[Fiware-comms] Updates on ECFI2_Concept, programme and budget

[De-Lama Sanchez, Nuria]

Hi all,

Let me come back to you on the organization of ECFI2. So far I did not receive any comment or feedback. Apparently this has to be notified tomorrow morning at the latest.
Then, FI-WARE will not have the possibility to complain. Therefore please, have a look at my mail and the documents that I circulated (especially the agenda) and come back with your views on that.

Thanks in advance,

nuria

Dear colleagues from PCC
CC: Comms

Following my previous e-mail let me update you on some discussions happening in the Organizing committee of ECFI2, the FI PPP event that will be organized in September 2014 in Munich.
I am part of this OC in order to represent FI-WARE in the discussions and help in the organization; today I had my first long teleconference with them and I can already share some information with you.

Let me attach:

·         Concept of the event

·         Current version of the programme

·         Budget (please, keep it confidential)
All this was defined before I joined the OC. Now, I have "voice" in the group, and I would like to circulate some questions for which I would like to get a commonly agreed position:


·         Are we in favor of having a fee? This will probably be defined depending on the typology of organization or may be related to the attendance to different parts to ensure that this is not a barrier for SMEs. IMHO there should be a not-too-high fee to ensure that we avoid the no-shows, as it happened in ECFI1

·         As in ECFI1, FI-WARE is expected to contribute financially to the event. As you can see in the budget, the expected figure is 15.000 euro approx.

·         Check the current agenda. In the discussion today we talked about the possibility of including a slot devoted to FI-WARE and FI-LAB (FI-OPS?) before the Phase 3 session. The programme is so compressed that it is difficult to figure out how to accommodate more contents, but of course it is important that FI-WARE increases its visibility. Think on how to link this with winners of the next Campus Party and practical examples on how to successfully use FI-LAB.

·         It is also expected that FI-WARE sets up a booth, as in ECFI1, but we should focus on running demos

Please, send your comments and suggestions as soon as possible to me and not later than next week. I will inform the OC and will speed up the integration of our ideas into the process.

Best regards,
