OW2 Launch and Meetings in China (May 2007)
Introduction
End of May 2007, the OW2 Consortium was officially lauched in China during a meeting hosted by Beihang University and the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) of China. This launch was followed by a number of meetings and visits to Chinese Members and prospective Members to update them on OW2. As a result of these meetings we started working on a new Initiative, the Embedded Software Initiative and two new Members joined the Consortium: Intervision and TongTech.
Members of the Management Office participating in these meetings included: Cedric Thomas (OW2),
Emma SHU (CVIC SE), Julie Marguerite (THALES),
Cherry BIAN (CVIC SE). We are grateful to Stefano De Panfilis (ENGINEERING) and Grégory Lopez (THALES) who attended the launch and represented OW2 Members from Europe.

This
meeting represented the official launch of OW2 in China. It took place
within an event organized for the 863 program. There were two parts,
the first one was dedicated to OW2 and the second one to the
presentation of six incubators.
Thank you
to OW2 members attending: BUAA, CVIC-SE, DOCSC, Engineering, ISCAS, PKU
and THALES which, by their presence, demonstrated their support of the
consortium.
In a
follow-up discussion, Mr. WANG Chun Heng (MOST), Prof. HUAI Jinpeng
(BUAA) and Chairman JING Xinhai (CVIC SE) agree that a) it is necessary
to set-up a roadshow in China to explain OW2 and Open Source and b)
that case studies are an important and efficient way to demonstrate OW2
technologies are actually implemented by companies. CVIC SE will
provide at least one case study.
