Board meeting
Today our board meeting took place. We have discussed the current situation and the next steps to setup the association and prepare the Interlift 2017.
NeXt group in Deutschland gegründet
Durch die stetig wachsenden Ansprüche der Verbraucher an die Austauschbarkeit von Geräten sind offene Schnittstellen heutzutage nicht mehr wegzudenken. Mit der Veröffentlichung von CANopen wurden die Vorteile standardisierter Schnittstellen sowohl bei Konsumenten als auch bei Herstellern bewusst und die Entwicklung hin zu offenen Schnittstellen schreitet auch in der Aufzugsindustrie voran.
NeXt group established in Germany
These days it seems everyone is talking about open interfaces and the consumers’ higher demands for interchangeability of devices. Ever since the first days of CANopen, consumers and manufacturers alike have seen the upside in working with open protocols – and it seems now that something is about to happen in that field.
First advertisement in LiftReport 2017-02

Collaboration
The partnership of the members is crucial for the success of the working groups. The members of the working groups commit themselves to cooperating with principles of openness, transparency and meritocracy.The tasks are organized in different Special Interest Groups (SIG). Every NXg SIG has a Maintainer and minimum three Contributors. The Maintainer is responsible for driving the vision and managing the aspects of the SIG. He may also be a hardware or software contributor of the SIG. A Contributor is everyone who has contributed something back to the project.
