Acquired equipments will be owned by Red.es, but they will be for our exclusive usage. Red.es will also manage deployment of those equipments in a dedicated space within a DataCenter they own and operate. To take advantage of the Regional funds, this datacenter should be placed in Sevilla (a city in Andalucia, who is one of the developing regions that may take advantage of these regional funds). On the other hand, Red.es will also warrant connectivity to Internet through the RedIris network they operate. RedIris is the Spanish National Research and Education Network connected to the GEANT Pan-European Research Network and the Internet. It will responsability of FI-WARE to deploy FI-WARE GEs on top of this physical setup, and operate the deployed FI-WARE Instance (this, of course, will mean that Red.es will have to provide admin access privileges to people working in FI-WARE) However, in order to put in place this ambitious plan, we need to allocate some resources that we could execute to subcontract some of the services/activities that we would need Red.es to assume, namely: Support in the design of the physical infrastructure of the FI-WARE Testbed/OpenLab (number and characteristics of equipments to be placed, as well as how they will be setup) Coordination of activities linked to the process of public adquisition of the equipments linked to the physical infrastructure of the FI-WARE Testbed/OpenLab Housing of the physical infrastructure linked to the FI-WARE Testbed/OpenLab (basic services to be provided linked to the DataCenter where the physical infrastructure will be deployed) Provision and operation of connectivity for the DataCenter where the physical infrastructure will be deployed to Internet Basic DataCenter operation support (i.e., hardware/housing operation) Logistic support to dissemination events physically located in the place where the FI-WARE Testbed and OpenLab would be physically located (i.e., Sevilla): inaguration of the testbed, etc. All these activities may cost a lot, but we have negotiated with Red.es, after long negotiations, that the overall budget for subcontracting these activities may be just 190 K? for the whole duration of the FI-WARE project. Our idea would be to execute the plan in two phases: In the first phase (setting up of the FI-WARE Testbed physical infrastructure on top of which the first release of the FI-WARE Testbed to be used by UC project will be deployed): 195 K? will be spent by Red.es to acquisition of equipments and (therefore, not paid by FI-WARE) 40-50 K? will be spent by FI-WARE to subcontract activities to Red.es (described in our initial mail, still in negotiation) In the second phase (enlargement of the FI-WARE Testbed physical infrastructure on top of which the second release of the FI-WARE Testbed to become part of the FI-WARE Open Innovation Lab): 750 K? will be spent by Red.es to acquisition of equipments (therefore, not paid by FI-WARE) 140-150 K? (190 K? minus what we had spent in the first phase) will be spent by FI-WARE to subcontract activities to Red.es (same ones described in our initial mail) The deal is feasible because we are just talking about a win-win situation: Red.es will run a project that will be partially funded by European Regional Development funds (FEDER funds) and they have the mission of managing that sort of projects for ICT in Spain. They find that running a project that will allow that the main dedicated FI-WARE DataCenter part of the FI-WARE Testbed be located in a developing region in Spain, as Andalucia, fits very well their goals. Second, Red.es also operates the RedIris network as explained above and they believe that placing the core FI-WARE DataCenter as a node connected to this network is a plus. It may foster development of research projects based on FI-WARE technologies, for example. Third, their mission is also to stimulate creation of innovative ICT infrastructures that easy modernization of SME businesses and the creation of IT SME start-ups in Spain. They believe FI-WARE may also help there. Last but not least, setting up a core node of the FI-WARE testbed in Spain has a "political" value on its own and this is also something that they have bought (which I believe means rather good news). There may be other benefits for Red.es you can easily infer if you think about the visibility of the FI-PPP program but I guess these are the main ones. The deal is, of course, quite good for FI-WARE since, as you see, we put 190 K? and we get, in return, 1M? in equipments plus services that cost much more than 190 K? in my honest opinion (for me, all the things they will be able to do in return of the 190 K? we subcontract would cost us much more). Thinking "big", we may think that this plan may stimulate that others propose donating another datacenters for free so that the physical infrastructure of the FI-WARE Testbed is enlarged a we end up building a large pan-european infrastructure. Now, the point is that we have to manage how we can obtain this 190 K? from the existing budget and hire the services from Red.es described above. After some careful analysis, we have found that this budget for subcontracting could be obtained by performing the following rearrangements in the existing budget: We would propose to reduce the budget currently booked for funding allowances and trips for meetings of the Scientific Council (SC) and Market Advisory Councils (MAC) so that it becomes 41 K?. This action would free 100 K?. We believe that it can be implemented by just reducing the number of members in both councils (from 18 to 8 regarding the SC and from 10 to 5 regarding the MAC), reducing the number of meetings of the SC (up to 2) and the duration of meetings (just one day). Funding per person and trip would be limited to 1.150 ?. Devoting 20 K? of the 79 K? budgeted for coordination of events, to events to be located in Sevilla (place where DataCenter linked to the FI-WARE Testbed/OpenLab would be located) Transferring funding of some of the PMs linked to UPM in WP6 (Data/Context Management) into budget for subcontracting of activities to be carried out by Red.es (this has been agreed with UPM). This should free aprox the other 70 K? that are needed. This rearrangements would mean that no budget/funding of existing partners (apart from UPM :-) would be really affected. If we were not able to implement a rearrangement like this we are afraid we would have to go for other schemes (like deducting a % of the funding of each partners) which is always hard to implement and lead to never-ending discussions. And we lack of time for it. I would rather like to implement these changes in the current amendment of the FI-WARE DoW we are negotiating right now because of the Open Calls and other stuff. That would allow us to implement the plan ASAP (and you know that either we launch acquisition of the physical infrastructure soon or we are going to experience big problems). This would be needed in order to make sure that we are able to setup the physical infrastructure on time. We would work so that the physical infrastructure would be operative beginning of May to start integration of FI-WARE components on top. Official inauguration of the FI-WARE Testbed/OpenLab could take place on June 6th, matching the World IPv6 Launch day ( http://www.worldipv6launch.org/) in order to achieve the greatest visibility. There, we would publicly announce the official date for availability of the FI-WARE Testbed and we would disseminate our plans. We look forward your positive response. Design of the requirements for the physical infrastructure to be acquired will be worked out with responsible of WP10 and we need to move fast on that space.

