I will come back to this on Monday, but I forward the information In case you can react earlier than me and anticipate some information. The most urgent things is for me to provide (see the full text of the e-mail below): * HIGH DEFINITION LOGO of your project in electronic version, preferably in vector format. * prepare ONE POSTER of your demonstration and ANOTHER of the project itself, following the template attached - and send an electronic copy to your PO, CCing me. You are requested to print them out (format A1) and bring them with you to the event. We have to kick off the preparation of all this, since we have both the session and the booth and FIA will happen already in March!!!!

First of all, note that due to space restrictions we had to reduce the size of the booths from what some projects had requested. All your projects will get in the end a 2mx2m booth for PROJECT DEMONSTRATIONS only. Booths come with side and back walls, a 1,8m long x 45cm wide table with cover. You can plan to stick posters in the booth walls. Each booth will be equipped with one 32" flat-screen TV, two power-plugs and one Ethernet plug. BUT... you have to bring your own cables (USB, HDMI, VGA), as well as your own power extensions. Let me know URGENTLY if you do require additional Flat-screen TVs, given the size of your booth. In that case, I will put you in contact with the exhibition company. You are asked to send me, the latest by 13 February EOB, a HIGH DEFINITION LOGO of your project in electronic version, preferably in vector format. Please prepare ONE POSTER of your demonstration and ANOTHER of the project itself, following the template attached - and send an electronic copy to your PO, CCing me. You are requested to print them out (format A1) and bring them with you to the event. The booths will be available for installation Tuesday morning. We will send you the contact at the Venue if you want to send equipment and/or material ahead of you. Note, however, that this service will only be available from Monday, 17 March. I remain at your disposal if you have any questions.

For this purpose, I have setup the following doodle poll. You have to cast what of the different statements in the columns better reflect your position before Wednesday EOB: http://doodle.com/3qk3rn5afh6vne39 Essentially you can choose between three options: * OPTION 1: I can live with the extension provided that deliverables are delayed 4 months. * OPTION 2: I can live with the extension provided that I can finish my contributions to deliverables as originally planned so no significant contributions are expected from us after month 36 other than the support described in the FI-PPP Collaboration Agreement. My coordination role will be taken over by other after month 36. * I object to any kind of extension Note that extension of the duration of the project will not be accompanied by any extension of the funding. We have discussed this issue extensively, so we believe that the deadline is not so tight.

The whole purpose is to direct efforts to parts which will/do contribute to the ultimate success of the PPP, and to move FI-WARE into FI-PPP phase 3 mode. I'm not a fortune teller, but - based on the previous review report and other indications - I could imagine the following: ? Support, dissemination, and training will indeed be essential, as well as cooperation with XIFI, expansion, sustainability, and hand-over to the TFE project. ? Certain GEi developments will be stopped. Some of them might be started again, but in a different fashion and with a different owner, or using a competition approach. ? GERIs/GEis should be properly packaged and made publicly available, including documentation, manuals, videos, tutorials, etc. Focus on supportive materials, focus on making GE implementations usable. ? GE REFERENCE implementations, and not just GEis, should be developed. We need to move towards true reference implementations of open specifications. Appropriate processes need to be put in place for third parties to comment on and influence the specifications, and for third parties to cross-reference a GERI and its GE specification. The GERIs should document how the specification was interpreted via implementation decisions. ? Related to the point above, GE validation, including redress, by third parties (incl phase 2 projects) need proper processes and mechanisms (see page 4, review report). ? In addition, mechanisms need to be put in place for truly OPEN (and not just public) specifications (see page 5 review report) ? Prioritisation of GEs (see review report page 5) and consequences. This should be presented at the review meeting on Dec 18. ? Clarity on status: cockpit, Catalogue Testbed, FI-LAB, GE + GEi status and planning was and is still unclear. The cockpit is not up-to-date, partners start developing "components", "optional extensions" (what are those?), etc. It is impossible to get a good overview. ? Continuation of exploitation activities including clarification of T&Cs. ? Increased focus in year 3 on dissemination, contests, Startup Weekends, etc. This should be presented in the review meeting. ? Expansion towards smart cities and internationally: what is planned and what can be achieved at the end of the project? Also to be presented at the review meeting. ? Increasing support to phase 2 projects and third parties, where needed 2) For the majority of the work in a specific GE, yes. But I understand GE specifications and implementations are living artefacts. Therefore, it would seem logical to me that support, modifications based on feedback, etc continue until the end of the project. It cannot be that feedback from use case projects is ignored because it came at month 34. 3) That does not make sense to me. It should be month 40. Of course, if partners think they can have their contribution at month 36, they can obviously send it to the WP leader at month 36. 4) Yes 5) Yes Best regards, Arian. From: Juanjo Hierro [mailto:jhierro at tid.es] Sent: Saturday, November 02, 2013 1:39 PM To: ZWEGERS Arian (CNECT) Cc: jhierro >> "Juan J. Hierro" Subject: FI-WARE Project extension Dear Arian, As already commented to Jesus and you, we have opened a thread of discussion within FI-WARE about an extension of 4 months to the project in line with the recommendation given in the last review report. In order to give a definitive answer, some partners are asking for some elaborated answer to the following questions: 1. What kind of activities are foreseen during the extended period ? Would they only be related to support, dissemination and training ? 2. Will a given FI-WARE GEi owner be able to chose between a) closing its contribution to FI-WARE GE Open Specifications and its FI-WARE GEi development activities as already planned in the DoW (i.e., delivering updated GE Open Specifications as well as GEi software, testing plans and related documentation in month 33, that is end of January) or b) delay them to be in month 36 ? Ability to choose would be certainly useful, because some GEi owners can adapt to the extension provided that a delay in deliverables is approved, while others can live with the extension but provided that they can close their activities in the dates originally planned in the DoW. Telefonica, as coordinator, doesn't see any problem allowing a partner to close its activities as planned in the DoW. Just to avoid any burden we most probably would submit all the mentioned deliverables in month 36 (despite some partners would submit them internally at month 33) 3. Could month 36 be preserved as the date for submission of deliverables in WP11 (exploitation) ? 4. Could month 40 be defined as the date for submission of deliverables linked to WP12 (communication, collaboration and dissemination) ? 5. Can partners assuming a WPL or WPA role discontinue that role in month 36 if another partner is ready to take over their role until the end of the project ? Could you please answer these questions ? This and any other information that may be helpful to understand what the extension will mean in terms of workload would be certainly helpful to reach an agreement within the consortia as we would love to during this upcoming week.

The results of the analysis of the financial statement are detailed in the attached financial statement acceptance forms. In summary a payment of 11.981.989 EUR will be made. We wish to draw your attention to the following: * According to Article II.22 of the grant agreement, the Commission may, at any time during the implementation of the project and up to five years after the end of the project, arrange for financial audits to be carried out, by external auditors, or by the Commission services themselves including OLAF. * According to Article II.23 of the grant agreement, the Commission may initiate a technical audit or review at any time during the implementation of the project and up to five years after the end of the project. The payment of the Union financial contribution to the coordinator discharges the Commission from its obligation on payments to the other beneficiaries. Therefore, you shall ensure that all the appropriate payments are made to them without unjustified delay (see Articles II.2 and II.3). Furthermore note that according to the provisions of the Financial Regulation and of the grant agreement, sums due to the Union by a beneficiary may be recovered by offsetting them against any sums it owes to the beneficiary concerned, after informing the latter accordingly. Please inform the other beneficiaries of the results of the financial assessment for this reporting period.

