Dear colleagues, I have had a long conversation with our PO this afternoon and we managed to agree on the formula for delivering the software and Installation/Administration Guidelines linked to the GEs that are marked as PP. The agreement is that both deliverables can be made available to the EC for auditing/reviewing purposes on the servers (indeed, VMs) where the software will actually be hosted, this meaning either servers located in the datacenter linked to the FI-WARE Testbed or remote servers (this only applying to those cases where it was agreed that the GE would not be deployed on the FI-WARE Testbed datacenter). We just need to generate a document that identifies the server where the software (binaries) and Installation/Administration Guides will be available and also explains how the EC can get access to the binaries and Installation/Administration Guides. Note that software must be binaries and not VM images. I have push for adoption of this solution as a mean to cover all the concerns expressed by some of the partners. Based on the Collaboration Agreement signed by all parties, FI-WARE GE software binaries and Installation/Administration Guides will not be made available to FI-PPP partners unless they: * request them in writing * require them because they need them for execution of their respective projects within the FI-PPP * can explain that using them "as a Service" through a well defined API (from the FI-WARE Testbed or any other alternative hosting facility) is not enough * an agreement is signed between the GE owner and the FI-PPP partner requesting the software Note that while it's unlikely that a UC project may require access to binaries and Installation/Administration Guides in this first phase of the program ... I expect that these three conditions may fulfilled by several trials in phase 2 and 3 of the FI-PPP. Nevertheless, there will be some few cases where the above conditions would apply even in the current, first phase of the program. It is clear regarding the Cloud Proxy GE in my opinion, but maybe also true with respect to some IoT gateway -related GEs or other GEs that UC projects may need to deploy in local infrastructures. We will keep the "FI-WARE PPP Restricted" project only accessible to FI-WARE partners and the EC (plus reviewers). We will also probably rename it as "FI-WARE Review". GE owners are free to officially deliver their software (binaries) and Installation/Administration Guides on the SVN and docman tools of that project. They may also deliver only foreground software there. This would be an alternative to creation of a dedicated space, at the servers where the software is hosted, where the software should easily be identifiable against any other software. Actually, we will deliver a document to the EC where we will declare that the software is available in the SVN and docman system of this project in FusionForge. Please let us know what of the two options you will choose before end of this week. That way, we will be able to organize the final package of deliverables. In the case that any UC project requires access to binaries and Installation/Administration Guides of a given FI-WARE GE, the above conditions should be met and then we will discuss how the software should be delivered. Hope it helps. Don't hesitate to ask any doubt or question you may have.
