Dear all,
Today the first two of the four FI-WARE Challenges will be launched through all our social media channels and and FI-WARE channels . Smart Cities and Smart Business will be the first ones. You will receive today all the info related to the Challenges. We hope that social networks will be on fire after this huge launching. It is going to be contest with the highest prizes ever launched...
We think that the success of this Challenges action it is a huge opportunity to all the FI-WARE Consortium members to disseminate what is FI-WARE and arouse the interest of developers about FI-WARE in all the world. We are putting all of our best efforts to make it possible.
Amongs all the channels that we will use, the Consortium members could play also an important role. We hope and we willl request from you all of your support in this action.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation and I hope to see you in the Final that it will take place in Campus Party Brasil in Sao Paulo from January 26 to February 2nd. www. <http://www.campus-party.com.br> campus-party.com.br

Asunto: Re: [Fiware-campusero] Proposal on challenges to be launch associated to FI-WARE/FI-LAB
Dear Esther,
sorry to push again on this ... it's important for me to know if challenges have
been officially launched and relative details as far as I may have the possibility
to present them at an event in few weeks from now.

Dear Esther,
first of all, thank you for the work you're doing.
I would like to know if Smart Challenges have been officially launched in Santander and,
if yes, if is it possible to update the page of FI-WARE web site reporting the details
of these challenges.
thak you,
BR

Dear partners:
Thanks to all of you for sharing your views about the challenges. I understand them and I’d like to clarify the issue that Philipp is mentioning regarding the amount of time that involves to create a prototype “only” to participate in a challenge. As it is not something that is going to happen in the first phase -that consists on a call for ideas- only the 20 candidates of each challenge that pass to this next phase will have to develop such prototype. Then, this 20 candidates will have real possibilities to win the prize to finance their idea.
We have no more time to spend because we need to take the final decision. I attach a draft post with the information that would be published to launch the first two prizes (Smart Cities an Smart Business) that will be deeply defined in the registration page with the instructions and the legal basis. Maybe the post is useful for you to understand the idea better. Juanjo is working on the technical specifications of each challenge too, so it will be for help too.
Attending to your worries, I suggest to include in the description of eath challenge, as well as in the post, a mention about our aim regarding the start-ups creation, in order to clarify our objective and to define better the kind of projects that we look for (that is, proposals that may have a real impact while being feasible).
Please, send us additional comments before tomorrow evening. We'd like to take the opportunity to launch the challenges during the FI-WARE event in Santander this week, so we have to be very agile.
Thanks for all in advance :)

dear juanjo,
i perfectly agree with your answer, and exactly becouse of that, the
approach you explained should be better emphasised in the call for the
context.
i think also the idea of funnelling the proposals with an
intermediatery step is important and gives to the context the level of
attractiveness for smes that philipp is aiming at. again also this
should be well formalised and explained in the call for the context.
ciao,
stefano
