Vodafone Organizational Changes and their Impact on OSW

[Daniel Appelquist]

Vodafone is extending it's Research & innovation initiatives in the US
and Asia and as a consequence will be consolidating its centres in
Europe. As a result, the research center in Maastricht (where the
OneSocialWeb team is currently based) is planned to close at the end
of September. The current plan is for the OSW team members based in
Maastricht to relocate to our Düsseldorf center to continue working on
the project but due to this move there's a good chance that the
existing project timelines will be impacted somewhat. Rest assured
that Vodafone R&D is fully committed to this project and the
developer community going forward. We'll keep you all in the loop on
any further updates.a

Apologies for the corporate tone of this message. Stuff like this can
be a sensitive issue and we are doing our best to be transparent about
it and to provide continuity for the project. Happy to answer any
questions on this on or off list. Thanks for your continued support.

Hi Dan,

as Laurent already said, thanks a lot for sharing the news - it's impacting your group for sure, but the community too
Best luck to all you who have to move: moving is a stress, so I wish to all of you that everything will go as smooth as possible!

Please keep us posted
