dear juanjo and all, first of all congratulations to you and all for the successful review!!! this review demontrates that working as team and working with open mind towards the fi-ppp programme pays, and i had to say, aftyer the clear success of yesterday in the stockholm tunnel, pays a lot!!! thank you also for these notes that gave me the chance to understand the results as i was not able to attend the last part of the review and the phc of this morning due to the stockholm exercise (did you noticed i twitted it???) ciao, stefano 2012/11/30 Juanjo Hierro <jhierro at tid.es>: > Dear all, > > Please find below my very raw notes of the feedback provided by Arian.

A different issue is the funding, but that may come from > another programs and definitively the FI-PPP should welcome projects funded > by other programs to be able to join the FI-PPP and carry out their > activities taking advantage of the FI-WARE Open Innovation Lab, for > instance. Jose Jimenez asked whether the EC could take a more proactive > role here and either incorporate recommendations in the calls of those > programs or at least certain value this aspect in evaluation of proposals. > Regarding that, Arian suggested that a letter is written and sent to the > Head of Unit (Jesus Villasante). > > Juanjo asked about acceptance/rejection of deliverables: Answer: they > cannot provide information about acceptance/rejection of deliverables > because they didn't have time to discuss this in detail but that information > will come in the draft review report before Christmas. Nevertheless, they > can anticipate that judgement will take into account the more strategic and > forward-looking approach they believe should be taken now. Also, > considering the fact that some of the deliverables will anyway need to be > evolved and submitted again accompanying Release 2. > > Juanjo commented his personal concern about traceability of features. > This might be a very nice academic exercise but requires time, may imply > re-structuring things and distract focus.
