 +
** build your own network connection systems
 +
** Quality management
 +
 +
== Discussing participation possibilities ==
 +
* Working together in Research projects is always possible
 +
** Eclipse can do dissemination here
 +
* Example OpenGenesis
 +
** at least 150 person days per member / 40000 Euro
 +
* Example openPASS
 +
** at least 100 person days
 +
* for participation you need to be at least Eclipse Solution member
 +
* Ralph explaining commons
 +
** clear vision
 +
** clear rules
 +
** progress monitoring
 +
** sanctions / conflict resolutions
 +
** self determination
 +
* SUMO as commons
 +
** needed: developers and funding
 +
** list of wanted features
 +
** do not ignore base funding / technical debt
 +
* sharing / common funding is the main goal
 +
* direct orders are still possible
 +
* funding is decided on year by year
 +
** should be enough to do some "real work"
 +
* for research orgs there is little access to free funding
 +
* still in incubation / setup phase
 +
* in the next few weeks decide on structure
 +
* after the incubation year decide how and whether the WG will continue
 +
 +
== Administrative Topics (meeting continues with fewer participants now in German) ==
 +
* Task for this year: Find a sustainable funding model
 +
* Wish: Have a successful Working group also after this one year
 +
* It is one of the tasks of the founding members to find more / new members especially to have more paying members than just Bosch
 +
** Aim: at least 1 (better 4) OEMs in the Working group
 +
** Ongoing talks with Daimler and VW
 +
** Wish: Every member should consider acting as a multiplicator for the WG. Every further member reduces the cost (or increases the benefit) for all.
 +
* TU Braunschweig Institut Fahrzeugtechnik:
 +
** Contribution rather in work hours, not money except for projects / public funding
 +
** The consortium does not only address the industry (and its money). Distribution of the workload is also an aim (this part is of interest to Prof. Friedrich)
 +
* SUMO is getting more sub-microscopic
 +
* Bosch: SUMO should be able to do more than fuel consumption, power train etc.
 +
** Put more emphasis on coupling simulators

 +
== Steering committee elections ==
 +
* Every participant member of the WG is member of the Steering committee and has one vote
 +
* Committers and guests cannot vote directly
 +
* Committers select two representatives which are members of the steering committee without voting rights
 +
** This selection process will be initiated by a mail to sumo-dev to find candidates and a subsequent election in the next two to four weeks.
 +
* Only committers can push to git repositories directly to ensure clean code and adherence to Eclipse regulations
 +
* Election chair of steering committee:
 +
** Single candidate: Robert Hilbrich
 +
** By unanimous vote: Robert is chair
 +
* Proposed change to charter:
 +
* Change duration to the range 13.5.19-12.5.20

* Frequency of Telcos/ Meetings:
 +
** Twice a year face to face (on different locations)
 +
** Proposal: Telcos at least monthly, in the beginning every two weeks, later less often
 +
** Proposal accepted

* Skype for Business Telcos provided by DLR

** Jira needs a license (maybe a cost free version is available) and has frequent updates with many changes in core functions but Vector already uses it
 +
** All three tools meet the basic needs

    • sanctions / conflict resolutions
    • self determination
  • SUMO as commons
    • needed: developers and funding
    • list of wanted features
    • do not ignore base funding / technical debt
  • sharing / common funding is the main goal
  • direct orders are still possible
  • funding is decided on year by year
    • should be enough to do some "real work"
  • for research orgs there is little access to free funding
  • still in incubation / setup phase
  • in the next few weeks decide on structure
  • after the incubation year decide how and whether the WG will continue

Administrative Topics (meeting continues with fewer participants now in German)

  • Task for this year: Find a sustainable funding model
  • Wish: Have a successful Working group also after this one year
  • It is one of the tasks of the founding members to find more / new members especially to have more paying members than just Bosch
    • Aim: at least 1 (better 4) OEMs in the Working group
    • Ongoing talks with Daimler and VW
    • Wish: Every member should consider acting as a multiplicator for the WG. Every further member reduces the cost (or increases the benefit) for all.
  • TU Braunschweig Institut Fahrzeugtechnik:
    • Contribution rather in work hours, not money except for projects / public funding
    • The consortium does not only address the industry (and its money). Distribution of the workload is also an aim (this part is of interest to Prof. Friedrich)
