[Fiware-pcc] Conclssions review and porposals

[JOSE JIMENEZ DELGADO]

Dear Jesus

We have just received a first feedback from Arian on the results of the FI-WARE review which, I think, show we have been more successful in explaining to the reviewers the work done in the project during the last months. FI-WARE is now in the right track and we hope to demonstrate we can deliver results in the coming months.

As could be expected, one concern that keeps on appearing refers to the use of the FI-WARE generic enablers. We are, I think progressing in that direction but we fear that now, due to the design of the PPP programme we may enter a "Valley of Death", since many UA projects are going to be discontinued and the new UA will need a significant ramp up phase.

It would be very good if a procedure can be implemented to encourage the use of PPP GE to those UA projects that are not going to continue in phase 2. This procedure could also be applicable to some of the proposals not accepted in call 2, but which are interesting enough. The objective is again to provide them some support for continuation

Some suggestions that come to my mind now could be:

1.- Try to use some funding from phase 3, already, to encourage some UA projects to continue, even if not accepted, until they can become phase 3
2.- Try to encourage National authorities that those projects are continued perhaps as Eureka (Celtic) projects
3.- Suggest those projects to resubmit to other calls. To that purpose, it may be useful to suggest or propose to other units in charge of evaluating proposals that the use of PPP GE will be considered as a positive point related to IMPACT. This will be indeed true since they will become part of a larger community


As indicated to Arian, we shall do our best to use our funds for FI-WARE call 3 to that purpose (and even other funding we could move to that purpose) but it will be not enough without the support of the rest of the community

Thank you again for your support of FI-WARE and the PPP