We will also have a booth. I have kicked off the preparation of the session (see the two e-mails sent to the DWG for this purpose) and I would like to agree and coordinate with you regarding the messages and panelists for the first panel that I coordinate- It was originally based on FI-LAB, but I think it should now focus on the offering FI-WARE, FI-LABS, FI-OPS. The session will be held on the 19th of March from 14:30 to 16:30. There will be two panels (55 minutes each), ours and a second one that will count on use case projects. Interventions in the current agenda for this panel include: Value Proposition: a quick guide to FI-LAB Experience by a developer (one of the winners of the contests/hackathons) Access to data and physical infrastructures (representative of one of the smart cities connected to FI-LAB) Pan-European infrastructure for FI Experimentation (XIFI representative) Research, educational, Business and entrepreneurial support (KIC ICT Labs representative) Interaction with the panel and open discussion 1. Tell me if you are finally attending FIA (we need support for the booth and the session) 2. Tell me your suggestions for speakers. I need to close agenda and panelist by the end of next week.

Message-ID: <79C5DE4D25832A49BAACBC6E798E3FDB038902@DEERLM99EX5MSX.ww931.my-it-solutions.net> Hi Juanjo, PCC members, Let me update you about the current status of FI-WARE positioning in ECFI, the event that the FI PPP is organizing in April (Brussels). An urgent decision has to be made by us; therefore, read this e-mail and tell me which message I should transmit on behalf of the project. ? Initial proposal by FI-WARE was based on a session organized by the Chamber of Commerce (targeting CoC and Committee of the regions). We sent these contributions before Xmas ? Then, FI-WARE decided to withdraw from this option because of the conditions of ECFI (limited attendees, a fee of al almost 300 euro that was incompatible with the objectives of the workshop proposed by the CoC, too short sessions (we had 1,5h instead of 5h?). ? Based on this decision FI-WARE disappeared from the programme, and we came later to the organizing committee with a new proposal ? As some of you may know, in this group people are not very flexible, and therefore, despite our willingness to improve the current programme and perception of the event, it is being quite difficult to go forward with our plans. Some days ago both the EC and Ilka (FI PPP chair) agreed on giving FI-WARE/FI-LAB/FIOPS more visibility and based on that FI-WARE pushed for a presentation in the plenary session of day 1. ? I drafted the descriptions based on my discussions with Juanjo and previous background (I attached the last version sent to the DWG). The proposal includes the aforementioned presentation in the plenary as well as a parallel workshop. ? While the workshop has been accepted by the OC, they only provide us the option of a presentation on Day 2 (see decision by the OC sent to me today) ? I need to react from the FI-WARE side with a common view (and not a personal opinion). I should do this ASAP Please, see rational of the OC below and tell me what is your position as member of the FI-WARE PCC. Juanjo, your views as coordinator are essential.

The ECFI-1 organising committee (OC) agreed to most of what you proposed. The description of your parallel session on ?Open APIs and Open Minds" is already online at http://www.ecfi.eu/programme-brussels2014/session-10/ Concerning your request to have a 30-min plenary presentation on "FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab", the participating OC members (including representatives from FINESCE, FIspace, FI-CONTENT, and XIFI) unanimously agreed after a comprehensive discussion of the different aspects that it would not be feasible/beneficial to shorten the lunch break on day 1, as you had suggested, in order to insert this session. The lunch break on day 1 is a crucial time for participants to explore the exhibition. Shortening the lunch break from 90 min to 60 min would seriously reduce the interaction at the booths/demos, which is one of the important aspects of the event. The second reason is that the OC considered it more appropriate to dedicate a full hour (instead of 30 min) of plenary time to an important topic like " FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab", which is only feasible on day 2. In addition, the longer duration will also make it possible to have a XIFI representative present FI-OPs and have some time for Q&A. Thus, I ask for your understanding that the OC scheduled the proposed plenary session for the morning of day 2. The draft description is online at http://www.ecfi.eu/session-9/ In order to finalise the session agenda, I would like to ask you to coordinate with Monique from XIFI. In addition to organising these 2 sessions, I would ask for FI-WARE's support in actively promoting ECFI Brussels over the next few weeks, in order to attract a good number of participants to our joint FI-PPP event.

Find attached version 2 of the proposal that includes the following changes wrt v1. ? I have changed the title of the plenary presentation to reflect the three brands more explicitly and it was initially proposed by Juanjo ? I have added the three logos; still they should not only appear in the session description but in the overall programme ? I have added agenda and speakers to the session (the parallel workshop) keeping the explanations to guide attendees about the content (of course now I have to confirm speakers) Be aware that in previous discussions both the EC (Peter) and Ilka agreed to have a FI-WARE/FI-LABS/FI-OPS presentation at the beginning of the programme (beginning of the conference means day 1). Checking the existing programme I think this could be well accommodated by delaying lunch 30 minutes, which seems reasonable because it would still be typical Brussels lunch time. Let me know if something else from my side is needed.

I will try to progress on that. I can draft agendas for the sessions with potential speakers. Be aware that I cannot confirm names in 2 days because those people will need to check the possibility to travel on those dates. In some cases I already initiated the process (for example, I asked Juanjo to check the availability of some of the Campus Party winners). So, I will provide what I can on Monday and we go on working on it from that point. Best regards, Nuria -----Original Message----- From: Milon Gupta [mailto:gupta at eurescom.eu] Sent: Thursday, February 20, 2014 6:19 PM To: De-Lama Sanchez, Nuria Cc: Fatelnig Peter; Berstr?m Ragnar; Arian.ZWEGERS at ec.europa.eu; Maria-Concepcion Anton Garcia; Lakaniem Ilkka; Hierro Sureda Juan Jos?; David Kennedy; Fatelnig Peter Subject: RE: FI-WARE proposals for ECFI Dear Nuria, At the last DWG conference call there was general agreement that the FI-WARE project should organise a plenary session and a more in-depth parallel session on presenting FI-WARE, FI-LAB and FI-OPs - for the FI-OPs part in collaboration with XIFI. The ensuing DWG e-mail discussion according to my understanding showed that your original proposal had neglected the FI-OPs part, and I think you had agreed to work together with the XIFI people to work on a revised version of your original proposal. Your draft proposal has been lacking necessary details like envisaged speakers and, thus, needs to be revised anyhow. It would be good, if you could send a revised draft to the DWG by Monday morning, 24 February, 11:00, so we could consider it in the ECFI-1 OC call. Just to make this clear: after the agreement in the DWG, the ECFI-1 OC will not discuss whether to have a plenary session and a parallel session organised by FI-WARE or not, but only how and when it should happen. This requires, of course, that FI-WARE delivers the required agendas, including speakers, for both sessions soon. Without preempting the ECFI-1 OC call discussion, I daresay that accommodating your wish to have the FI-WARE organised plenary session in the morning of day 1 is hardly feasible, as this would require un-inviting high-level speakers who add value to the conference programme and who took months to secure. Thus, my proposal to the ECFI-1 OC, which I had already explained at the last DWG call, has been to start day 2 with the FI-WARE organised plenary session. In addition to the conference programme, the FI-WARE project will have plenty of opportunities for presenting FI-WARE, FI-LAB and FI-OPs in the exhibition. Please send me the description of the FI-WARE stand at your earliest convenience. In addition, I would appreciate, if FI-WARE could mobilise its PR forces to promote the event. As you can see, there is a lot of actions you can take right now - there is absolutely no reason for you to wait for outcomes of the next organising committee call.

I think the position of FI-WARE is clear: ? I welcome the agreement by the EC and Ilka on the plenary session showing that the three brands FI-WARE/FI-LAB/FI-OPS are up and running ? I understand that for both the plenary session and the parallel workshop we have to wait until the Organizing committee agrees on that and approves the contents formally. Be aware that I will not start preparing anything until I get confirmation ? Then, involvement of Ogilvy can happen, but their assignment of resources is very much planned, and as I pointed out, some works can be done but would require CONCORD to pay unless we talk about minor works.

