• Final report, sources

This document is meant as an internal draft for the project's Technical Report for Reporting Period 2. As such, it provides an overview of the project achievements, by objectives, work packages, and tasks from March 2017 to August 2018, and their impact. It also explains how reviewer's recommendations were tackled and discusses risk and quality management and deviations from the original plan.
We recommend to read directly the technical report itself.

I left a comment in #193 about fixing the title as well in the grant agreement.

@nthiery I have updated WP6 to this report period.

My understanding is that the report is to be read cummulatively, and that I do not have to delete past achievements.

I am now looking over the other parts of the document.

@nthiery
In 2.1. I see The following people were hired in the past year: and then the table shows hiring from 2015 and so on.
I am not sure that to do. I have hired

• Theresa Pollinger: October 2017 - May 2018
• Tom Wiesing: September 2017 -
• Florian Rabe: December 2017 -

and I will hire

• Katja Bercic: November 2018 -

As long as there is a clear distinction between past achievements and achievements for this reporting period, and if that contributes to the overall understanding, that's all good!

I am now looking over the other parts of the document.

Thanks!

Hmm, good catch. We definitely should separate hiring from RP1 and RP2. And possibly remove the former. If you could start a first draft of this (especially for the information you have) that would be great, and I'll finalize.

[kohlhase]

I have done that; highlighting Florian's joint appointment.

But someone will have to read the general text carefully and update all the little things.
I will not have time to do that unfortunately.

Great, thanks Michael,

Yeah ... that's on me ... Luckily, that's the internal report; we will be able to do further polishing for the full technical report due one month from now.

I have started carefully going over this report again, and I have pushed the first results of this. I have

• reorganized the sectioning of the report to save on nesting depth and make reading easier (especially in the WPs)
• I have moved the sections into their own (included) files.
• I am leaving lots of ednotes and oldparts, where I have the feeling, the text is not updated yet.
  All in all, there is still considerable work to do on this deliverable (boring as it is).

[kohlhase]

I will continue doing this all of today.

[nthiery]

Thank you Michael; I really really appreciate this. With Benoit away
and all the rest, I am in submarine mode and this plugs a serious
breach: this deliverable was meant as a draft for our periodic technical report
(due October 10th!) and I never got to finalize it. So let's just work on it
as our final technical report, and submit both on October 10th.

@VivianePons, @defeo, @minrk, @ClementPernet, please check on Michael's ednotes and fill them in!

[nthiery]

About the overall structure: you may want to double check on the template
and our previous report

[kohlhase]

Wow, that is quite different to the current structure (which I only changed marginally).
I will have a look how to best adapt that.

[kohlhase]

I have adapted the structure of the report (the ToC is now correct) and will continue later.

Accepted by the EU on December 5th.
