dear nuria and all, (please keep this email to the pcc members only) thank you very much for having represented fi-ware at the sb in a so difficult situation and having fight for us there! reading well your email the worst, that was easily to predict with the election of werner, is happening .... all together, me included, we under estimated this event. having as sb chair a person who has conflicting if not competing goals (i.e. setting up a concurring ppp) was a big mistake, although i like very much werner as a person and as a manager. i do not why, but a clear split, if not friction, between fi-ware and the "others" is now well in place and this is certainly not due to our behaviour. i can say, through my participation to the ab, that always we accommodated the requests of the uc projects even when those where not nice for us. i have also to say that somebody (please do not ask me who) of the sb said that you were not enough to represent fi-ware at the sb! this is to me is completely unacceptable as if the pcc has elected you as our representative, for whoever outside fi-ware you also are fi-ware, no doubts on this! i'd like to confirm, if by chance needed, that engineering trust on you is of no doubts. coming to the specific points of your email: 1. i migth agree the uc projects to be worried becouse the terms and conditions are not yet completed, but one thing is to be worried another different story is to complain becouse of that. we always said that testbed v2 will be out on 31st july so please just wait for that. 2. about campus party here i'm really up in the air! may be there are rules to judge if an event is a fi-ppp event or not, honestly i do not know them may be i just missed a specific communication on the matter, but clearly an event where the commissioner will go to present and launch an outcome of fi-ppp project, by definition is a fi-ppp event! more than that, to me whatever project is making a presentation of some results at whatever event, by definition that event IS a fi-ppp event, no matter what! in the particular case we were not asking for any support from the fi-ppp as we are contracting specific organisations to perform the job, so what? we have to admit that details about the agenda are not completely set, but this is due to the fact that the ec is delaying amendment 5 to be signed causing us significant problems. i think the one of the sb with respect to dissemination is an attitude extremly narrow-minded which will not bring anything positive to the whole fi-ppp. this is particularly true in a situation in which the ec is seeking, if not eager, for events where the fi-ppp is an actor. 3. fi-ware is delivering in a timely manner, we all should know this! we all are making a huge effort to avoid even an hour of delay. what instead i can tell you all (from my monitoring positioning of the five different fi-ppp projects where engineering is partner) is that the situation of the various uc projects and xifi is rather difficult. significant delays, at least for what concerns the deliverables expected in the first months, will occur. this should not affect our work at all, nor even justify any single hour of delay from us. this is only to make you aware of current progresses from inside. i think in the next weeks and months we urge to put in place a diplomatic action to recover from this friction in order to bring to a great success the whole initiative! ciao, stefano 2013/6/24 Nuria De-Lama Sanchez <nuria.delama at atosresearch.eu> > Dear all,**** > > ** ** > > As you know, last week there was a Steering Board of the FI PPP in > Brussels.
