[Fiware-foundation-info] Information from our US "partner" -for your feedback please

[Jose Gonzalez]

Good morning,

Anything related to Google sounds interesting a priori, at least for its 
potential. I have checked the website and their approach is oriented to 
an integrated platform with focus on urban solutions. Hence, I wouldn't 
say it can be compared to FIWARE.

Nonetheless, it would be quite interesting to find out which cities 
they're working with (I couldn't find it). This might bring side 
collaborations with communities we couldn't reach in an other way, as 
well as strengthening technical cooperation with US service providers.

My two cents,

Jose
