[aaloa supporters] The launch of The universAAL IoT Coalition

[Mohammad-Reza (Saied) Tazari]

[[ with apologies for cross postings ]]

Dear fellow campaigners for AAL and IoT,

as most of you know, universAAL IoT <www.universaal.info> 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.

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.

Six European organizations [2] are preparing everything for registering 
the uIC by the end of October this year. In this document 
<https://cloud-ext.igd.fraunhofer.de/s/wqAhQaJKp322383> you will find 
their statements about the motivation to take this step.

The following extract from the uIC Statute summarizes the purpose, 
vision and mission of the uIC:

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:

    General Director: Mohammad-Reza (Saied) Tazari
    Regulatory Director: Sergio Guillen Barrionuevo
    Financial Director: María Fernanda Cabrera Umpiérrez
    Marketing Director: Bruno Jean-Bart


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!

Best regards,

(2010-2013), and an innovation project, ReAAL (2013-2016), that brought 
the evidence of universAAL applicability in real life.
