Hi all, Please find enclosed the final review report from the EC and our team of reviewers. The review report is negative, as expected. However, there are some more negative surprises like the fact that they have rejected 50% of the costs linked to Open Specification deliverables (despite nowhere in the DoW it is specified how much effort would correspond to development of Open Specifications in the DoW). In my honest opinion, the statements regarding evaluation of the Open Specifications deliverable are highly arguable. Just as an example, note that it is stated that "The deliverable does not provide sufficient basis for practical implementation by software developers, which is its main purpose" regarding all Chapters. I don't know what your opinion is but I believe this is fundamentally wrong. I will elaborate on a mail following this one about the statements made in the review regarding Open Specifications and why I believe many of them are fundamentally wrong. Whether we should produce a formal answer or not is unclear to us (TID) so we would like to hear your personal opinion. Certainly answering it will distract us from our main focus now. But on the other hand, resubmission of Open Specifications will depend very much on what we accept as valid comment from reviewers. Maybe the best option is to answer formally but do it later, given the fact that they request to resubmit Open Specifications by end month 18, i.e., end of October. Therefore, we would focus now in stabilizing the FI-WARE Testbed, ensuring that a proper collaboration with UC projects is in place and working well, and finalizing resubmission/submission of deliverables linked to Architecture, Technical Roadmap and 3rd Party Innovation Enablement. Again, we would like to hear your opinion. Definitively this is something we should discuss in our next follow-up confcall. Don't hesitate to share this with your teams. It should be used to encourage people to pay attention to meeting milestones and ensure that contributions come with the required quality. Also to explain why we had to put in place hard measures targeted to ensure that we were going to deliver. We have made a big effort to have the FI-WARE up and running without impacting UC projects, so I feel positive that the overall evaluation of the project will improve soon. But we cannot relax and have to work hard together to ensure that the FI-WARE First Release becomes a success in the upcoming months.
