The again well-attended 4th Consortium Meeting of the DiYSE project, that took place at Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs on June 14 & 15, 2010 in Paris, hosted a true Demo Plaza, in which more than 10 demos were discussed 'hands-on' among the partners, as a first seeding of all the ingredients needed for demonstrating the DiYSE smart environment architecture and DiY creation process, ranging from sensor installation and various means of context aquisition, up to creation paradigms involving tangible interaction as planned to be validated in the project's user research and pilots.

The succesful 3rd DiYSE Consortium meeting, hosted by UPM and UAH in Madrid on February 9 & 10, made more than 50 participants gather around the DiYSE architectural framework and essential requirements sets, from infrastructure up to tangible user interaction, by cross-cutting the technical topics with an established set of scenarios, towards a plan for the first round of prototypes.

The DiYSE project was welcomed as a new member of the Cluster of European Research Projects on the Internet-of-Things (CERP-IoT), as of November 26, 2009. http://www.rfid-in-action.eu/cerp-iot
This will enable the project to collaborate further with many other projects in the Internet-of-Things space, and to contribute to the pan-European IoT research roadmap and vision.

In guided tours for invited representatives, and to many other vistors at the ITEA2 Symposium & Co-Summit with Artemis, the DIYSE team showed posters, a presentation and several state-of-the-art DiY electronics prototypes.

On September 29 and 30, 2009 the second DiYSE Consortium Meeting took place at Bell Labs, Alcatel-Lucent, Antwerp. Over 45 delegates shared material and contributed to the brainstorms in several parallel workshops and plenary sessions, on topics such as the DiYSE target scenarios, DiYSE potential business models, DiYSE tangible interaction interfaces and the DiYSE application creation methodology.

On March 4 & 5, 2009 the first DiYSE Consortium meeting was held in Antwerp.
The international team kicked off the project work with a presentation of the initial views of partners, work packages and countries on the project approach and scope. As energizing kick-off elements, we had a discussion on the DiYSE technical architectural ingredients and requirements, as well as an "out-of-the-box" creativity session around user value and meaning of the "DiY" notion.
