All,
Dmitry has now delivered what he believes to be the final set of updates to
Sightline in support of this project. Sightline is in the process of
testing these deliverables and we expect that the results will be at or
close to what was expected. If there are still gaps, we will of course work
to close them.
As of today, there are still 13.5 hours of Dmitry's time left available
under the most recent contract extension. This should provide adequate time
for any consultation needed and any updates and/or final tuning necessary.
I have attached a brief report on that burn to this email. Steve, I will
send you a more detailed version that you can share inside Sightline as
needed.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
While I will continue to be in touch as we close down the project, I want
to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved for all their work. I
am confident I speak for all of us at Linaro when I say I hope we have the
opportunity to work with Sightline Applications again in the future.
Kind regards,
Paul

Hello All,
Over the past few weeks Dmitry made significant progress. We have asked
him to focus his time and efforts almost exclusively on your work in order
to complete all of what we agreed upon. During this push he has nearly
completed the work with the Kryo and SPM regulators. Once those are done,
he will complete the overall work by tying everything into the CPR3 driver.
This last push has consumed the remaining engineering time on the second PO
you authorized, and we have not yet completed the work at hand. I've worked
with Dmitry to get the best estimate possible on what it will take to
complete the work, and we are looking at 8 engineering days. At the rate of
$2,000 per day, that is an additional $16,000. Given that I have not
expended all the PM time authorized in the two agreements already reached,
I do not believe any more budget for project management will be necessary.
I know this is the second time we have come back after exhausting our
estimates, and I can only apologize for that. Several items have turned out
to be more complex than we had anticipated. But we are now very confident
that we have an accurate estimate on the last push to complete the work for
you. We understand how important this work is to your product line, and we
are dedicated to getting the work completed at a high level of quality and
in a way that will support your business.
Please let me know if you wish to continue with the work, and we will send
an additional extension request for approval. Terms would be paid in 30
days as before, with work to resume immediately. I believe we should have
another meeting to discuss where we go from here and the options for
completing the work. I suggest 9:00 PDT on Tuesday, 11 October (5:00 pm
BST, 6:00pm CET). Please let me know if that works for you, and if it does
not when would be a good time.
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Paul Neuhardt
