[Fiware-ihubs-committee] Certification of FIWARE iHubs next steps and FIWARE Summit Agenda

[Angeles Tejado]

Dear FIWARE iHubs,

After our last MSC Conference Call, I'd like to share with you a summary.
Main info and next steps are gathered in this document here
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ElfQXs_MNsIMt0iM0XOJqc8arhVscTObZ5u1oRG45gE/edit?usp=sharing>.
The document must be considered as the basis for deeper discussion during
the next MSC meeting (FIWARE Summit Genova - Monday 20th, May) and it is
open for edition, comments, questions. It includes:

   - *Basic info on Certification - Principles *(to be discussed further in
   the MSC Meeting)
   - *Next steps - Certification Process*: we already finished the first
   round of exams and emailed to all candidates. Now we need to actions that
   must be done before the Summit (Application and Confirmation):
      - *Application: FIWARE iHubs who want to get labelled as "FIWARE
      Certification Centres" should send an application to the FIWARE
Foundation
      and they should provide the names of the current Certified Tech Experts
      within their organisation that would carry out such certification
      activities. They also have to provide the name of the
      Director/Representative of the Centre. (Please send your applications
      before 26th April) *completing* this form
      <https://forms.gle/cFbvFxLkRBgMYLyWA>.*
      - *Confirmation. *The FIWARE Foundation will confirm Certified Tech
      Experts Qualification before the Summit in Genova.
      - *Signature of Agreement*. The summary document includes the details
      of the Agreement that will be signed by the FIWARE Foundation and the
      person who acts as director of the FIWARE iHub. A *first draft of
      this agreement* will be shared with the MSC before the next meeting
      that will be held on Monday 20th, May.
      - Complete Certification
   - *Next Steps in Communications:*
      - The FIWARE Foundation will promote the *results of any iHub and
      related success stories at local level (stories from the city or from the
      local entrepreneur community). *Example: FIWARE adoption in Andalucía
      Region
      <https://ec.europa.eu/cefdigital/wiki/display/CEFDIGITAL/2019/04/02/Andalusia+Smart+Region+uses+Context+Broker+for+intelligent+irrigation+system>published
      in EC Europa CEF Digital. More details in the doc.
      - Template presentation to assess iHubs Activities and Services
- A common
       template
      <https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1zaF0VafuyssJA-iOU7Yn3THFgc-c0Qlf?usp=sharing>
      has been already created (just content). This will be the starting point
      for a presentation during the next FIWARE Summit (on Tuesday 21st) - The
      FF will provide with a basic template (designed) the 23rd/24th of April
      2019.
      - Confirmation of iHubs attending the FIWARE Summit - Please fill in
      the table provided in the summary with information requested. The
      recommended approach is to have a joint exhibition space for the
iHubs with
      more than one booth and maybe common branding. Currently just the FIWARE
      ihub in Netherlands booked a booth. Please let us know how many
of you will
      be interested in presenting your iHub and booking booths to
create a joint
      space. Those iHubs that are members of the FIWARE Foundation will get 50%
      discount. You can book your exhibition package by applying here

As I said, all this points are explained in the summary. Please contact

Evangelist Programme <https://www.fiware.org/community/evangelists/>. If we
have enough audience we will have a training session on how to present
