schestowitz | BIT & the mystery of the spaghetti structure | Apr 02 07:58 |
schestowitz | Dear colleagues, | Apr 02 07:58 |
schestowitz | Apr 02 07:58 | |
schestowitz | It is both disturbing and frustrating to read the note in which VP1 and VP4 complain about the tremendous responsibility they had to assume with regards to the “complexity of our IT systems with its ‘spaghetti structure‘ [sic]”. It took them more than two years to realise this, whilst this complexity is hardly a surprise to EPO staff who deal with operating processes. | Apr 02 07:58 |
schestowitz | Apr 02 07:58 | |
schestowitz | In this publication, we explain how the reorganisation of BIT, more than 100 ambitious projects and the removal of experienced staff mean that the ‘spaghetti structure’ is on the verge of collapse, despite massive budgets for the IT Roadmap. | Apr 02 07:58 |
schestowitz | Apr 02 07:58 | |
schestowitz | Being a manager is more than just a formal role. It is about accountability and responsibility, as well as acting in a sustainable way. And not leaving a pile of shambles while pointing the fingers at others. | Apr 02 07:58 |
schestowitz | Apr 02 07:58 | |
schestowitz | This is what the Organisation, the staff and the users have a right to expect. | Apr 02 07:58 |

-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.epo.org | EPO - Communication from the Enlarged Board of Appeal concerning case G 1/21 | Apr 02 17:26 | |
schestowitz | This is all fine and well except for two rather important points. The first point is that not even the advance publication of the Communication from the EBA mentions the date for submission of amicus briefs. However, this probably has something to do with the second point, which is that the official publication of the EBA's Communication will not take place until AFTER the date by which amicus briefs should be submitted. | Apr 02 17:26 |
schestowitz | I could perhaps accept that there is nothing suspicious about all of this ... were it not for the fact that the advance publication (which is notified to all those who subscribe to the EPO's newsletters) does not refer to the 24 March 2021 Communication from the EBA that contains the missing information (which Communication was NOT notified to the same subscribers). | Apr 02 17:26 |
schestowitz | Thus, by slightly delaying the official publication of the Communication from the EBA, the EPO has ensured that the subscribers to its newsletters are not (directly) informed of the date for submitting amicus briefs in connection with G 1/21. Whilst this will not prevent the filing of such briefs, it could (together with the very short deadline) reduce their number. I cannot help but think that this was precisely the reason for the | Apr 02 17:26 |
schestowitz | slight delay to the official publication. | Apr 02 17:27 |
