The Agenda for this month’s meeting picks up on all the comments we have been collecting around the Prototype of the REALISE Market Place and was kept short – In fact it was further curtailed by various Skype issues – rain on the line to one particular part of the country possibly!

• Apologies –

None just periodic absences due to Skype

• Feedback from Support and Synthesis Eluminate meeting.

Mike and E.A. fed back comments from the online meeting and discussed future contact with ‘Critical friends’ and Punam Khosla from JISC TechDis regarding the stakeholder aspects of the project.

• REALISE Market place – queries and things still to be done

Ross explained how he felt there were still several changes to be made to the Market Place.

There were questions around IP and Copyright – some questions could be added to the Community Explorer tool – SL

Discussions around traffic lights, complexity and people could be heard in between silence.  It soon became clear that a dodgy Skype line was not going to solve all the queries that were cropping up.  it was decided at this point  that it was crucial to go through the OSSWatch Openness Rating mentioned within the Software Sustainability Maturity Model. Three possible projects were chosen as case studies and a meeting will be held at the University of Southampton on 10/11th March 2011 to go through the items in detail. In the meantime any bugs, ideas or features could be listed on the REALISE Software configuration management site

The remaining items on the Agenda will be discussed during the two days. RG. SL, PC, SS, MW, EAD

• Link up with groups – confirm names and ways of making more business links
• Feedback from KT-Equal
• AAATE and other conferences and workshops
• AOB

Date of next face to face meeting 10/11th March, 2011 at University of Southampton.
