[Fiware-collaboration-request] FIWARE and the Creation of an Open Source Crowdfunding Administration Platform for European Funding Initiatives,

[Richard Kastelein]

Thanks Malena

That was a very politically safe response but to be expected. It should be
good enough to include in our proposal that we are exploring the use of
FIWARE in our plans for the future. I just wanted to ensure that you are
indeed open to working with new open source initiatives that are
successfully funded in the Horizon 2020 framework. In the event that we are
we will surely be in touch.

Best

Richard


Warm Regards