In-Reply-To: <79C5DE4D25832A49BAACBC6E798E3FDB038902@DEERLM99EX5MSX.ww931.my-it-solutions.net> References: <79C5DE4D25832A49BAACBC6E798E3FDB038902@DEERLM99EX5MSX.ww931.my-it-solutions.net> Message-ID: <530C2344.6080205@tid.es> Dear Nuria, I believe I had already explained my position in this respect. I believe that moving a general presentation on FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab to Day 2 does not work and, I would add more, goes against the approach that Peter Fatelning asked CONCORD to follow for the event (see text marked in red of the long thread of emails linked to this discussion that was attached by Nuria). Actually, he literally said that the two following points had to be taken into account in the re-design of the event: 3) A key message is: "The FI-PPP delivers, the product lines FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops are there and work today", celebrate the early 'usages' by phase 2 projects and the hackathons. ... 5) A FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops ? mini-session should be added to the opening plenary (What is are the products, where are we in the programme, show 1-2 working examples?). Not more than 25 minutes. His advice in this respect, which was complementary to ours, has simply been ignored. I frankly do not understand why introducing a slot of 20 minutes (which, btw, was initially taken into consideration because they asked us about a keynote speech by our CEO, Carlos Domingo) is so difficult ... BTW ... it doesn't need to be me actually who make that speech. It could be some top executive of some of the partners if it looks more suitable. On the other hand, I don't see that there has been any reaction to the point of dropping the fee of 285?. This was labeled as "deterrent" by Peter Fatelnig. Bottom line, I would answer the following way: === Dear Milon, I regret to say that our feeling is that your proposal goes against the principles that should guide the re-design of the program IMHO. Those principles were very well summarized by Peter Fatelnig in his mail of February 18. By the way, we wonder whether you still propose keeping a fee of 285? to attendees which we also find deterrent. Under the current circumstances and given the short time to settle down all the disparate views on the design of the program, we would propose to cancel the event. Looking for another dates and a design of the event which a) doesn't require to ask for a high fee to attendees and b) can be organized activating the network of contacts of phase 3 projects, look like a good rationale you can give to people who had already registered.

An urgent decision has to be made by us; therefore, read this e-mail and tell me which message I should transmit on behalf of the project. ? Initial proposal by FI-WARE was based on a session organized by the Chamber of Commerce (targeting CoC and Committee of the regions). We sent these contributions before Xmas ? Then, FI-WARE decided to withdraw from this option because of the conditions of ECFI (limited attendees, a fee of al almost 300 euro that was incompatible with the objectives of the workshop proposed by the CoC, too short sessions (we had 1,5h instead of 5h?). ? Based on this decision FI-WARE disappeared from the programme, and we came later to the organizing committee with a new proposal ? As some of you may know, in this group people are not very flexible, and therefore, despite our willingness to improve the current programme and perception of the event, it is being quite difficult to go forward with our plans. Some days ago both the EC and Ilka (FI PPP chair) agreed on giving FI-WARE/FI-LAB/FIOPS more visibility and based on that FI-WARE pushed for a presentation in the plenary session of day 1. ? I drafted the descriptions based on my discussions with Juanjo and previous background (I attached the last version sent to the DWG). The proposal includes the aforementioned presentation in the plenary as well as a parallel workshop. ? While the workshop has been accepted by the OC, they only provide us the option of a presentation on Day 2 (see decision by the OC sent to me today) ? I need to react from the FI-WARE side with a common view (and not a personal opinion). I should do this ASAP Please, see rational of the OC below and tell me what is your position as member of the FI-WARE PCC. Juanjo, your views as coordinator are essential.

The ECFI-1 organising committee (OC) agreed to most of what you proposed. The description of your parallel session on ?Open APIs and Open Minds" is already online at http://www.ecfi.eu/programme-brussels2014/session-10/ Concerning your request to have a 30-min plenary presentation on "FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab", the participating OC members (including representatives from FINESCE, FIspace, FI-CONTENT, and XIFI) unanimously agreed after a comprehensive discussion of the different aspects that it would not be feasible/beneficial to shorten the lunch break on day 1, as you had suggested, in order to insert this session. The lunch break on day 1 is a crucial time for participants to explore the exhibition. Shortening the lunch break from 90 min to 60 min would seriously reduce the interaction at the booths/demos, which is one of the important aspects of the event. The second reason is that the OC considered it more appropriate to dedicate a full hour (instead of 30 min) of plenary time to an important topic like " FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab", which is only feasible on day 2. In addition, the longer duration will also make it possible to have a XIFI representative present FI-OPs and have some time for Q&A. Thus, I ask for your understanding that the OC scheduled the proposed plenary session for the morning of day 2. The draft description is online at http://www.ecfi.eu/session-9/ In order to finalise the session agenda, I would like to ask you to coordinate with Monique from XIFI. In addition to organising these 2 sessions, I would ask for FI-WARE's support in actively promoting ECFI Brussels over the next few weeks, in order to attract a good number of participants to our joint FI-PPP event.

Find attached version 2 of the proposal that includes the following changes wrt v1. ? I have changed the title of the plenary presentation to reflect the three brands more explicitly and it was initially proposed by Juanjo ? I have added the three logos; still they should not only appear in the session description but in the overall programme ? I have added agenda and speakers to the session (the parallel workshop) keeping the explanations to guide attendees about the content (of course now I have to confirm speakers) Be aware that in previous discussions both the EC (Peter) and Ilka agreed to have a FI-WARE/FI-LABS/FI-OPS presentation at the beginning of the programme (beginning of the conference means day 1). Checking the existing programme I think this could be well accommodated by delaying lunch 30 minutes, which seems reasonable because it would still be typical Brussels lunch time. Let me know if something else from my side is needed.

I will try to progress on that. I can draft agendas for the sessions with potential speakers.

The ensuing DWG e-mail discussion according to my understanding showed that your original proposal had neglected the FI-OPs part, and I think you had agreed to work together with the XIFI people to work on a revised version of your original proposal. Your draft proposal has been lacking necessary details like envisaged speakers and, thus, needs to be revised anyhow. It would be good, if you could send a revised draft to the DWG by Monday morning, 24 February, 11:00, so we could consider it in the ECFI-1 OC call. Just to make this clear: after the agreement in the DWG, the ECFI-1 OC will not discuss whether to have a plenary session and a parallel session organised by FI-WARE or not, but only how and when it should happen. This requires, of course, that FI-WARE delivers the required agendas, including speakers, for both sessions soon. Without preempting the ECFI-1 OC call discussion, I daresay that accommodating your wish to have the FI-WARE organised plenary session in the morning of day 1 is hardly feasible, as this would require un-inviting high-level speakers who add value to the conference programme and who took months to secure. Thus, my proposal to the ECFI-1 OC, which I had already explained at the last DWG call, has been to start day 2 with the FI-WARE organised plenary session. In addition to the conference programme, the FI-WARE project will have plenty of opportunities for presenting FI-WARE, FI-LAB and FI-OPs in the exhibition. Please send me the description of the FI-WARE stand at your earliest convenience. In addition, I would appreciate, if FI-WARE could mobilise its PR forces to promote the event. As you can see, there is a lot of actions you can take right now - there is absolutely no reason for you to wait for outcomes of the next organising committee call.

I think the position of FI-WARE is clear: ? I welcome the agreement by the EC and Ilka on the plenary session showing that the three brands FI-WARE/FI-LAB/FI-OPS are up and running ? I understand that for both the plenary session and the parallel workshop we have to wait until the Organizing committee agrees on that and approves the contents formally. Be aware that I will not start preparing anything until I get confirmation ? Then, involvement of Ogilvy can happen, but their assignment of resources is very much planned, and as I pointed out, some works can be done but would require CONCORD to pay unless we talk about minor works.

