This document reviews the dissemination, collaboration and standardization ac- tivities of the StratusLab project at the end of Project Year 1 (May 2011) - with analysis of progress to date - and describes plans and mechanisms for future activities to improve the project's visibility and enhance external collaborations. Dissemination activities are progressing well. Project visibility is good, particularly within the DCI project community due to the dissemination efforts which encompass participation in events, engagement with related communities, a strong online presence, coverage in the press, and dissemination activities centred around the project results and software releases. Plans for Year 2 will proceed along similar lines with an increased focus on disseminating project results and on training. The project has developed collaborations with several related projects, having signed MoUs with two and developed draft MoU with three more. In Year 2 more of these collaborations will be formalised with MoUs, and the technical aspect of collaboration will increase. Standardization efforts to date have focussed on identifying relevant standards of which the project can make use, while in Year 2 more focus will be put on driving standardization.
