Discussion around how we would work with open source projects – Individual projects will need their own communities – we need to bridge between these communities for REALISE  for example MAAVIS and Toolbar – need to explore how we get communities working in collaboration – Action All

One idea is a  F2F meeting before AATE 2010 (Oct 5th)   – brainstorming current state and future of the AT products or devices we have developed then have time evaluating the each one with stakeholders and key people inc. user organisations and businesses etc  The end process would be coping out the ideas with all members of the REALISE and those interested in open development.

Submission to RAATE needed ASAP – workshop – how to develop AT using an open innovation methodology.  This will be a practical workshop discussing the issues that surround your ideas for products that might be useful for disabled users. Mike Wald has already written an abstract for a possible presentation. Action MW, EAD and PC

Need to review the Devices for Dignity  (D4D)  Assistive Technology Innovations Broker (ATIB) database from a technical and accessibility point of view to make a decision as to whether this can be built on for the project – We need to comment on the changes that may be needed and is it ready for potential users – check content.  Action EAD, PC and SL

Peter will embed the questions we have as part of the evaluation of the suitability of the platform. This will be available in two weeks time.  Peter will confirm to the team when we have access to the database. Action PC

Peter mentioned that he has an update on the contract related to the ATIB – Sheffield Teaching Hosp and Barnsley Hosp and University of Sheffield have met and agreed that they are currently drawing up a contract to release ATIB to the REALISE consortium.  Considerations for the open development of the database have been discussed.  Ross asked if it could be made open source – it uses Joomla that may have an impact on the level of openness. Peter to verify any copyright issues that may arise with ATIB. Action PC

D4D’s view about the future of ATIB and REALISE is that essentially the goals for the two projects are not identical so initially the two project will co-exist and only towards the end of the REALSIE project will they possibly be co-joined – so there is a positive outcome with a sharing of learning by creating a single entity.   ATIB is designed to support all innovations not just open source and open innovation – users are allowed to have password protected areas to discuss code etc.
