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

[Esther Paniagua]

Hi all,

I'm Esther Paniagua, coordinator of Campus Labs at Futura Networks.

I'm attaching a post that we've prepared for the launching of the two first
challenges, that may be of help to understand the process.

Thanks!
