TALQ Technical Work Group year's end sprint

Published on 2012-12-14

The TALQ Consortium’s Technical Work Group met this week in Great Chesterford, Essex, UK for a year’s end sprint. The more the work on the specification is progressing, the more detailed the discussions get. With many experts around the table there are also many points of view on how to resolve issues. Fortunately everyone understands the importance of the specification to enable the market development, and is willing to cooperate to find the best fitting solutions. It will require some more meetings before the draft specification can be submitted to the Steering Committee for approval. So having the advantage to meet again this year, shortly after the November meeting in Paris, was very welcome.

Telensa, the host of the meeting, organized a guided tour through Cambridge, showing the various colleges and laboratories of the University, as well as its characteristic street lighting fixtures. The guide told about scientific discoveries, but also more peculiar historic stories. Whether the science or the ghostly stories inspired the Technical Work Group members most remains to be seen. Anyhow, a lot of progress was made, so the payoff from this year’s last TALQ meeting was very positive!

The TALQ Consortium wishes you a
bright Holiday Season !
