[this might be a bit off-topic, so I apologize in advance - we can have a 
separate conversation on this]

>> In addition and in regards of the open Source Community for FIWARE, why 
to add a GE manage by another Open Source Community?

This is an excellent question. In fact, we may need to clarify the 
corresponding statement in the proposed governance model, currently 
stating:

Technical work within the FIWARE Chapters is intended to advance ICT 
technologies. Such advancement can be in the form of implementing brand 
new technologies, but also evolving/adapting existing technologies 
eventually starting from good available technologies even if produced from 
the outside of the FIWARE Community. In this respects good and mutual 
beneficial relationships with other relevant communities (e.g. OpenStack, 
Apache) are in scope of the FIWARE Mission. 

In cases when evolving existing technologies (originally developed by 
existing communities) is the best way to promote the FIWARE Mission, we 
need to be clear on the expected approach. In some cases the prefered 
approach might be to contribute to the original community, focusing on 
promoting things important for FIWARE, rather than maintaining our own 
"fork" of the code under FIWARE namespace in github. Then the role of the 
GE team within FIWARE might involve facilitatation between the two 
communities, contributions either upstream or downstream (on a case by 
case basis), support (also 'by proxy' in some cases), etc.
An alternative approach might be to say that FIWARE comprises (and 
governs) only things invented within the consortium (and hence there are 
no relevant existing communities to engage with). Frankly, I am not sure 
how sustainable such approach would be, given the enormous pace of 
innovation happening in the industry outside of FIWARE.
At the end, this boils down to the question 'what FIWARE is' and 'what 
FIWARE Reference Architecture' is. But maybe I am taking this to a too 
phyilosophic direction, and there are more pragmatic ways to address the 
related questions that may arise.

Regards,
Alex

Hi Alex,
 
I try to play the role of EC expecting to cut some budget for other 
activities?
 
For me Docker GE is anything more than just Docker and should provide and 
added value that you cannot find if you are just using the results from 
Docker Open Source community. There are also initiatives in Open Stack to 
include docker for Open Stack so introducing Docker GE should have an 
impact on the architecture (and this impact is not really clear at least 
for me but I?m not an expert in Docker) and not just using docker as a 
tool to propose a better user experience for deployment. 
Again, FIContent and Accelerators have used Docker without any Docker GE.
In addition and in regards of the open Source Community for FIWARE, why to 
add a GE manage by another Open Source Community?
 
For the second point on cloud GEs, my point is that if you explain that 
you can stop existing GE, for external people (and we have 3 new 
reviewers) the sustainability itself of FIWARE Lab could be in danger:
·       who will provide support for the existing GEs, 
·       how future integration will be managed by FIWARE Community? 
I think we have to explain how features from DCRM GE are already available 
in open Stack releases and in which components of Open Stack.Does cloud 
become more, for this part, a facility than an enabler?
We have already SMEs funded by accelerators which have installed some GEs 
in AWS or Google Cloud so they have somewhere demonstrated that current 
commercial offers could integrate some FIWARE GEs.
I fully understand the point on Object Storage but here also my question 
would be why has FIWARE to work on this issue? What is the status from 
Open Stack community point of view because if we expect to be aligned with 
them in 1 year, does FIWARE spend time on this part?

Thanks for your comments. 
Not sure I understand the distinction between introducing Docker GE and 
"use Docker directly". GE is a "building block of the FIWARE Reference 
Architecture, supporting reusable and commonly shared functions serving a 
multiplicity of use cases across various application domains". Docker 
runtime is certainly going to be a FIWARE building block supporting 
reusable and commonly shared functions serving a multiplicity of use cases 
across various application domains. Can you, please, clarify what is your 
concern in this regard? 

Alignment with OpenStack is something we did ~4 years ago, so there is not 
much news here to report on.. What has changed is that 'vanilla' OpenStack 
is now good enough to serve most of FIWARE IaaS needs. Does this mean that 
OpenStack does not need to be reflected in FIWARE Reference Architecture? 
No, we actually gradually increase the OpenStack adoption, but our 
development efforts are prioritized a bit differently. Notice that this is 
a FIWARE Cloud chapter perspective. How exactly the technology is being 
consumed by FIWARE Lab teams is an important but separate discussion. 
In general, the slide assumed that the audience is familiar with the 
situation and developments in FIWARE Cloud in the last 4 years, and the 
emphasis is on the delta (also given the time constraints). I can add an 
additional slide or two for reference, to make it more self-contained, 
potentially skipping them during the review. 

Thanks, 
Alex

Hi Alex, 
  
As explained on the phone yesterday morning, you should reinforce the 
added value of integrating Docker like a GE. I think it is better to 
include a dedicated slide for that, the one you have in your presentation 
yesterday. If you use just ?Docker GE? the question will be why not to use 
docker directly? 
  
Maybe you could also add a general comment on the alignement with current 
versions of Open Stack to justify to stop DCRM and that FIWARE might be 
sustainable.

I've uploaded a 1-slide presentation outlining the Cloud chapter refocus 
plan. Comments are welcome.

Hi All 
 
I have just uploaded a new version of the sustainability presentation. I 
have add the new recommendations for developers, an external view of Open 
Source licenses  (current landscape) and some open points about 
communication for the future FI-OSC.