I believe that moving a general presentation on FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab to Day 2 does not work and, I would add more, goes against the approach that Peter Fatelning asked CONCORD to follow for the event (see text marked in red of the long thread of emails linked to this discussion that was attached by Nuria). Actually, he literally said that the two following points had to be taken into account in the re-design of the event: 3) A key message is: "The FI-PPP delivers, the product lines FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops are there and work today", celebrate the early 'usages' by phase 2 projects and the hackathons. ... 5) A FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops ? mini-session should be added to the opening plenary (What is are the products, where are we in the programme, show 1-2 working examples?). Not more than 25 minutes. His advice in this respect, which was complementary to ours, has simply been ignored. I frankly do not understand why introducing a slot of 20 minutes (which, btw, was initially taken into consideration because they asked us about a keynote speech by our CEO, Carlos Domingo) is so difficult ... BTW ... it doesn't need to be me actually who make that speech. It could be some top executive of some of the partners if it looks more suitable. On the other hand, I don't see that there has been any reaction to the point of dropping the fee of 285?. This was labeled as "deterrent" by Peter Fatelnig. Bottom line, I would answer the following way: === Dear Milon, I regret to say that our feeling is that your proposal goes against the principles that should guide the re-design of the program IMHO. Those principles were very well summarized by Peter Fatelnig in his mail of February 18. By the way, we wonder whether you still propose keeping a fee of 285? to attendees which we also find deterrent. Under the current circumstances and given the short time to settle down all the disparate views on the design of the program, we would propose to cancel the event. Looking for another dates and a design of the event which a) doesn't require to ask for a high fee to attendees and b) can be organized activating the network of contacts of phase 3 projects, look like a good rationale you can give to people who had already registered.

An urgent decision has to be made by us; therefore, read this e-mail and tell me which message I should transmit on behalf of the project. ? Initial proposal by FI-WARE was based on a session organized by the Chamber of Commerce (targeting CoC and Committee of the regions). We sent these contributions before Xmas ? Then, FI-WARE decided to withdraw from this option because of the conditions of ECFI (limited attendees, a fee of al almost 300 euro that was incompatible with the objectives of the workshop proposed by the CoC, too short sessions (we had 1,5h instead of 5h?). ? Based on this decision FI-WARE disappeared from the programme, and we came later to the organizing committee with a new proposal ? As some of you may know, in this group people are not very flexible, and therefore, despite our willingness to improve the current programme and perception of the event, it is being quite difficult to go forward with our plans. Some days ago both the EC and Ilka (FI PPP chair) agreed on giving FI-WARE/FI-LAB/FIOPS more visibility and based on that FI-WARE pushed for a presentation in the plenary session of day 1. ? I drafted the descriptions based on my discussions with Juanjo and previous background (I attached the last version sent to the DWG). The proposal includes the aforementioned presentation in the plenary as well as a parallel workshop. ? While the workshop has been accepted by the OC, they only provide us the option of a presentation on Day 2 (see decision by the OC sent to me today) ? I need to react from the FI-WARE side with a common view (and not a personal opinion). I should do this ASAP Please, see rational of the OC below and tell me what is your position as member of the FI-WARE PCC. Juanjo, your views as coordinator are essential.

The ECFI-1 organising committee (OC) agreed to most of what you proposed. The description of your parallel session on ?Open APIs and Open Minds" is already online at http://www.ecfi.eu/programme-brussels2014/session-10/ Concerning your request to have a 30-min plenary presentation on "FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab", the participating OC members (including representatives from FINESCE, FIspace, FI-CONTENT, and XIFI) unanimously agreed after a comprehensive discussion of the different aspects that it would not be feasible/beneficial to shorten the lunch break on day 1, as you had suggested, in order to insert this session. The lunch break on day 1 is a crucial time for participants to explore the exhibition. Shortening the lunch break from 90 min to 60 min would seriously reduce the interaction at the booths/demos, which is one of the important aspects of the event. The second reason is that the OC considered it more appropriate to dedicate a full hour (instead of 30 min) of plenary time to an important topic like " FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab", which is only feasible on day 2. In addition, the longer duration will also make it possible to have a XIFI representative present FI-OPs and have some time for Q&A. Thus, I ask for your understanding that the OC scheduled the proposed plenary session for the morning of day 2. The draft description is online at http://www.ecfi.eu/session-9/ In order to finalise the session agenda, I would like to ask you to coordinate with Monique from XIFI. In addition to organising these 2 sessions, I would ask for FI-WARE's support in actively promoting ECFI Brussels over the next few weeks, in order to attract a good number of participants to our joint FI-PPP event.

Find attached version 2 of the proposal that includes the following changes wrt v1. ? I have changed the title of the plenary presentation to reflect the three brands more explicitly and it was initially proposed by Juanjo ? I have added the three logos; still they should not only appear in the session description but in the overall programme ? I have added agenda and speakers to the session (the parallel workshop) keeping the explanations to guide attendees about the content (of course now I have to confirm speakers) Be aware that in previous discussions both the EC (Peter) and Ilka agreed to have a FI-WARE/FI-LABS/FI-OPS presentation at the beginning of the programme (beginning of the conference means day 1). Checking the existing programme I think this could be well accommodated by delaying lunch 30 minutes, which seems reasonable because it would still be typical Brussels lunch time.

The ensuing DWG e-mail discussion according to my understanding showed that your original proposal had neglected the FI-OPs part, and I think you had agreed to work together with the XIFI people to work on a revised version of your original proposal. Your draft proposal has been lacking necessary details like envisaged speakers and, thus, needs to be revised anyhow. It would be good, if you could send a revised draft to the DWG by Monday morning, 24 February, 11:00, so we could consider it in the ECFI-1 OC call. Just to make this clear: after the agreement in the DWG, the ECFI-1 OC will not discuss whether to have a plenary session and a parallel session organised by FI-WARE or not, but only how and when it should happen. This requires, of course, that FI-WARE delivers the required agendas, including speakers, for both sessions soon. Without preempting the ECFI-1 OC call discussion, I daresay that accommodating your wish to have the FI-WARE organised plenary session in the morning of day 1 is hardly feasible, as this would require un-inviting high-level speakers who add value to the conference programme and who took months to secure. Thus, my proposal to the ECFI-1 OC, which I had already explained at the last DWG call, has been to start day 2 with the FI-WARE organised plenary session. In addition to the conference programme, the FI-WARE project will have plenty of opportunities for presenting FI-WARE, FI-LAB and FI-OPs in the exhibition. Please send me the description of the FI-WARE stand at your earliest convenience. In addition, I would appreciate, if FI-WARE could mobilise its PR forces to promote the event. As you can see, there is a lot of actions you can take right now - there is absolutely no reason for you to wait for outcomes of the next organising committee call.

I think the position of FI-WARE is clear: ? I welcome the agreement by the EC and Ilka on the plenary session showing that the three brands FI-WARE/FI-LAB/FI-OPS are up and running ? I understand that for both the plenary session and the parallel workshop we have to wait until the Organizing committee agrees on that and approves the contents formally. Be aware that I will not start preparing anything until I get confirmation ? Then, involvement of Ogilvy can happen, but their assignment of resources is very much planned, and as I pointed out, some works can be done but would require CONCORD to pay unless we talk about minor works. For example, some support to design could be given, but if we want new material to be created or to provide media coverage of the event, this would have to be covered (as said, we have assigned this kind of resources to external events that can have more impact at commercial level). If this is not feasible you can always rely on a lot of things that have been done. FI-WARE has elaborated quite a lot of material for different events: we have the generic ones and the ones focused on smart cities (brochures, posters?). Additionally we count on a channel fed with lots of videos recorded in different events (UK; Lithuania, Spain, Brazil?).

