Hi, We are about to close the second round of contributions to the Architecture Description deliverable. I hope we will close what we will finally publish by EOB today. Regarding the Technical Roadmap, I'm reviewing it carefully prior to publication. I know this will mean a bit of delay with respect to what was planned but this deliverable is quite important because it is where we will declare what we commit to deliver when. I'm reviewing it at the light of the remarks I forwarded to you at the beginning of this week (attached below for your convenience). On the other hand, we cannot go for publishing it if there is an important piece that is missing (technical roadmap of Apps Chapter). Therefore, SAP, please you should deliver this URGENTLY.

I also guess that you would agree that, while the text we are going to produce here doesn't need to be long, it may be highly relevant because we are trying to fix there WHAT WE COMMIT TO DELIVER WHEN. Therefore, I would like to make a couple of remarks: * Please try to commit for the first release what we believe is strictly a MUST, that is, things we believe that, if not brought, FI-WARE will be useless to the UC projects (or, at least, they will blame of us :-) Note that we didn't specify what we were going to bring in the first release within the current signed DoW. Therefore, nobody will be able to make the point that we are not fulfilling the DoW if we do not deliver this or that. HOWEVER, we will JUDGED with respect to whatever we commit to deliver now: if we promise to deliver something in the first release now and then we fail to deliver it, then the reviewers will have the right to say we failed and reject acceptance of, among others, the FI-WARE Testbed deliverable. * It's not a matter of committing to deliver what we believe we can develop and have ready for integration by end of April based on selected baseline assets. Don't underestimate the integration efforts on the testbed. Also don't underestimate integration coordination efforts: just following up that a given GE is properly installed and configured in the Testbed will take its time not only to leaders of tasks in WP10, but also to you as chapters leads and myself ... so, why should we spent time in something that nobody would consider urgent/must ? It's better that we rather concentrate on integrating the less things possible for the first release and leave integration of things that can wait for later. We should just focus on what can be a STABLE integrated FI-WARE Release and then make it grow, adding new GEs or features in already integrated GEs. * Despite we talk just about Major Releases in the FI-WARE DoW or in the Technical Roadmap Deliverable, we should plan to be able to upgrade the testbed at our convenience every three months, so that new GE software or upgrades on existing GEs arrives end of July 2012, October 2012, January 2013, Abril 2013, July 2013, ... and then new releases of the testbed are published by end of October 2012, January 2013, Abril 2013, July 2013, October 2013 respectively (we typically book three months for integration testing in the testbed). So don't hesitate to defer things for the first or the second minor release within the second major release of FI-WARE in your planning. * I propose the following to handle what is planned in the different minor releases of the second major release. We will publish the Technical Roadmap deliverable just making the distinction on what goes in the first Major Release and what goes in the second Major Release of FI-WARE. And please be conservative promising things for the First Major Release. Then, what we will do is ask the UC projects: Is there anything planned for the Second Major Release you wish to have prioritized ? Then, based on their feedback, we will prioritize the features they highlight and will try to deliver then a little bit in advance, planning them in the first minor releases of the second major release (e.g., to get it ready in the FI-WARE Testbed either by end of October 2012 or end of January 2013). Doing so, we are showing we care about their priorities and show some flexibility.
