[Fiware-apps] Message from the coordinator

[Leidig, Torsten]

Hi folks,

Junanjo wants me to forward the following information to you:

_______

AP: Telefónica will review overall status of deliveries for M12 in each chapter and will report on it to each WPL.

Telefónica will make a proposal for the PCC: after reiterative delays, action must be taken. Failing to  deliver in time (before the end of July - deadline: 23 of July) would result in the rejection of a fraction of the costs of the involved partner. Percentages of the penalties to be decided in the next PCC meeting. Round table to check on opinion: general acceptance or "no comment". Additional info (further to a question from Thierry): WPL opinion will be a fundamental input to fine tune the process.

Proposal accepted by the PCC:

Now, it is time to fix the details of what these measures will be. TID proposes the following (we will also develop a similar formula to FI-WARE GEs we commited to be available on the testbed by end of September, using September 10th instead of July 23rd):
*

Partners involved in development of a given FI-WARE GE that is not delivered by July 23rd will not be allowed to justify any PM in WP3-WP8 until they deliver.  Once they deliver, it will be assumed that the PMs consumed had been those that were reported until month 12, so that no additional PMs will be accepted.   Planning of PMs for the remaining of the project will be adjusted accordingly.
*       Delivery of software that doesn't work or proves to be rather unstable in the FI-WARE Testbed will not be considered as actually delivered.  This intends to prevent that some partner delivers software which doesn't meet enough quality by July 23rd just to avoid costs rejections.
*       Partners that deliver by July 23rd will be allowed to justify the PMs planned until July 23rd (provided that the software they have delivered is not rejected as stated in the previous point).  This means they would not suffer any impact.
*       PMs of any partner within a given WP (WP3-8) are distributed from month 10 on across deliverables as follows (note: we propose to include whatever distribution gets approved in the next amendment of the DoW):
o

Contributions to WP2 deliverables: 10%
o       FI-WARE Open Specifications: 20%
o       SW Release: 40%
o       Installation and Admin Guides: 7,5%
o       Users' and Programmers' Guides: 7,5%
o       Unit Testing Plan and Report: 15%
*

Deliverables of a given WP rejected by the WPL will be rejected. TID and the WPL agree on any amendment of the above rules that may apply (e.g., failing to deliver a given GE may not be the fault of all partners involved in development of that GE so they may agree not to apply penalizations to some partners).   TID may reject some additional deliverables if it considers that they do not meet the defined guidelines or expected quality, after discussion with the WPL.
*       Similar rules would apply to WP9 (development tools)
_________


We can discuss this in our concall tomorrow morning.

Regards,
Torsten