Here ? in a staccato approach ? what I believe would be the way forward: 1) Objective: Pitching the Future Internet PPP outcomes (FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops) and what phase 3 holds in terms of opportunities to the Brussels microcosm. 2) The fee of 285 Euro is a deterrent. Can it be lowered to 99 Euro (and reimburse those who have paid)? Can it be waived altogether? 3) A key message is: "The FI-PPP delivers, the product lines FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops are there and work today", celebrate the early 'usages' by phase 2 projects and the hackathons. 4) Key points for the debate could be: What are the challenges to make FI-PPP outcomes sustainable? What are the challenges the fast pace of technological changes pose for FI-Ware? What are non-technical challenges? What needs to be done to make the FI-PPP a success? 5) A FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops ? mini-session should be added to the opening plenary (What is are the products, where are we in the programme, show 1-2 working examples?). Not more than 25 minutes. 6) The input material for the conference needs to be catchy. No point of showing half-baked, technical speak in a format which is not appealing. Again the key message is: The FI-PPP delivers! Then one should expand on the 'products' i.e. FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops and then on the two ?pronged take-up actions. 1) The P2 domain specific large scale trials and the 16 FI Accelerators of P3. I think it is indispensable that FI-WARE connection to Ogilvy is used 110% to produce publishable material before the end of the months (admittedly the website is nice). 7) I would like to write to a number of Commission service to raise interest and invite to attend (I will also ask Mario to write to his peers), including Member states representatives. 8) Equally I would expect that the companies in FI-WARE and the P2 trials will activate their representations in Brussels and the associations they are member of (e.g. DigitalEurope). Also the ETPs, Nessi, Net!Works (and the new 5GPPP), FIRE, Smart City EIP should be pushed as multipliers of the message. Final question: ? While hearing all views, the event now needs somebody who makes the decision, fast and firm, in order to move actions. Who will be that driver where all inputs can be focussed and actions is organised? ? Can we have another phone call towards the end of the week? ? Nuria, would it be possible to activate Ogilvy already now? I wanted to be sharp on the above, of course in the end there is flexibility everywhere as we go along.

I have come back to some of my colleagues, including the Ogilvy team to check the way we could support the ECFI event. We are of course glad to help. As said during the teleconference, FI-WARE is going through its last phase and we are running out of resources; that is why we had to assign some of the remaining resources to those activities where the ROI seems to be higher and in our case these are the ones that target developers and people outside the research community. Nevertheless, there is still some time to work on that. Let me suggest the following actions. ? I attach the FI-WARE proposal for the programme. This includes a presentation in the plenary plus a parallel session where some of the concepts will be extended. The initial presentation will be made by Juanjo, but for the parallel session our idea is to count not only on internal people, but also ?FI-WARE? ambassadors, including cities that have connected to FI-WARE as well as some of the winners of the hackathons (for example from the last edition of Campus Party held in Brazil). Of course names will be confirmed once the session is approved and assuming the do not have to pay the fee (I also sent it to the DWG for consideration by the OC) ? FI-WARE has also confirmed its presence in the exhibition (still details to be sent) It was not easy to confirm this because, as you know, we were working until recently on the basis of the session with the Chamber of Commerce. Assuming that these changes are implemented in the programme then, we could get more engaged in the design and visibility of the event. As said before, FI-WARE can provide suggestions for improvement, but if more time intensive work is needed, then we would need to cover the costs of Ogilvy. This would be specifically required for this type of activities: - new designs of flyer, stands, ... - Material production (for example, if online development is required..) - Coverage of the event if we want to create professional media material (and a team from Ogilvy has to travel there). We did this in ICT event, Smart City Expo, Campus Party London and Campus Party Brazil with very good results The remaining budget has been assigned to the next Campus party, some important political events in Spain and the one we have to organize with the Chambers of Commerce. We are in discussions with FI-CONTENT on how to do it for CeBIT precisely because of limited resources. However, FI-WARE puts at the disposal of anyone in the PPP all the material already created. Links to videos have been distributed and I do not think there is anything against using them on the ECFI website to make it more dynamic, including statements about the FI PPP from relevant people. ?

The ECFI-1 organising committee (OC) agreed to most of what you proposed. The description of your parallel session on ?Open APIs and Open Minds" is already online at http://www.ecfi.eu/programme-brussels2014/session-10/ Concerning your request to have a 30-min plenary presentation on "FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab", the participating OC members (including representatives from FINESCE, FIspace, FI-CONTENT, and XIFI) unanimously agreed after a comprehensive discussion of the different aspects that it would not be feasible/beneficial to shorten the lunch break on day 1, as you had suggested, in order to insert this session. The lunch break on day 1 is a crucial time for participants to explore the exhibition. Shortening the lunch break from 90 min to 60 min would seriously reduce the interaction at the booths/demos, which is one of the important aspects of the event. The second reason is that the OC considered it more appropriate to dedicate a full hour (instead of 30 min) of plenary time to an important topic like " FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab", which is only feasible on day 2. In addition, the longer duration will also make it possible to have a XIFI representative present FI-OPs and have some time for Q&A. Thus, I ask for your understanding that the OC scheduled the proposed plenary session for the morning of day 2. The draft description is online at http://www.ecfi.eu/session-9/ In order to finalise the session agenda, I would like to ask you to coordinate with Monique from XIFI. In addition to organising these 2 sessions, I would ask for FI-WARE's support in actively promoting ECFI Brussels over the next few weeks, in order to attract a good number of participants to our joint FI-PPP event.

Find attached version 2 of the proposal that includes the following changes wrt v1. ? I have changed the title of the plenary presentation to reflect the three brands more explicitly and it was initially proposed by Juanjo ? I have added the three logos; still they should not only appear in the session description but in the overall programme ? I have added agenda and speakers to the session (the parallel workshop) keeping the explanations to guide attendees about the content (of course now I have to confirm speakers) Be aware that in previous discussions both the EC (Peter) and Ilka agreed to have a FI-WARE/FI-LABS/FI-OPS presentation at the beginning of the programme (beginning of the conference means day 1). Checking the existing programme I think this could be well accommodated by delaying lunch 30 minutes, which seems reasonable because it would still be typical Brussels lunch time.

The ensuing DWG e-mail discussion according to my understanding showed that your original proposal had neglected the FI-OPs part, and I think you had agreed to work together with the XIFI people to work on a revised version of your original proposal. Your draft proposal has been lacking necessary details like envisaged speakers and, thus, needs to be revised anyhow. It would be good, if you could send a revised draft to the DWG by Monday morning, 24 February, 11:00, so we could consider it in the ECFI-1 OC call. Just to make this clear: after the agreement in the DWG, the ECFI-1 OC will not discuss whether to have a plenary session and a parallel session organised by FI-WARE or not, but only how and when it should happen. This requires, of course, that FI-WARE delivers the required agendas, including speakers, for both sessions soon. Without preempting the ECFI-1 OC call discussion, I daresay that accommodating your wish to have the FI-WARE organised plenary session in the morning of day 1 is hardly feasible, as this would require un-inviting high-level speakers who add value to the conference programme and who took months to secure. Thus, my proposal to the ECFI-1 OC, which I had already explained at the last DWG call, has been to start day 2 with the FI-WARE organised plenary session. In addition to the conference programme, the FI-WARE project will have plenty of opportunities for presenting FI-WARE, FI-LAB and FI-OPs in the exhibition. Please send me the description of the FI-WARE stand at your earliest convenience. In addition, I would appreciate, if FI-WARE could mobilise its PR forces to promote the event. As you can see, there is a lot of actions you can take right now - there is absolutely no reason for you to wait for outcomes of the next organising committee call.

