I have also checked these over and added my comments: Enterprise Metasearch (comcepta ag) - no justifications in the text boxes GridSAM (University of Southampton) - Q9 has not been answered in the Software View - it doesn't make any difference to the rating though Grimoires (University of Southampton) - Form completed satisfactorily OpenOffice.org (The Open Learning Centre) - Form completed satisfactorily Zimbra (London Connects) - Form completed satisfactorily - Please ignore the 2nd application - they had trouble with the timeout problem Also, I have observed a number of companires that have registered but not applied their products for certification: * AVG Transport Heijen BV * IBM UK Limited * Guerrilla Networkz * Orchard Information Systems Ltd. * CIRB * De Winter Information Solutions * BioXpr * P-Soft di Codebue Fabio & C. sas * Royal Haskoning * Openbravo * itics * Noel-Baker Community School I can provide fuller details but the GNUE screen doesn't do 'select all' so I can provide a screenshot instead Regards - Rod -- Shane Coughlan FTF Coordinator Free Software Foundation Europe Office: +41435000366 ext 408 / Mobile: +41792633406 coughlan(a)fsfeurope.org Support Free Software > http://fsfe.org

Re: Conf call today
by Shane Martin Coughlan 23 May '08

Thanks for a useful discussion today Graham. Bob, for the record the board ratified the accounts of the company. All, we believe we have agreement on all the issues. Graham noted that the document I circulated was approaching things from a high level perspective while his document focused more on specific action items. I believe that is a fair assessment. My own feeling is that our tactical decisions can be guided by an understanding of the overarching strategy because it allows us to see precisely we need to apply resource streams. When it comes to various action items, I think we all agree on the various points raised (like Graham said in his paper, methods of focus etc). We need to find a suitable market segment and we need to target parties who carry influence in that market. A key question is which segment provides the most potential benefit to us? We need to identify the segment so that various actions - such a tightly defining the marketing message - can be applied correctly. Graham suggest the possibility of having a meeting in London with various parties like IBM and DeLoitte to discuss this topic and find such a segment. I also believe this may be useful. In real terms, we need to have a segment we can sell into so that we can really make the best use of the limited resources at our disposal. On a final note, I think another point of agreement is that need to use standard and proven tools for analysis. Product, place, price, promotion, segmentation theory and SWOT. We need to build on best practice and common understanding to ensure success.

Conference call today
by Shane Martin Coughlan 23 May '08

23 May '08

Dear all I'd just like to confirm who is intended to be on the conference call today? Georg is out of the office, so using the FSFE internal phone, I can only do a three-way conversation (Georg, myself and one other party). If there are more people, we need to get a conference room through Chelgate or something.
