I think Stefano is right. In fact, from the beginning, our idea (from the side of Futura) for the second phase have been to organize a third challenge, more social, as "Smart Society" or "Smart for a better society" :) 2013/10/2 stefano de panfilis <stefano.depanfilis at eng.it> > dear juanjo, > > to me is not completely clear, although you say so, the difference between > smart cities and smart business. > what is smart business: making applications with high business impact? > what i mean is that the second should be the ultimate goal also for the > first and for the overall challange you have in mind for the last contest, > i.e. all the solutions proposed should have a good, i'd rather say the best > possible, usage of fi-ware technologies and also good marketability > proposing high innovative solutions. > > so if this is correct, i think for the first contest we have just one > topic. > > for the second i'd like to propose and this for young people could be > really interesting applications for ageing people. this is one of the most > social challenge we are going to face in the next coming years and the eyes > of the fi-ware community on this topic would be seen as a strong signal of > being from us in line with the current needs of the worl population. > > i think also an eye should be put on environment and society. > > my two cents. > > ciao, > stefano > > > > > > > > > 2013/10/1 Juanjo Hierro <jhierro at tid.es> > >> Hi all, >> >> Futura Networks will send an email with further details, but let me >> briefly describe what they have proposed and we need to approve this week. >> >> As you know, there were aprox. 870 K€ in prizes to be consumed until >> end of the proyect.

We would start launching two thematic >> challenges, one focused on Smart Cities and another one focused on Smart >> Businesses. >> >> The two challenges would be launched this week and we would define a >> deadline (mid November) to collect proposals.

In December we would select 20 proposals for each of the >> challenges and we will invite two people of each of the selected teams to >> travel to the Campus Party Brasil, early February 2014. >> >> The selected teams attending the Campus Party Brasil event will run a >> final there so that the final prizes are given away: >> >> - 1st prize: 75 K€ >> - 2nd prize: 40 K€ >> - third prize: 20 K€ >> - two additional special awards (e.g., "Young developer"): 5.000 € >> each >> >> >> During the Campus Party Brasil event we would launch the second round >> of challenges, targeted to be given away at the Campus Party Europe (most >> likely to take place in Spain during July 2014). A similar schema would >> be followed.

Another possibility is to find >> another two thematic challenges, or do a mix: run one thematic challenge >> and one "FI-WARE Excellenge Awards" (in this case, each with 145 K€ in >> prizes). >> >> Personally, I would go fo a single challenge on "FI-WARE Excellence >> Awards" with total 290 K€ in prizes, but your feedback is welcome. >> >> The launch of the first two challenges on Smart Cities and Smart >> Businesses (with 145 K€ in prizes each) look more clear to me and, since we >> are running a bit out of time, I would go for advertising them at the >> Campusero Community this Thursday 17:00 unless anyone has an objection. >> >> Cheers, >> >> -- Juanjo >> >> ------------- >> Product Development and Innovation (PDI) - Telefonica Digital >> website: www.tid.es >> email: jhierro at tid.es >> twitter: twitter.com/JuanjoHierro >> >> FI-WARE (European Future Internet Core Platform) Coordinator >> and Chief Architect >> >> FI-PPP Architecture Board chairman >> >> You can follow FI-WARE at: >> website: http://www.fi-ware.eu >> facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/FI-WARE/251366491587242 >> twitter: http://twitter.com/FIware >> linkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/groups/FIWARE-4239932 >> >> >> ------------------------------ >> >> Este mensaje se dirige exclusivamente a su destinatario.
