+ <h1>MOWGLI Kick-Off</h1>
+ <h2>VENUE</h2>
+ <p>The meeting will be held on Friday, 15 March 2002 at the
+ <a href="http://www.aei-potsdam.mpg.de">Max Planck
+ Institute for Gravitational Physics / Albert Einstein Institute</a>
+ in Golm near Potsdam. The institute can
+ be easily reached from Berlin via public transport or car. Please check
+ <a href="http://www.aei-potsdam.mpg.de/people/directions">our institute's
+ homepage</a> for maps and information how to reach the institute from
+ several destinations in Berlin.</p>
+
+ <h2>ACCOMODATION</h2>
+ <p>Accomodation can be arranged in a hotel nearby, within walking distance
+ from the institute (singles 62 Euro, doubles 86 Euro). Since the
+ reservation needs to be made very soon, please let me know how many
+ people are attending from your node, indicating day of arrival and day
+ of departure. A copy of this message should be sent to
+ <a href="mailto:ute@aei-potsdam.mpg.de">Mrs. Ute
+ Schlichting</a>, who is taking care of the
+ reservations. However, if you prefer to organize a stay in Berlin, you
+ may want to refer to one of the following links</p>

+
+ <h2>AGENDA & SOCIAL EVENTS</h2>
+ <p>The agenda for the meeting is currently in preparation. Of course,
+ suggestions are very welcome. The current tentative agenda is:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li><span style="font-weight: bold">short presentation of the partners
+ (15 m. each).</span></li>
+ <li><span style="font-weight: bold">Consortium Agreement.</span>
+ I will send you a draft asap, and we may
+ discuss possible amendments by email; it would be nice to have it
+ signed for the kick-off.
+ This point should take almost no time, unless there are major
+ issue - e.g on copyrights or background proprietary technologies
+ which have not been solved by email)</li>
+ <li><span style="font-weight: bold">Project Roles and Bodies.</span>
+ We should define
+ <ol>
+ <li>Roles:
+ <ul>
+ <li>Project Manager (that should be Prof. Andrea Asperti)</li>
+ <li>Eploitation and Dissemination Manager (that should be Bernd)</li>
+ <li>Work-package leaders (the leader should belong to the site
+ responsible of the Work-package)</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>Bodies:
+ <ul>
+ <li>Project Coordination Committee (PCC) one for each site + the
+ Project Manager (and the EDM ?)</li>
+ <li>Project Dissemination Board
+ one for each site + the EDM (and the PM?)</li>
+ <li>Workpackage teams (even for WP0)</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ </ol>
+ We can fix all the roles by email, if you agree. We shall set
+ up specialized mailing lists for each body (if required).
+ Of course the roles may largely overlap, but in any case we need
+ people who can promtly react. You may already start sending me the
+ relevant information (comprising email, telephone, etc.).</li>
+ <li><span style="font-weight: bold">Scheduling and location of the first
+ and the second meeting.</span>
+ The second meeting (and annual review) should be in Bologna
+ from February 19 to February 20 (just after MKM 2003).
+ Since KUN is responsible for WP1, I would suggest to do the
+ first meeting in Nijmegen (july/august)</li>
+ <li><span style="font-weight: bold">Deliverables for the first six
+ months.</span>
+ We have three kinds of deliverables:
+ <ol>
+ <li><span style="font-weight: bold">Technical:</span>
+ 1.a, 1.b, 1.c, 2.a (1.3 should be ready at month 3).<br />
+
+ The only software here is the exportation module 2.a (that will
+ require some joint effort between Bologna and Rocquencourt and
+ a sufficiently stable version of COQ). This is a point to be
+ discussed in the kick-off.</li>
+ <li><span style="font-weight: bold">Managemant:</span>
+ 0.a (self assesment parameters and criteria)</li>
+ <li><span style="font-weight: bold">Dissemination:</span>
+ 7.a (Dissemination and use plan).</li>
+ </ol>
+ I would expect each site responsible for the deliverable suggest
+ a procedure and a precise scheduling for collecting material,
+ distributing the work and preparing the draft.
+ The draft should be ready some time (15 days?) before the deadline,
+ to get approval by the PCC.
+ We should also probably agree on the format of these deliverables
+ (e.g. LaTeX).
+
+ Any other technical issue relative to the preparation of these
+ deliverables should be discussed during the Kick-off.</li>
+ <li><span style="font-weight: bold">MOWGLI web site.</span>
+ We are setting up the MOWGLI web site and a CVS repository.
+ We plan to have a first prototype for the kick-off, and we may discuss
+ its design and functionalities there. We could possibly need a few
+ administrative document to grant you an access to the CVS repository
+ (we have to check).</li>
+ <li><span style="font-weight: bold">Other?</span></li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <h2>TECHNICAL FACILITIES</h2>
+ <p>Full network access is provided, as well as the usual presentation
+ facilities (Video Projector, Overhead projector).</p>
