Dear Richard, I wish I could say more ;). Of course FIWARE is willing to work in OS initiatives and as much as possible and share/make available FIWARE resources, technology and GEs to all. FIWARE will open up the ecosystem to future contributions from external parties and following a set of governance rules, we will accept external contributions (Like Linux, Openstack, etc). More details on "how to" or what this implies are not yet ready to be disclosed (we are still internally setting up the Governance Model and FIWARE community rules) and since these are under internal discussion we cannot say more. Again, wishing you succeed!

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.

From FIWARE we are open to collaborate and promote the use of FIWARE platform http://www.fiware.org/ as much as possible. So, we cannot commit any resources but if you are willing to use FIWARE GEs http://catalogue.fiware.org/ you are more than welcome to do so. At this stage for your H2020 proposals we can't commit or compromise, it would be unfair as we can't really advise or do anything now. But of course if you succeed and need training in specific domain you can join us in our developers week (free of charge) or any other event where FIWARE is represented, you can get more information here: http://www.fiware.org/events/ We hope you succeed with your project.

Our main objective is to build an open-source crowdfunding administration system to administer obligations from entrepreneurs back to the crowdfunders, to distribute repayments of loans, to distribute capital from exit of shares and to have access to a detailed overview of portfolios. As an open source administrative solution CROWDOS will offer a modular solution for backend integration to both current open source and proprietary solutions in the market via code base and APIs. Standalone, it would have both a backend and frontend component where crowdfunding companies would access and use the former while investors could use that latter to consolidate and view their different investments across different platforms. The rapid rise in equity crowdfunding in Europe has led to enormous fragmentation in the market in terms of software with individual European crowdfunding companies primarily building proprietary versions of their platforms. This is not only duplicitous, it is also ineffective in terms of cost and sheer human resources besides that there is a lack of standardisation in terms of user experience for European investors and project owners who use these services. Making the shift from building proprietary software to building Open Source is new terrain for our company. It would be interesting to know if there's any kind of fit between the resources of FIWARE, in hardware, software and human resources (advisory) in helping us facilitate the project once funded. We have an ICT team in place, with a lot of experience in banking software which is well suited for the project, but we could use more advice on our Open Source strategy and how to ensure we move in the right direction in terms of making sure our CROWDOS platform can be well disseminated amongst those who perhaps want to build future crowdfunding platforms in Europe and ensure we are also using all the potential resources that exist - particularly in the H2020 realm. We are interested in further talks on potential collaboration in the future. Please advise on next steps.
