[Fiware-campusero] Proposal on challenges to be launch associated to FI-WARE/FI-LAB

[Davide Dalle Carbonare]

Dear Juanjo,
     the format sounds good to me, I think the first two challenges, for 
the first round are fine.
I wait for additional details especially regarding the final phase at 
Campus Party.

kind regards,
Davide
