[Fiware-mundus-committee] Preparation of the 3rd FIWARE Summit

[Jacques Magen (InterInnov)]

Dear Olaf,

Thank you for your suggestion. As I mentioned, the focus that is planned 
for the session/panel will be on showing progress towards pilot trials 
or at least the actual set-up of a node, paving the way for trials and 
deployment of FIWARE-based applications and services. At this stage we 
already have confirmation of guests from Senegal, China, Mexico (thanks 
to FIWARE Mexico), and we are investigating Japan and Canada. In the US, 
we are already planning to invite the winners of the GCTC Challenge to 
present their pilot trials (1 or 2 winners).

If Bill were to be invited, he would probably be more suitable for a 
session dedicated to smart cities, rather than this specific 
international session. Another option could be to have him as a special 
keynote, e.g. to explain how we could engage further with US cities in 
the future. We are also investigating with FIWARE Mexico how to do more 
beyond this specific international session. Ideas are of course welcome. 
If it makes sense we will organise a dedicated telco (beyond the Summit 
Programme Committee telco that are already held).

Concerning the potential reimbursement of expenses: we are checking this 
out with the Foundation and the Press Office. We fully agree with you 
that it would be good to have similar rules for all invited 
speakers/guests. We will be back shortly to the Mundus Committee members 
with a response on that issue, that should hopefully be consistent with 
the rules in general for the Summit.

Best regards,

Jacques
