Dear All,

First point I think here in Athens our FI-WARE/FI-LAB/FI-Ops coordinated 
efforts are running very well and smoothly. But in my opinion VERY 
IMPORTANT to react upon ASAP especially for you FI-WARE guys is an 
on-line article that appeared yesterday on Tech Crunch:

http://techcrunch.com/2014/03/18/why-is-the-european-commission-spending-e100m-on-a-pointless-hackathon/

Maybe you guys have already reacted, but I think the core message is to 
make sure there is a clearer understanding overall of how FI-WARE is 
being already deployed in real-world (various cities initiatives for 
instance) to provide the most convincing answer to the kind of "attacks" 
like this article is putting forward.

Then, as briefly discussed with Nuria here in Athens, I noticed that 
there is an ongoing EC project that has very similar graphics / flyers  
/ poster to what I've seen for some FI-WARE/FI-Lab material. You may 
want to check at:

Other than that I think here in Athens things are moving on very well.

cheers,
monique
