1. CONCORD Review on 14 November 2011 TIVIT

2. T2.1 FI-PPP Portal – www.fi-ppp.eu
The first site was up by the launch of the Programme May 2, 2011
All projects were asked for criteria and functionalities, Dissemination Working Group has served as the ongoing forum
The new design was presented in August 2011 and comments collected
The current site is based functionally and graphically on the guidelines and comments received from the constituency
The community is strongly involved in automated and proactive information collection
Project presentations
News, Blogs, Showroom, Tweets
Discussion groups in LinkedIn
Intranet for document search and virtual meeting info
Collaborative document creation platform in evaluation (svn, RedMine, FusionForge, Amphi Wikispaces, etc.)

4. Development plans
The target is to make the portal more attracting, captivating and collaborative
One challenge is to serve the different target groups and (yet) provide own stories
Another challenge is to provide added value and sell the common forum to the programme participants
Avoid competition with project sites
Engage the critical mass of persons to make it dynamic, interesting and relevant
Build the positive synergy through the commons instead of windowing the challenges faced within the programme
Provide missing elements, useful tools for programme interaction -> always a compromise!

5. T2.2 Methodologies, Tools
Mailing lists, document repository, portal, virtual meeting tools in use
Agile was introduced by CONCORD as a Way of Working
Appropriate tool was searched -> FusionForge by FI-WARE selected
Architecture Board uses Agile in
Recording questions
Recording requests
Maintaining FI-WARE backlog: Listing , prioritizing, assigning
Monitoring the development process
It is studied whether the FusionForge adds value to Steering Board work as well, or some other collaborative platform would be more practical
CONCORD is ready to offer management tools and practices (e.g. flock/cloud management, etc.) upon programme requests and decisions
