Hi Soenke,
depends what you have in mind when asking “also work with”. I was head of a Inria team between 2006 and 2013, I know a bunch of colleagues at Inria on their different sites (Paris, Nice, etc.). What team/people do you work with?
Hi BlackForestBoi,
I see. UB did endorse the fund management for opencare, a project we were involed in with EdegRyders. The management itself was two headed with myself and Alberto, which made sense since the vision was ER’s while UB had the manpower and admin experience to run the funds and in a sense reassure the EC.
That being said, I won’t personally be able to act as coordinator for this project as I actually am appointed as Vice-President at our University. I can ask a colleague whether he would be willing. I presume he would only jump in if he knows he’ll get backed up by someone who’s involved in designing the project.
I’ll come back to you after I see my colleague.

You mean backed in doing the admin work by someone from the other consortium members?
In any case I think it would be wise to hire someone from the money we get to support with that work, and get the person/team the support they need from the other consortium members. I wouldn’t want anyone to be solely responsible for that kind of bureaucracy. I’m certain we’ll figure something out where everyone feels good with.

Seems like a lot of work already 
I’ll come back to you after I see my colleague.
Great thanks!
Hi all! For those I still didn’t get the chance to work with - I’m the research coordinator at Edgeryders and I’ll be joining you for the calls, mainly to keep track of the development of the application and also to help with anything if needed now, or in the later stage of writing the proposal. Looking forward and talk to you soon!

to make the intention clear here: Of course the entire consortium will support anyone with what it takes to stem the admin & bureaucratic burden and set everything up smoothly. This will be a team effort.

Hi, fairkom is part of a network of IT solution providers with a focus on sustainability. We offer open source based web services such as fairchat, fairmeeting, faircloud or board.net. We help organisations and companies to avoid having their data hosted at the big five cloud providers. We are organized as a partner network and put all surplus into open standards, FLOSS and commons projects. Yet we also do a lot of consulting, helping our customers to migrate and be happy with FLOSS solutions. We did have experience with large EC funded projects, also in the role of a coordinator, but not recently. We are also involved in several social design projects, that aim at a more fair economy, such as Fair.Coop. We would love to share our experience in various roles, as a facilitator, incubator or even as an active consortium member. Our bookkeeping and controlling is in-house and based on the Open Source tool ERPnext, which would easily allow to manage also larger funds. We do have accounting people in our team, but our not-for-profit organisation might be too small when it comes to an eligibility check for the organisational partner role.
EDIT: I will get in touch with Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences regarding the organisational role.

@melancon Hi Guy, Brigitte Trousse and I are both involved in getting enoll.org’s taskforce “social impact of ai” off the ground, and I think coop between inria and ai research orgs in Germany (I am also affiliated at dfki.de) will expand so I would love to link my role in this emerging proposal to this franco-german coop dynamic somehow as well. Or at least see what linkages there are, better understand them. We live on the border and work with regional colleagues also on ai projects and so I am curious about what part of all of this might also become part of this very local, very concrete cross-border exchange.

Copy that.
@BlackForestBoi Hi Oliver, is there an update re potential coordinator? If there isn’t one by the end of this week I fear it might not be possible to submit.
Hey Soenke
we have 2 more leads that could work out, but yeah it does not look good so far.
@melancon Any news from your side?
News from my side, I opened a new Google Doc with a cleaner version of the proposal we can use to send around, and continuously can now extend with finished sections coming in.
I copied the TODOs section over to the working copy proposal (the old one). Any comments are welcome, especially on the items of “other todos”
I can also bring in IDSIA if wanted. Let me know it.
