Dear ALL,

I'm happy to announce that a number of partners from the EU VAALID project 
decided to propose part of their software for incubation within AALOA.

The attached proposal is very interesting with a good roadmap indicating 
commitment to maintain and improve the software.

Please cast your vote as usual in a week, asking for further clarification if 
needed.

+1   [ I agree ]
0 [ I don't care, I don't know ]
-1[ I don't agree, I'm contrary ]

Betreff: [aaloa promoters] [Vote] BRAID project ask to join as supporter of 
AALOA

Dear All,

the European project BRAID (http://braidproject.org/) has requested to join the 
AALOA as supporter.
It means that we will add the name and logo of the project in the Manifesto and 
website.
BRAID is a running FP7 project, and I'm confident it will provide a valuable 
contribution to AALOA.

This vote will be open for a week.
Please express your vote in time.


BRAID (Bridging Research in Ageing and ICT Development) is an 
EU FP7 Support 
Action aimed at developing a comprehensive Research and Technological 
Development (RTD) roadmap for active ageing, by consolidating existing roadmaps 
and by describing and launching a stakeholder co-ordination and consultation 
mechanism. The project’s aims are to characterise key research challenges and 
produce a vision for a comprehensive approach in supporting the well-being and 
socio-economic integration of increasing numbers of senior citizens in Europe. 
BRAID is building upon the experience and knowledge developed in previous 
projects, namely AALIANCE, 
CAPSIL, ePAL, and 
SENIOR, while taking account of e-inclusion 
efforts in the EU27 as well as Australia, Canada, Japan and the US.

Best regards,
Francesco

Betreff: Re: [aaloa promoters] Nominating the temporary governing board

Good morning,

waiting for other people to express their opinion,  let me do two examples on 
the activities of such exec committee.
 - project proposals:
the committee should approve project proposals. CNR, Fh-IGD, Itaca-UPVand 
Sintef  will provide the needed resources, but we need the opinion of a larger 
committee. So even individuals can participate, in this case  the only resource 
they will spend is their time to evaluate the proposal (e.g one page abstract)

- agreement with other organizations:
Few days ago thanks to Reiner we have received the Support of Ami'10 
organization (http://www.ami-10.org/) (we are linked) . Any contact and 
agreement with other organizations should be discussed and proposed to members 
of such committee.
We have many contacts in view e.g. Open URC, OHT, Continua, EFMI  and so on.

Last I would like to present the committee to the AAL Forum next week. (15/9)

Summarizing we are:
Saied + Reiner (Fh-IGD)
Joe + Bruno (Sintef)
Antonio + Bruno (Trialog)

What about the others?
Sergio, Juan  Pablo, Francois, Marco, Sten,Thomas, Gunnar, ...  ?  the roll 
call is long :-)  and I know some  people is travelling to Odense.

I think that the supporters and promoters mailing lists along with the 
temporary governing board provide us altogether even with three level of 
commitment for the incubation phase, which I find fine. In this phase, a 
coherent set of by-laws and governing rules must be defined according to which 
the legal entity to be established will work. How it will be in those by-laws, 
is IMO still under discussion.

  Thank you François.

As in the Manifesto we suggest to organize the association with two
boards, I would clarify soon one aspect of this phase.

IMO any organization we decide now, it is only to steer this community
towards the incorporation of an association according the legal
framework of some European state. In the end the bodies foreseen for the
real association could be very different.

That said, I agree with François, we need two level of commitments. But
I think we already have the first council or college, it is the
promoters list (more or less 25 people). The people who decided to join
this list is motivated to discuss of the organization of AALOA, but
because it will be often tedious and only sometimes exciting, I don't
expect to receive a contribute every time from all those we are. But a
minimal level of cohesion already exists, that's this mailing list was
created right to differentiate this group from the supporters group.
Nevertheless always volunteers we are.

Now because the option of François (that's co-optation of two bodies) is
an alternative, I would like to know what do you think.

1) Do you see a vantage in nominating a council of volunteers and and
executive committee ? e.g. a smaller group of people ..

2) Can we consider the promoters list the council and proceed only with
the nomination of the executive committee?

Dear Francesco,

based on what we talked in Madrid I want you to add me as a person to the AALOA 
board.

Sten you should reply to the mail on the Promoters mailing list with subject
"[aaloa promoters] Nominating the temporary governing board"
the last reply was from Thomas Karopka


I think we also wrote you a mail some month ago that I have checked with our 
offices that AIT-HBS would like to be a promoting company. So far I see us not 
on the AALOA page (the logo you find in the erroom).
Please use the following link (also behind Andreas and my name in the supporter 
and promoter list!!): http://www.ait.ac.at/homeCare-AALSolutions

Probably I misunderstood your position. By the way  being promoters as 
organization means that your Organization  may be asked to share the cost of 
the infrastructure ... in this moment we don't have big expenditure ... CNR is  
providing the machine and the domain maintenance, but it could be in the future 
we need to share cost of maintaining the association in general.  We (CNR, 
FhIGD, ITACA, SINTEF) had a telco in order to discuss about such issues, but we 
don't have a formal agreement... only a gentlemen agreement and a number of 
Expression of Interest (letters exchanged)

If you are sure that you want this visibility and "duties",  then replying to 
the above mail, I suggest you to state also the intention of your organization 
to be listed as Promoting Organization as you are committed to strongly support 
this community, and that Andreas will contact the other organisations by 
sending an Expression of Interest. (we can talk better about this)


Concerning the names don't worry. You are listed in both the groups. The 
difference is that in the web page they are listed alphabetically, while in the 
manifest according the time they joined.



You will also get a message soon that we want to join AALOA with a project 
called H.O.M.E.R which is an OSGI based sensor service platform we want also to 
offer in open source and which is already used in the BEDMOND AAL-JP. Please 
consider homer.aaloa.org

Great to know about this !!!
Sten the first project to be supported will be ZigBee 4OSGi. We will start  in 
few days (week) and you will see an example of the procedure that we will put 
in place. Basically a project proposal should be submitted to the temporary 
governing board to be accepted and incorporated. Yes, the board of which you 
will be part, then the needed infrastructure will be allocated for the project, 
 if it is accepted.
The important things to know are:
- Is the project already active?  if yes than there are a number of persons 
already working on it and maybe sharing already some infrastructure. Are those 
infrastructures public? are they using collaborative tools for an OS 
development? If yes, then we can just point to your host machine with the 
address homer.aaloa.org
This would mean to really start to federate projects and you as Promoting 
Organization to create a piece of the shared infrastructure of AALOA. (in this 
case I would suggest you to allocate a separate machine for the project, in 
fact one of the option we discussed was to donate Host machines to the 
association)
Otherwise, if you need to create this infrastructure from the scratch, we would 
allocate the resources for you.
It means that on the AALOA Host machine we would instantiate the software you 
require.
It would be more easy having you as promoter, because in this case one  
"infrastructure manager" of your organization could be granted with access 
right to our machine and start to set up your environment.
Yes, because each project is autonomous, we don't force you to use the same 
tools apart from the SVN repository, that is important to track the activity of 
all the community.

Another important aspect is the number of people working in the project. You 
should indicate the number of initial committers, and the project leader who 
will maintain contact with the Governing Board of AALOA (this should be 
confirmed by the Bylaw of the association when incorporated )
Moreover it is also useful to list a number of persons (key person, 
personalities)  that express their interest in the project proposal ... they 
don't necessarily be part active of the project now neither in the future. This 
is also a way to push you to make publicity to your project, and to bring new 
attention to AALOA too.




As discussed please consider me also member of
