Hello friends.

I’m now facing a difficult task. I have to write enough material about our tests during SuperOp! 2007 to make this post interesting, and at the same time I have to keep the actual result and outcome secret, due to disclosure agreements. Let’s see how I do.

First of all, there was no scheduled test time dedicated to CSI (or VideoShare) during SuperOp! 2007. The testing we did was outside ordinary schedule. But still, we received lots of help from the fine people arranging this event, setting up environments, provisioning SIMs and so on. Thanks to everyone who helped out.

After having tested connectivity and server environments during Thursday evening, the actual testing began early Friday morning. A few hours later, we were forced to cut off, since networks were going down and plugs were being pulled. Nevertheless, we are happy with the outcome. We have tested according to the test specification, and we have some issues that should be addressed. Video has been sent, and video has been received.

Saturday morning we had our first F2F meeting. Finally. Due to some last minute changes, only five companies were represented. But we are still satisfied, we now have momentum. Several details were discussed regarding the test document, and we started planning a new test activity sometime during August/September. This time it will be an isolated CSI test activity. We will focus solely on the services that the group is involved in. Sweden or Israel seem to be hot candidates. Hope to see you all there!

All in all, it’s great to see the recognition we are gaining, after all our hard work. If we keep going like this, we are on our way to success. New companies are joining the group, and our liasons are welcomed by everyone. Hopefully, more test events will be reality soon, and we are also glancing at other features similar to CSI that we would like to bring into our group. Please join, you could be in for something good!

Take care!
