[Fiware-fiops-filab] Getting prepared for the Smart City Expo event

Dear Juanjo,

as there will be several people on behalf of XIFI rotating at the event 
and I imagine a few more from FI-WARE I think it's unavoidable we will 
end up speaking also about our projects or at least the work done in 
each project. But I agree with you that we should all be prepared to 
first of all push for the common offering.

So I would kindly ask you to circulate in this list as soon as possible 
whatever document, set of slides, brochure that already exist and that 
can help people to get prepared for the meeting. Basically anything 
which defines what FI-LAB and FI-OPS offering consist of and how they 
relate to each other and to the market offering we are pursuing.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Regards,
Monique
