Hi Juanjo,
Let's discuss this over the phone tomorrow. I understand your point on 
the common brand but at the same time we hate to have worked for 
nothing...! Maybe the leaflets and not the poster is a compromise but I 
want to have feedback from the others as well -but then on your poster 
FI-OPS shall appear as well and the link shall not be only to the 
FI-WARE web site (see what I mean?). Let's see how we can manage. And 
what I mean by "too much FI-WARE oriented" is that the design is the one 
from FI-WARE without any modifications -we should try and find a 
compromise which is also somewhat reminding the XIFI design (at least 
the colours I would say...?).
Best regards,
Jacques

>>>>>         can use to operate FI-WARE Instances (i.e., target
>>>>>         audience of FI-OPS are Platform Providers)
>>>>>       o FI-LAB is the cornerstone element of the open innovation

>>>>>       o FI-LAB is a FI-WARE Instance deployed over a number of

>>>>>         As such, is an example where FI-WARE and FI-OPS are put at

>>>>>             operating FI-LAB nodes in order to run their

>>>>>           + innovative solutions helping cities to manage their
>>>>>             services more efficiently (e.g., garbage collection,
>>>>>             furniture maintenance, etc)
>>>>>           + innovative application/services that can be delivered
>>>>>             to citizens (e.g., application that ease car driving
>>>>>             or usage of public transport in the city)
>>>>>           + portals/platform for publication of Open APIs and Open
>>>>>             Data that developers can use to develop applications
>>>>>       o The FI-OPS suite of tools will ease operation of a Smart
>>>>>         City platform based on FI-WARE technologies
>>>>>       o Cities can connect to FI-LAB putting their open data at
>>>>>         work within that space:
>>>>>           + Entrepreneurs can use the open data available in
>>>>>             FI-LAB to build innovation solutions and
>>>>>             application/services they can showcase to cities
>>>>>           + Cities can make a deal with entrepreneurs showcasing
>>>>>             the most interesting solutions or application/services
>>>>>       o By connecting to FI-LAB, cities can benefit from the

>>>>>

>>>>>   * what slogan will be used for FI-OPS (someone from XiFi as above)
