Arian right after the review meeting.

   Cheers,

Positive points:

   you appear as a team and relaxed.   Project positive vision.  You
believe in what are you doing and we believe it is real.
   effort in collaboration, communication and dissemination sounds
pretty good but strategic plan should be pretty
   Engineering contribution is pretty good.   DevCommE, should name is
still a disaster :-)
   Technical work is better that the way is presented.
   People are serious and show
   High enphasis on software that works.  That is minimum should
   I2ND: has progressed significantly
   Security: good progress, example to the rest
   FI-WARE still a normal FP7 project but the PPP
   Testbed: good progress, like matrix on usage by UC usage

No so positive:

   Thinking "good technology" sells itself alone and this is native
   Too many times "this will come later" ("mañana")
   Difficult to distinguish

   Discrepancies in the backlog that have to be fixed
   Discrepancies in the management reports (e.g. Zigbee according to
   Relaxed attitude wrt delay

   To improve regarding impact.   Example is the Website.
   Economic model behind (business case) has to be considered more and
earlier.   Should be clear.
   Nice that you mention that you are starting to involve the Business
but has to be visible.

   Lack of justification and accountability in deliverables.  It's not
only about

   White paper regarding encompassing of GEs will be important

   Distinction between GEs and SEs

   Management has improved.   Workload has been distributed.

   Some partners are not that visible.   In the reporting it should be
visible what each is doing, overall academia partners.

   Architectural weeks very positive and we encourage to continue this
in the future.


Recommendations:

   Like to see evidence of using the FI-WARE Testbed from UC projects.
They assume that they will start right after

   Measure point sometime mid September / October regarding usage of
FI-WARE Testbed

   Some of the GEs might seem not to be critical then and therefore it
might be then a point at which it would be sensible to reconsider what
is being done.

   Should be a plan for justification and accountability.

   They need to check how recommendations have been

   Different templates being used regarding the Open Specifications.

   Clean up backlog and continues correct.

   Restricted GEs (SAP) should be publicly available by end of July.

   Business Model WG at FI-PPP should be a useful tool as a vehicle to
discuss the Business aspects.

   Next review in FI-WARE Testbed location (Sevilla ?) in month 18. They
want to see people from the Business Units: Telefonica, SAP, Telecom
Italia and Orange.

   Would like to see planning regarding training of DevCommE


Deliverables:

   They will not comment on that now.  We'll see in the report.