In particular the 'programme-notion' of the PPP was put on test as the programme critically depends on the close collaboration between all projects. The programme review confirms largely what the individual reviews showed: Good progress. However the detailed analysis revealed also that aspects relating to effective and efficient cooperation could be improved. The experts compiled the attached presentation with their analysis and a set of recommendations. <> Megan and Mario will raise this in their short intervention at the steering board meeting tomorrow. Following the SB meeting, we suggest that this report is shared with all FI-PPP participants directly via Concord. We know that the SB is made up of the most committed people and organisations. With a direct message to all partners we would like to reach out to those who perhaps are not as visibly and directly involved in the FI-PPP. We propose that the SB empowers CONCORD with the follow-up of the recommendations which then should be completed by end of February 2012 Kind regards, Peter Fatelnig European Commission - DG Information Society and Media Deputy Head of Unit - Directorate for Converged Networks and Services Task Force Leader - Future Internet Public-Private Partnership Telephone: +32 229 91 890 Email: peter.fatelnig at ec.europa.eu ________________________________ Este mensaje se dirige exclusivamente a su destinatario.

Last but not least, setting up a core node of the FI-WARE testbed in Spain has a "political" value on its own and this is also something that they have bought (which I believe means rather good news).

Now, the point is that we have to manage how we can obtain this 190 KEUR from the existing budget and hire the services from Red.es described above. After some careful analysis, we have found that this budget for subcontracting could be obtained by performing the following rearrangements in the existing budget: * We would propose to reduce the budget currently booked for funding allowances and trips for meetings of the Scientific Council (SC) and Market Advisory Councils (MAC) so that it becomes 41 KEUR. This action would free 100 KEUR. We believe that it can be implemented by just reducing the number of members in both councils (from 18 to 8 regarding the SC and from 10 to 5 regarding the MAC), reducing the number of meetings of the SC (up to 2) and the duration of meetings (just one day). Funding per person and trip would be limited to 1.150 EUR. * Devoting 20 KEUR of the 79 KEUR budgeted for coordination of events, to events to be located in Sevilla (place where DataCenter linked to the FI-WARE Testbed/OpenLab would be located) * Transferring funding of some of the PMs linked to UPM in WP6 (Data/Context Management) into budget for subcontracting of activities to be carried out by Red.es (this has been agreed with UPM). This should free aprox the other 70 KEUR that are needed. This rearrangements would mean that no budget/funding of existing partners (apart from UPM :-) would be really affected. If we were not able to implement a rearrangement like this we are afraid we would have to go for other schemes (like deducting a % of the funding of each partners) which is always hard to implement and lead to never-ending discussions. And we lack of time for it. I would rather like to implement these changes in the current amendment of the FI-WARE DoW we are negotiating right now because of the Open Calls and other stuff. That would allow us to implement the plan ASAP (and you know that either we launch acquisition of the physical infrastructure soon or we are going to experience big problems). This would be needed in order to make sure that we are able to setup the physical infrastructure on time. We would work so that the physical infrastructure would be operative beginning of May to start integration of FI-WARE components on top. Official inauguration of the FI-WARE Testbed/OpenLab could take place on June 6th, matching the World IPv6 Launch day (http://www.worldipv6launch.org/) in order to achieve the greatest visibility. There, we would publicly announce the official date for availability of the FI-WARE Testbed and we would disseminate our plans. We look forward your positive response. Design of the requirements for the physical infrastructure to be acquired will be worked out with responsible of WP10 and we need to move fast on that space.

