Hi Sandor,

Great then, I just sent a calendar invite for Wed 14-15 CET (which seems 
to be same as Irish time, and one hour earlier than Budapest time).

Is our Skype bridge OK for you?

Thanks,

Cristian

Hi Cristian,

We can also meet this week. I'm available 14-15 or 15-16 CET on 
Wednesday, or 9-10 or 10-11 CET on Thursday. Meeting on Wednesday has 
the benefit that  Mate and other guys from the compiler developer team 
can also join us.

Looking forward to receiving your reply.

Best,
Sandor

    Thanks, Sandor. We should definitely meet next week once Gergely is
    back, just wondering if we could meet this week to ask a few basic
    question on how the ELTE P4 compiler works? This should not be news
    to Gergely, and it would be good to burn it out this week. Is this
    OK with you?

    Regards,

    Cristian

    Hi Cristian,

    Unfortunately, Gergely is out of office this week and he will be
    back on next Monday. However, Mate and I are available for a short
    skype call even this week.

    Best,
    Sandor

        Hi Sandor, Mate, Gergely,

        A collaboration around P4 is still very interesting for us from
        the perspective of building on optimized SW switch back-end that
        is programmable through P4 front-end, and we have a few ideas on
        how we could collaborate.

        Are you guys available for a discussion next week?

        Regards,

        Cristian

        Dear Cristian,

        sorry for the delay, but it was difficult to see what we can do,
        since the rules in EIT changes year by year. According to the
        information I got, it is not possible to include Intel with
        allocated budget into the EIT. The only option if Intel joins
        EIT Digital again. Subgranting (I think this is the option for
        3rd parties) can only be used to support SMEs and start-ups, so
        currently we cannot use this way of funding. From other
        perspective EIT requires us to include a sustainability plan
        (basically we have to specify how to share the profit of the
        project with EIT Digital and they require exact numbers) that
        posses many challenges to address. If you have any better news,
        please do not hesitate to share with us. Of course, we will
        share the proposal text with you and we can keep you informed
        about it's status. We can also say that Intel supports the
        project, but tasks can only be assigned to partners getting EIT
        funding.

        Besides EIT there may be other - more research oriented -
        opportunities in the future where we can launch a joint project.
        Anyway, we continue the work on our P4 compiler and try to be
        active in P4 community.  Since one of the platform we focus on
        is Intel x86, we would be very happy to collaborate with you -
        of course if you are also interested in P4 and our research.
        FPGA-based direction seems also a very interesting direction and
        I can also try to hire a new PhD student with a related research
        topic.

        Keep in touch!

        Best,
        Sandor

            Hi guys,

            The May deadline for project submission is fast approaching.
            Given that Intel is not member of EIT digital, is a joint
            submission still possible?

            Regards,

            Hi Sandor,

            Yes, we have checked internally with Dermot and we can also
            confirm our understanding matches yours: Intel in currently
            not a member of EIT Digital, therefore not able to submit
            projects, not eligible for funding, but might participate to
            an EIT Digital as 3^rd party.

            We need to meet and explore the options for going further
            with/without EIT project.

            Regards,

            Cristian

            Hi Cristian,

            Sorry for the delay, but I was traveling these days. Have
            you managed to get information about the standpoint of Intel
            about EIT Digital from Dermot Honan?
            Here you can find his contact information: +353 1 6067271,
            dermot.e.honan at intel.com <mailto:dermot.e.honan at intel.com>

            Meanwhile, I was asking the London node about the
            participation of Intel in this program, and I have just got
            a more clear answer from the director of the London node.
            Accordingly, Intel left EIT Digital some times ago and thus
            it is not eligible for EIT funding in EIT Digital projects
            anymore. It makes the collaboration within EIT more
            complicated. Since we are still in time, I also asked the
            office of Budapest node about the possibilities to involve
            you (e.g. as a third party), but it would be good if you can
            also ask e.g. Dermot about it in parallel.

            According to these bad news, it may happen that we cannot
            make this project in EIT Digital together, but we can also
            consider other possibilities to collaborate if you are
            interested in P4 and related things.

            I will also answer your questions below, but first I would
            like to clearly see how we can move forward in the
            administrative jungle of EIT.

            Thank you in advance!

            Best,
            Sandor

                Hi Sandor,

                As we are working internally to better understand the
                EIT opportunity, define the potential project tasks, get
                resources, etc we came up with some questions, can you
                please help us to clarify them?

                1.Project scope: What is the level of detail that we
                have to use to describe the project scope as part of the
                project submission?

                a.Is high level specification of project scope enough to
                get the submission accepted, or should be define the
                project scope in great detail?

                b.Is there flexibility to add changes to the project
                scope after the project submission? Can we alter the
                project course based on our findings during the
                implementation phase or based on business priorities at
                the time?

                2.Deliverables: Do we need to commit on specific list of
                project deliverables?

                a.What is the level of detail to specify deliverables?

                b.Any flexibility in post-submission updates based on
                technical findings or business priorities?

                3.Project resources: do we need to commit project
                resources upfront?

                a.Which resources have to be committed upfront?
                Resources for consideration: developers, computers,
                other equipment, etc.

                4.Deliverable ownership: Who owns the project
                deliverables, is it EIT or the project partners?

                a.Are the project partners allowed to retain the
                ownership of the SW?

                b.Is open source SW allowed as opposed to EIT proprietary?

                5.Funding from EU: Is EIT providing funding for the project?

                a.What is the order of magnitude?

                b.How it this shared between partners?

                6.Do you have some examples of successful project
                submissions that we can take a look at?

                Thanks for your help!