I think the position of FI-WARE is clear: ? I welcome the agreement by the EC and Ilka on the plenary session showing that the three brands FI-WARE/FI-LAB/FI-OPS are up and running ? I understand that for both the plenary session and the parallel workshop we have to wait until the Organizing committee agrees on that and approves the contents formally. Be aware that I will not start preparing anything until I get confirmation ? Then, involvement of Ogilvy can happen, but their assignment of resources is very much planned, and as I pointed out, some works can be done but would require CONCORD to pay unless we talk about minor works. For example, some support to design could be given, but if we want new material to be created or to provide media coverage of the event, this would have to be covered (as said, we have assigned this kind of resources to external events that can have more impact at commercial level). If this is not feasible you can always rely on a lot of things that have been done. FI-WARE has elaborated quite a lot of material for different events: we have the generic ones and the ones focused on smart cities (brochures, posters?). Additionally we count on a channel fed with lots of videos recorded in different events (UK; Lithuania, Spain, Brazil?).

Here ? in a staccato approach ? what I believe would be the way forward: 1) Objective: Pitching the Future Internet PPP outcomes (FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops) and what phase 3 holds in terms of opportunities to the Brussels microcosm. 2) The fee of 285 Euro is a deterrent. Can it be lowered to 99 Euro (and reimburse those who have paid)? Can it be waived altogether? 3) A key message is: "The FI-PPP delivers, the product lines FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops are there and work today", celebrate the early 'usages' by phase 2 projects and the hackathons. 4) Key points for the debate could be: What are the challenges to make FI-PPP outcomes sustainable? What are the challenges the fast pace of technological changes pose for FI-Ware? What are non-technical challenges? What needs to be done to make the FI-PPP a success? 5) A FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops ? mini-session should be added to the opening plenary (What is are the products, where are we in the programme, show 1-2 working examples?). Not more than 25 minutes. 6) The input material for the conference needs to be catchy. No point of showing half-baked, technical speak in a format which is not appealing. Again the key message is: The FI-PPP delivers! Then one should expand on the 'products' i.e. FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops and then on the two ?pronged take-up actions. 1) The P2 domain specific large scale trials and the 16 FI Accelerators of P3. I think it is indispensable that FI-WARE connection to Ogilvy is used 110% to produce publishable material before the end of the months (admittedly the website is nice). 7) I would like to write to a number of Commission service to raise interest and invite to attend (I will also ask Mario to write to his peers), including Member states representatives. 8) Equally I would expect that the companies in FI-WARE and the P2 trials will activate their representations in Brussels and the associations they are member of (e.g. DigitalEurope). Also the ETPs, Nessi, Net!Works (and the new 5GPPP), FIRE, Smart City EIP should be pushed as multipliers of the message. Final question: ? While hearing all views, the event now needs somebody who makes the decision, fast and firm, in order to move actions. Who will be that driver where all inputs can be focussed and actions is organised? ? Can we have another phone call towards the end of the week? ? Nuria, would it be possible to activate Ogilvy already now? I wanted to be sharp on the above, of course in the end there is flexibility everywhere as we go along.

I have come back to some of my colleagues, including the Ogilvy team to check the way we could support the ECFI event. We are of course glad to help. As said during the teleconference, FI-WARE is going through its last phase and we are running out of resources; that is why we had to assign some of the remaining resources to those activities where the ROI seems to be higher and in our case these are the ones that target developers and people outside the research community. Nevertheless, there is still some time to work on that. Let me suggest the following actions. ? I attach the FI-WARE proposal for the programme. This includes a presentation in the plenary plus a parallel session where some of the concepts will be extended. The initial presentation will be made by Juanjo, but for the parallel session our idea is to count not only on internal people, but also ?FI-WARE? ambassadors, including cities that have connected to FI-WARE as well as some of the winners of the hackathons (for example from the last edition of Campus Party held in Brazil). Of course names will be confirmed once the session is approved and assuming the do not have to pay the fee (I also sent it to the DWG for consideration by the OC) ? FI-WARE has also confirmed its presence in the exhibition (still details to be sent) It was not easy to confirm this because, as you know, we were working until recently on the basis of the session with the Chamber of Commerce. Assuming that these changes are implemented in the programme then, we could get more engaged in the design and visibility of the event. As said before, FI-WARE can provide suggestions for improvement, but if more time intensive work is needed, then we would need to cover the costs of Ogilvy. This would be specifically required for this type of activities: - new designs of flyer, stands, ... - Material production (for example, if online development is required..) - Coverage of the event if we want to create professional media material (and a team from Ogilvy has to travel there). We did this in ICT event, Smart City Expo, Campus Party London and Campus Party Brazil with very good results The remaining budget has been assigned to the next Campus party, some important political events in Spain and the one we have to organize with the Chambers of Commerce. We are in discussions with FI-CONTENT on how to do it for CeBIT precisely because of limited resources. However, FI-WARE puts at the disposal of anyone in the PPP all the material already created. Links to videos have been distributed and I do not think there is anything against using them on the ECFI website to make it more dynamic, including statements about the FI PPP from relevant people. ? A lot of audiovisual material in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6tA5RY6g04&list=UUbXNGF_hhvKpXdQ1KxzX2HQ Let us know your views.

I believe that moving a general presentation on FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab to Day 2 does not work and, I would add more, goes against the approach that Peter Fatelning asked CONCORD to follow for the event (see text marked in red of the long thread of emails linked to this discussion that was attached by Nuria). Actually, he literally said that the two following points had to be taken into account in the re-design of the event: 3) A key message is: "The FI-PPP delivers, the product lines FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops are there and work today", celebrate the early 'usages' by phase 2 projects and the hackathons. ... 5) A FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops ? mini-session should be added to the opening plenary (What is are the products, where are we in the programme, show 1-2 working examples?). Not more than 25 minutes. His advice in this respect, which was complementary to ours, has simply been ignored. I frankly do not understand why introducing a slot of 20 minutes (which, btw, was initially taken into consideration because they asked us about a keynote speech by our CEO, Carlos Domingo) is so difficult ... BTW ... it doesn't need to be me actually who make that speech. It could be some top executive of some of the partners if it looks more suitable. On the other hand, I don't see that there has been any reaction to the point of dropping the fee of 285?. This was labeled as "deterrent" by Peter Fatelnig. Bottom line, I would answer the following way: === Dear Milon, I regret to say that our feeling is that your proposal goes against the principles that should guide the re-design of the program IMHO. Those principles were very well summarized by Peter Fatelnig in his mail of February 18. By the way, we wonder whether you still propose keeping a fee of 285? to attendees which we also find deterrent. Under the current circumstances and given the short time to settle down all the disparate views on the design of the program, we would propose to cancel the event. Looking for another dates and a design of the event which a) doesn't require to ask for a high fee to attendees and b) can be organized activating the network of contacts of phase 3 projects, look like a good rationale you can give to people who had already registered.

The draft description is online at http://www.ecfi.eu/session-9/ In order to finalise the session agenda, I would like to ask you to coordinate with Monique from XIFI. In addition to organising these 2 sessions, I would ask for FI-WARE's support in actively promoting ECFI Brussels over the next few weeks, in order to attract a good number of participants to our joint FI-PPP event.

Find attached version 2 of the proposal that includes the following changes wrt v1. ? I have changed the title of the plenary presentation to reflect the three brands more explicitly and it was initially proposed by Juanjo ? I have added the three logos; still they should not only appear in the session description but in the overall programme ? I have added agenda and speakers to the session (the parallel workshop) keeping the explanations to guide attendees about the content (of course now I have to confirm speakers) Be aware that in previous discussions both the EC (Peter) and Ilka agreed to have a FI-WARE/FI-LABS/FI-OPS presentation at the beginning of the programme (beginning of the conference means day 1). Checking the existing programme I think this could be well accommodated by delaying lunch 30 minutes, which seems reasonable because it would still be typical Brussels lunch time.