As you may recall, the requirements for the new AB member should be: 1) Playing the role of deputy of the Chief Architect and second representative of FI-WARE requires a relatively good knowledge about state of the art and relevant standards as well as expertise in technologies relevant to several chapters in FI-WARE, not just one. At least a rather good knowledge/expertise in three of the chapters and relatively acceptable level of knowledge in another two is required 2) Becoming second representative of FI-WARE in the FI-PPP Architecture Board and playing the role of deputy of the FI-WARE Chief Architect will require 20-30% of the time 3) As a second representative of FI-WARE in the FI-PPP Architecture Board, the deputy Chief Architect would need to travel aproximately once every two months for a meeting of two days and then also be attending relevant technical workshops, events as representative of FI-WARE on behalf of the Chief Architect 4) Regarding definition of the FI-WARE Testbed and the FI-WARE Open innovation Lab, the role of the deputy of the Chief Architect would require interacting with some FIRE projects and representatives of experimental facilities across Europe, working in the design of a technical solution that will ease integration between the FI-WARE Testbed and those facilities. Knowledge about FIRE-related projects (or other experimental facilities) as well as some degree of networking with people/organizations responsible of these facilities would be rather relevant 5) Personal contacts and networking with EC officers We would like to ask the members of the PCC to send us their proposals and suggestions. This issue should be solved asap so we would like to receive the names before the February 27 Best regards ---- Jose Jimenez Telefonica I+D jimenez at tid.es tf +34 91 4832660 ________________________________ Este mensaje se dirige exclusivamente a su destinatario.

All Access Rights to Software that is Foreground, whether for execution of the Project or for Use, shall be in the form of Limited Source Code Access." The definition of "Limited Source Code Access" is (Section 1.2): Limited Source Code Access means: (a) access to Object Code; or, where normal use of such Object Code requires an API, access to such Object Code and such API;or (b), if (a) is not available, access to Source Code if the requesting Party can demonstrate such access is Needed and in any case strictly limited to the extent Needed. To summarize, the "default" is to share binaries and APIs -- for both foreground and background. Only if there is a clear justification (e.g., integration can not be done otherwise), portions of the actual source code can be shared. In fact, this makes a lot of sense to me, because we start the project from existing assets, some of which are proprietary. And the "foreground" work is often about enhancing those assets. So, it doesn't make sense to share the "delta" if you don't share the original code base.

I raised the issue during the Wp9 conference call but I just want to clarify that when I talked about source code of the Prototype deliverables I meant only the foreground knowledge (i.e. software code developed under the FI-WARE Grant) and not background one (i.e. pre-existing code). In addition to this, I did not mean to provide the software code in a public repository market as Public (PU) but in the private area of our portal marked Restricted (RE) or Confidential (CO) according to the licence and Consortium Agreement agreed policies.
