Dear FIWARE Community, We want to give a big thank you to all of you who were able to join us for the FIWARE Ideas Sprint, which took place during the previous Marketing Round-up Call. During the call, we divided the attendees into five groups, each with its own question (from events and opportunities-related questions, to how we can better help members to be more successful with FIWARE and in their respective domains). The result? Valuable inputs from the heart of our community. Know that we will be taking your feedback on board and use it to identify the areas where we can step up our game to help the FIWARE Community thrive to the best of its ability! We also hope you enjoy our brand new 'Sneak Preview' section that brings you news first-hand, an exclusive look behind the scenes of upcoming and ongoing activities, well ahead of their official publication.
