[Fiware-citysdk] IMPORTANT: CitySDK and FI-WARE in Horizon 2020

[Job Spierings]

Dear Juango,

We concur with Pekka on this - it is a very interesting research area, and we would prefer to follow up with later calls.

best wishes,

We have same deadline for several other proposals and this is so important step to take, that we wouldn't like to prepare a proposal in a rush. There will be fitting calls also later and then we are also much wiser to prepare excellent winning proposal after having implemented the FI-WARE - CitySDK "converters" during the spring and summer.

Not only looking forward a solution that may help cities supporting CitySDK APIs to join the smart cities ecosystem we are building on FI-Lab, but also looking forward a formula which may help to support a citySDK approach on top of FI-WARE as outlined in the slides shared in the following Google docs (slide 2):

The whole idea is that FI-WARE + City SDK can become a Smart City platform standard.

Would you consider it feasible ?   Could you involve someone from your organization ?   We may take care of the sections dealing with overall goals, approach, WP descriptions and implementation but it would be nice that someone could take care of sections dealing with impact and could also contribute to the initial sections.   An aswer would be needed along today, maximum tomorrow so that we can prepare development of a first draft of the WPs and organize a call begining of next week.

We would be happy to contribute in proposing a platform that helps to bring together CitySDK and FI-WARE and find the resources.
