[Fiware-pcc] Support letters

Hi Stefano and all.
I am writing this email wearing my CloudWave hat.. as well as a FI-Ware 
PCC member.

FI-Ware is a central project in the European R&D arena. Therefore it is 
understandable that other project initiatives are influenced by it.

In the case of CloudWave, we  purposely selected "Open Stack" the cloud 
infrastructure technology as the virtualization and storage foundation, 
because this is the same cloud infrastructure technology which FI-Ware is 
using.

It goes without saying that all contributions of CloudWave (if accepted) 
to the Open Stack package can be also used by FI-Ware. That would be a 
successful point of exploitation for CloudWave, and we would like it a lot 
to happen. To some degree we can control it because IBM is also the leader 
of cloud hosting in FI-Ware.

However, I think it is not appropriate to demand that CloudWave (or the 
other projects) will dedicate task and resources to "Developing Code for 
FI-Ware" in exchange for a letter of support.  Even when a standards 
organization provides a letter of support, they do not condition their 
support on resource allocation. These kind of collaborations are most 
successful when they are based on mutual interest, not on written 
obligations.

Regards
-Yaron

dear pepe and all,

honestly this is little bit strange. i do understand we (fi-ware) are a 
"powerfull organisation", but what does it mean our endorsement/letter of 
support?

i think we can do that only if the project commit to build a/some generic 
enabler/s in line with the fi-ware architectural principles, otherwise i 
do not understand the meaning and the reason for our support.

basically, my concern is that we are not a sort of standardisation body, 
but a project which committs to deliver and deploy working software for 
the benefit of the wide fi community at its end.

if the projects provide such committment (this means clear effort and task 
dedicated) than i'm very much in favour to support them with a letter.

ciao,
stefano

Asunto: RE: [Fiware-pcc] Support letters
 
I understand there is no problem in supporting the Projects if they go in 
line with FI-WARE.
 
However it would be good to have the text of the letter so that we can 
check the commitment expressed there and be aware of the kind of support 
we are providing. Of course we trust you to make such an assessment, since 
we do not have information about the proposals to evaluate such alignment. 
Thanks!

Dear PCC
 
We have received request from several proposals to send them a support 
letter 
 
1.- ETRA for a project on TRISTAN (TRustworthy, Interoperable and Secure 
Technologies and Architecture for heterogeneous Networked, service and 
computing environments)
 
2.- FIRE-limits ?Exploring the limits of the Internet using FIRE 
facilities? lead by Alcatel
 
3.- CloudWave.  feedback-based self-adaptation methods for cloud apps lead 
by IBM
 
 
All projects seems to me very much in line with FIWARE objectives and I 
think we should proceed with the letters. If you think we should not send 
the letters or should ask for more information and details, please tell 
me.
