Dear fellow campaigners for AAL and IoT,<br>
<br>
as most of you know, universAAL IoT <<a
class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.universaal.info">www.universaal.info</a>>
is an open source platform distributed with Apache License 2.0 that
enables seamless interoperability of devices, services and
applications on an unprecedented scale. It provides the framework
for communication, connectivity and compatibility between otherwise
disparate products and services, and enables rapid integration and
deployment of innovative IoT solutions across domains, vendors,
devices, locations, and deployment strategies. Products and service
solutions on top of universAAL will be able to serve as a catalyst
for a truly customised lifestyle experience. <br>
<br>
Following many years and iterations as academic led R&I projects
[1], The universAAL IoT Coalition (uIC) is now being launched as a
public facing, open and non-profit international association in
Brussels in order to bridge the open source community of universAAL
<github.com/universAAL/> to the market. <br>
<br>
Six European organizations [2] are preparing everything for
registering the uIC by the end of October this year. In <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://cloud-ext.igd.fraunhofer.de/s/wqAhQaJKp322383">this
document</a> you will find their statements about the motivation
to take this step.<br>
<br>
The following extract from the uIC Statute summarizes the purpose,
vision and mission of the uIC:<br>
<blockquote><img src="cid:part3.6B5C8439.8703A48D@igd.fraunhofer.de"
alt="" class="" height="402" width="788"></blockquote>
The General Assembly of the founders has formed the uIC Directorate
with the following members in order to manage the activities of the
uIC in its startup phase:<br>
<blockquote>General Director: Mohammad-Reza (Saied) Tazari<br>
Regulatory Director: Sergio Guillen Barrionuevo<br>
Financial Director: María Fernanda Cabrera Umpiérrez<br>
Marketing Director: Bruno Jean-Bart<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
We invite you to get prepared for joining the uIC; related details
will be shared with you as soon as the legal steps for registering
the uIC in Brussels conclude. So, please stay in touch!<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>

[1] Two successive R&D projects, PERSONA (2007-2010) &
universAAL (2010-2013), and an innovation project, ReAAL
(2013-2016), that brought the evidence of universAAL applicability
in real life. <br>