The ensuing DWG e-mail discussion according to my understanding showed that your original proposal had neglected the FI-OPs part, and I think you had agreed to work together with the XIFI people to work on a revised version of your original proposal. Your draft proposal has been lacking necessary details like envisaged speakers and, thus, needs to be revised anyhow. It would be good, if you could send a revised draft to the DWG by Monday morning, 24 February, 11:00, so we could consider it in the ECFI-1 OC call. Just to make this clear: after the agreement in the DWG, the ECFI-1 OC will not discuss whether to have a plenary session and a parallel session organised by FI-WARE or not, but only how and when it should happen. This requires, of course, that FI-WARE delivers the required agendas, including speakers, for both sessions soon. Without preempting the ECFI-1 OC call discussion, I daresay that accommodating your wish to have the FI-WARE organised plenary session in the morning of day 1 is hardly feasible, as this would require un-inviting high-level speakers who add value to the conference programme and who took months to secure. Thus, my proposal to the ECFI-1 OC, which I had already explained at the last DWG call, has been to start day 2 with the FI-WARE organised plenary session. In addition to the conference programme, the FI-WARE project will have plenty of opportunities for presenting FI-WARE, FI-LAB and FI-OPs in the exhibition. Please send me the description of the FI-WARE stand at your earliest convenience. In addition, I would appreciate, if FI-WARE could mobilise its PR forces to promote the event. As you can see, there is a lot of actions you can take right now - there is absolutely no reason for you to wait for outcomes of the next organising committee call.

I think the position of FI-WARE is clear: ? I welcome the agreement by the EC and Ilka on the plenary session showing that the three brands FI-WARE/FI-LAB/FI-OPS are up and running ? I understand that for both the plenary session and the parallel workshop we have to wait until the Organizing committee agrees on that and approves the contents formally. Be aware that I will not start preparing anything until I get confirmation ? Then, involvement of Ogilvy can happen, but their assignment of resources is very much planned, and as I pointed out, some works can be done but would require CONCORD to pay unless we talk about minor works. For example, some support to design could be given, but if we want new material to be created or to provide media coverage of the event, this would have to be covered (as said, we have assigned this kind of resources to external events that can have more impact at commercial level). If this is not feasible you can always rely on a lot of things that have been done. FI-WARE has elaborated quite a lot of material for different events: we have the generic ones and the ones focused on smart cities (brochures, posters?). Additionally we count on a channel fed with lots of videos recorded in different events (UK; Lithuania, Spain, Brazil?).

Here ? in a staccato approach ? what I believe would be the way forward: 1) Objective: Pitching the Future Internet PPP outcomes (FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops) and what phase 3 holds in terms of opportunities to the Brussels microcosm. 2) The fee of 285 Euro is a deterrent. Can it be lowered to 99 Euro (and reimburse those who have paid)? Can it be waived altogether? 3) A key message is: "The FI-PPP delivers, the product lines FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops are there and work today", celebrate the early 'usages' by phase 2 projects and the hackathons. 4) Key points for the debate could be: What are the challenges to make FI-PPP outcomes sustainable? What are the challenges the fast pace of technological changes pose for FI-Ware? What are non-technical challenges? What needs to be done to make the FI-PPP a success? 5) A FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops ? mini-session should be added to the opening plenary (What is are the products, where are we in the programme, show 1-2 working examples?). Not more than 25 minutes. 6) The input material for the conference needs to be catchy. No point of showing half-baked, technical speak in a format which is not appealing. Again the key message is: The FI-PPP delivers! Then one should expand on the 'products' i.e. FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops and then on the two ?pronged take-up actions. 1) The P2 domain specific large scale trials and the 16 FI Accelerators of P3. I think it is indispensable that FI-WARE connection to Ogilvy is used 110% to produce publishable material before the end of the months (admittedly the website is nice). 7) I would like to write to a number of Commission service to raise interest and invite to attend (I will also ask Mario to write to his peers), including Member states representatives. 8) Equally I would expect that the companies in FI-WARE and the P2 trials will activate their representations in Brussels and the associations they are member of (e.g. DigitalEurope). Also the ETPs, Nessi, Net!Works (and the new 5GPPP), FIRE, Smart City EIP should be pushed as multipliers of the message. Final question: ? While hearing all views, the event now needs somebody who makes the decision, fast and firm, in order to move actions. Who will be that driver where all inputs can be focussed and actions is organised? ? Can we have another phone call towards the end of the week? ? Nuria, would it be possible to activate Ogilvy already now? I wanted to be sharp on the above, of course in the end there is flexibility everywhere as we go along.

I have come back to some of my colleagues, including the Ogilvy team to check the way we could support the ECFI event. We are of course glad to help. As said during the teleconference, FI-WARE is going through its last phase and we are running out of resources; that is why we had to assign some of the remaining resources to those activities where the ROI seems to be higher and in our case these are the ones that target developers and people outside the research community. Nevertheless, there is still some time to work on that. Let me suggest the following actions. ? I attach the FI-WARE proposal for the programme. This includes a presentation in the plenary plus a parallel session where some of the concepts will be extended. The initial presentation will be made by Juanjo, but for the parallel session our idea is to count not only on internal people, but also ?FI-WARE? ambassadors, including cities that have connected to FI-WARE as well as some of the winners of the hackathons (for example from the last edition of Campus Party held in Brazil). Of course names will be confirmed once the session is approved and assuming the do not have to pay the fee (I also sent it to the DWG for consideration by the OC) ? FI-WARE has also confirmed its presence in the exhibition (still details to be sent) It was not easy to confirm this because, as you know, we were working until recently on the basis of the session with the Chamber of Commerce. Assuming that these changes are implemented in the programme then, we could get more engaged in the design and visibility of the event. As said before, FI-WARE can provide suggestions for improvement, but if more time intensive work is needed, then we would need to cover the costs of Ogilvy. This would be specifically required for this type of activities: - new designs of flyer, stands, ... - Material production (for example, if online development is required..) - Coverage of the event if we want to create professional media material (and a team from Ogilvy has to travel there). We did this in ICT event, Smart City Expo, Campus Party London and Campus Party Brazil with very good results The remaining budget has been assigned to the next Campus party, some important political events in Spain and the one we have to organize with the Chambers of Commerce. We are in discussions with FI-CONTENT on how to do it for CeBIT precisely because of limited resources. However, FI-WARE puts at the disposal of anyone in the PPP all the material already created. Links to videos have been distributed and I do not think there is anything against using them on the ECFI website to make it more dynamic, including statements about the FI PPP from relevant people. ? A lot of audiovisual material in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6tA5RY6g04&list=UUbXNGF_hhvKpXdQ1KxzX2HQ Let us know your views.

Hierro" Subject: Re: FI-WARE proposals for ECFI_v2_REACTION FROM FI-WARE ASAP!! Dear Nuria, I believe I had already explained my position in this respect. I believe that moving a general presentation on FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab to Day 2 does not work and, I would add more, goes against the approach that Peter Fatelning asked CONCORD to follow for the event (see text marked in red of the long thread of emails linked to this discussion that was attached by Nuria). Actually, he literally said that the two following points had to be taken into account in the re-design of the event: 3) A key message is: "The FI-PPP delivers, the product lines FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops are there and work today", celebrate the early 'usages' by phase 2 projects and the hackathons. ... 5) A FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops ? mini-session should be added to the opening plenary (What is are the products, where are we in the programme, show 1-2 working examples?). Not more than 25 minutes. His advice in this respect, which was complementary to ours, has simply been ignored. I frankly do not understand why introducing a slot of 20 minutes (which, btw, was initially taken into consideration because they asked us about a keynote speech by our CEO, Carlos Domingo) is so difficult ... BTW ... it doesn't need to be me actually who make that speech. It could be some top executive of some of the partners if it looks more suitable. On the other hand, I don't see that there has been any reaction to the point of dropping the fee of 285?. This was labeled as "deterrent" by Peter Fatelnig. Bottom line, I would answer the following way: === Dear Milon, I regret to say that our feeling is that your proposal goes against the principles that should guide the re-design of the program IMHO. Those principles were very well summarized by Peter Fatelnig in his mail of February 18. By the way, we wonder whether you still propose keeping a fee of 285? to attendees which we also find deterrent. Under the current circumstances and given the short time to settle down all the disparate views on the design of the program, we would propose to cancel the event. Looking for another dates and a design of the event which a) doesn't require to ask for a high fee to attendees and b) can be organized activating the network of contacts of phase 3 projects, look like a good rationale you can give to people who had already registered.

