Dear Susan,<br>
<br>
thank you very much for the feedback that, as far as I can judge,
does unfortunately come too late :-( because people have already
prepared translations of the old text... a pity!<br>
<br>
Dear German-speaking supporters,<br>
<br>
Earlier this morning, I sent the message below to Antonio:<br>
<blockquote>this is just to check if what I have arranged with our
press office is what you wanted to have:<br>
<ul>
<li>our office sends a short message that invites the press to
watch the live video streams at the given time</li>
<li>but the German press release will remain blocked until the
live streaming is finished</li>
<li>however, this would mean that the press release will
effectively be released on Wednesday morning on a special
channel, where all German press has access to (it costs 500 €,
but our institute is paying it)</li>
<li>last but not least, our press office has rejected to use the
translation provided by us, because they believe that it is
too technical that attracts no / little attention (according
to them, our translation could be appropriate for being put on
the Web sites rather than being sent as a press release). They
are preparing a free translation that reflects the same spirit
but is more appropriate for the press. This revised text will
be sent to that special channel on Wednesday. I will send it
to you as soon as I receive it.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
Now, I have the "free translation" by our press office that had to
remain within the boundaries of 300 words in order not to exceed the
cost of 500 €. Here, I would like to simply share it with you (see
the attachment).<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
<br>

<pre wrap="">Thanks, Saied,
Sorry for my late response - I hope it's still useful.
In order to make it a real press release, you need to add a location and
date. I also have slightly edited the press release - see attached. If you
disagree with the edits just remove them.
I will need to talk to Jesus, the coordinator of OSAMi Commons, whether we
can join the quotes section.
BTW, where do we stand now with the initiation of a real organization? Do we
need any admin support, do we have a financial background we can rely on
etc.? Please let me know.
Thanks,
Susan

also Reiner Wichert has added a statement; I tried to gather all the
statements and the original text by Francesco & Joe in one document for a
better overview of all the text to be translated (attached).

<pre wrap="">Dear all,
I have discussed with Francesco that Gunnar quote will be the following
The MonAMI project objective is investigate, specify, validate and
promote an approach based on mainstream technologies so that AAL
applications can be deployed in a cost effective manner. We believe
that this can only happen if a widely used AAL platformbased on
standards is available. This is the reason why we have participated
to the creation of AALOA. We intend to play an active role in
ensuring that building blocks made availble in AALOA platform can be
integrated into future industry solutions.
I have also translated the press release in French. Bruno is to check
it again.

Hello,
here a first version already reviewed by Joe.
-----------------------------------------------
*A new Ambient Assisted Living community is born and wants you.
*
Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) is a new term referring to one of the
most important societal challenges facing us in the coming years.
Starting from the problem of population aging, AAL is about
intelligent systems that use technology to provide assistance for a
better, healthier and safer life in the preferred living environment.
Starting in 2006, various research projects funded by the EU FP6 and
FP7 research programmes have been developing ideas in this field.
Seven of these projects have now joined forces and decided it is time
to start a convergence process to build a consensus on the
standardization of AAL systems. To do so, the projects now support the
incorporation of an AAL Open Association -- known as AALOA.
The mission of AALOA is to provide a shared open framework for
developers, technology and service providers, research institutions
and end user associations to discuss, design, develop, evaluate and
standardize a common service platform for Ambient Assisted Living.
The call for action is expressed in the AALOA Manifesto
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.aaloa.org/manifesto">http://www.aaloa.org/manifesto</a>), and was distributed publically for
the first time in September 2010 at the AAL Forum in Odense, Denmark
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.aalforum.eu/">http://www.aalforum.eu/</a>).It has attracted subscriptions from more
than fifty individuals coming from the academic world and industry.
The first project initiated by the AALOA community is EvAAL
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://eval.aaloa.org">http://eval.aaloa.org</a>), an international competition aimed at
evaluating AAL systems and creating recognized benchmarks for the
assessment of the research results in this field.
AALOA invites you to join the community, and to participate in its
activities: to bring fresh ideas, to propose workshops and new
projects and to contribute actively to the growth of the association.
For details of how to join, please visit: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.aaloa.orgor">http://www.aaloa.orgor</a> write
to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:info@aaloa.org_">info@aaloa.org_</a>

-----------------------------------------------
Francesco Furfari from CNR, Italy the first subscriber of the
Manifesto says:
"It's the first time that independent research projects have decided
to join their efforts and share their findings before the projects
have even finished. This is possible thanks to a common Open Source
policy which may produce a strong impact on the market. Several
industrial alliances have recently demonstrated how OSS can quickly
open new markets, especially when the costs of developing a platform
are spread over a multiplicity of stakeholders".
----------------------------------------------
Joe Gorman coordinator of EU project universAAL says:
"As the latest and largest AAL project in the series funded by the EU,
one of the main objectives of the universAAL project is to work
towards establishment of a standard platform for AAL.And not just the
platform itself:also a community of people and organisations
contributing to its development and uptake.We see AALOA as playing a
central role in this, by putting us in touch with key stakeholders in
the field, and providing a forum for real discussion and synergy with
them".
