Dear Herman,

I believe that Federico Thomas, although he is not in the list of
subscribers of the OROCOS mailing list, is interested
to this EU supported project. I have already told
him your idea about OROCOS and a joint project with the IRI
would be a good opportunity for me to continue to work with you
and your group from Barcelona.

Please, let me know your opinion about this.

Ernesto