An urgent decision has to be made by us; therefore, read this e-mail and tell me which message I should transmit on behalf of the project. ? Initial proposal by FI-WARE was based on a session organized by the Chamber of Commerce (targeting CoC and Committee of the regions). We sent these contributions before Xmas ? Then, FI-WARE decided to withdraw from this option because of the conditions of ECFI (limited attendees, a fee of al almost 300 euro that was incompatible with the objectives of the workshop proposed by the CoC, too short sessions (we had 1,5h instead of 5h?). ? Based on this decision FI-WARE disappeared from the programme, and we came later to the organizing committee with a new proposal ? As some of you may know, in this group people are not very flexible, and therefore, despite our willingness to improve the current programme and perception of the event, it is being quite difficult to go forward with our plans. Some days ago both the EC and Ilka (FI PPP chair) agreed on giving FI-WARE/FI-LAB/FIOPS more visibility and based on that FI-WARE pushed for a presentation in the plenary session of day 1. ? I drafted the descriptions based on my discussions with Juanjo and previous background (I attached the last version sent to the DWG). The proposal includes the aforementioned presentation in the plenary as well as a parallel workshop. ? While the workshop has been accepted by the OC, they only provide us the option of a presentation on Day 2 (see decision by the OC sent to me today) ? I need to react from the FI-WARE side with a common view (and not a personal opinion).

The ECFI-1 organising committee (OC) agreed to most of what you proposed. The description of your parallel session on ?Open APIs and Open Minds" is already online at http://www.ecfi.eu/programme-brussels2014/session-10/ Concerning your request to have a 30-min plenary presentation on "FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab", the participating OC members (including representatives from FINESCE, FIspace, FI-CONTENT, and XIFI) unanimously agreed after a comprehensive discussion of the different aspects that it would not be feasible/beneficial to shorten the lunch break on day 1, as you had suggested, in order to insert this session. The lunch break on day 1 is a crucial time for participants to explore the exhibition. Shortening the lunch break from 90 min to 60 min would seriously reduce the interaction at the booths/demos, which is one of the important aspects of the event. The second reason is that the OC considered it more appropriate to dedicate a full hour (instead of 30 min) of plenary time to an important topic like " FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab", which is only feasible on day 2. In addition, the longer duration will also make it possible to have a XIFI representative present FI-OPs and have some time for Q&A. Thus, I ask for your understanding that the OC scheduled the proposed plenary session for the morning of day 2. The draft description is online at http://www.ecfi.eu/session-9/ In order to finalise the session agenda, I would like to ask you to coordinate with Monique from XIFI. In addition to organising these 2 sessions, I would ask for FI-WARE's support in actively promoting ECFI Brussels over the next few weeks, in order to attract a good number of participants to our joint FI-PPP event.

Your draft proposal has been lacking necessary details like envisaged speakers and, thus, needs to be revised anyhow. It would be good, if you could send a revised draft to the DWG by Monday morning, 24 February, 11:00, so we could consider it in the ECFI-1 OC call. Just to make this clear: after the agreement in the DWG, the ECFI-1 OC will not discuss whether to have a plenary session and a parallel session organised by FI-WARE or not, but only how and when it should happen. This requires, of course, that FI-WARE delivers the required agendas, including speakers, for both sessions soon. Without preempting the ECFI-1 OC call discussion, I daresay that accommodating your wish to have the FI-WARE organised plenary session in the morning of day 1 is hardly feasible, as this would require un-inviting high-level speakers who add value to the conference programme and who took months to secure. Thus, my proposal to the ECFI-1 OC, which I had already explained at the last DWG call, has been to start day 2 with the FI-WARE organised plenary session. In addition to the conference programme, the FI-WARE project will have plenty of opportunities for presenting FI-WARE, FI-LAB and FI-OPs in the exhibition. Please send me the description of the FI-WARE stand at your earliest convenience. In addition, I would appreciate, if FI-WARE could mobilise its PR forces to promote the event. As you can see, there is a lot of actions you can take right now - there is absolutely no reason for you to wait for outcomes of the next organising committee call.

I think the position of FI-WARE is clear: ? I welcome the agreement by the EC and Ilka on the plenary session showing that the three brands FI-WARE/FI-LAB/FI-OPS are up and running ? I understand that for both the plenary session and the parallel workshop we have to wait until the Organizing committee agrees on that and approves the contents formally. Be aware that I will not start preparing anything until I get confirmation ? Then, involvement of Ogilvy can happen, but their assignment of resources is very much planned, and as I pointed out, some works can be done but would require CONCORD to pay unless we talk about minor works. For example, some support to design could be given, but if we want new material to be created or to provide media coverage of the event, this would have to be covered (as said, we have assigned this kind of resources to external events that can have more impact at commercial level). If this is not feasible you can always rely on a lot of things that have been done. FI-WARE has elaborated quite a lot of material for different events: we have the generic ones and the ones focused on smart cities (brochures, posters?). Additionally we count on a channel fed with lots of videos recorded in different events (UK; Lithuania, Spain, Brazil?).

The ECFI-1 OC was created about half a year ago as a temporary group within the DWG with the mandate to plan and implement the event. Decision procedures are organised transparently in order to ensure participation and commitment by a maximum number of projects. The ECFI-1 OC will have a conference call next week. I will update you on any decisions agreed by the ECFI-1 at that meeting as well as any other relevant developments in regard to the event. In the meantime, I would appreciate any support the EC and the FI-WARE project could provide in promoting the ECFI event towards potential participants. Due to other commitments, I am not available for a conference call this week. Maybe we could have a chat next week after the ECFI-1 OC conference call, where I could update you on the latest status.

Here ? in a staccato approach ? what I believe would be the way forward: 1) Objective: Pitching the Future Internet PPP outcomes (FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops) and what phase 3 holds in terms of opportunities to the Brussels microcosm. 2) The fee of 285 Euro is a deterrent. Can it be lowered to 99 Euro (and reimburse those who have paid)? Can it be waived altogether? 3) A key message is: "The FI-PPP delivers, the product lines FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops are there and work today", celebrate the early 'usages' by phase 2 projects and the hackathons. 4) Key points for the debate could be: What are the challenges to make FI-PPP outcomes sustainable? What are the challenges the fast pace of technological changes pose for FI-Ware? What are non-technical challenges? What needs to be done to make the FI-PPP a success? 5) A FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops ? mini-session should be added to the opening plenary (What is are the products, where are we in the programme, show 1-2 working examples?). Not more than 25 minutes. 6) The input material for the conference needs to be catchy. No point of showing half-baked, technical speak in a format which is not appealing. Again the key message is: The FI-PPP delivers! Then one should expand on the 'products' i.e. FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops and then on the two ?pronged take-up actions. 1) The P2 domain specific large scale trials and the 16 FI Accelerators of P3. I think it is indispensable that FI-WARE connection to Ogilvy is used 110% to produce publishable material before the end of the months (admittedly the website is nice). 7) I would like to write to a number of Commission service to raise interest and invite to attend (I will also ask Mario to write to his peers), including Member states representatives. 8) Equally I would expect that the companies in FI-WARE and the P2 trials will activate their representations in Brussels and the associations they are member of (e.g. DigitalEurope). Also the ETPs, Nessi, Net!Works (and the new 5GPPP), FIRE, Smart City EIP should be pushed as multipliers of the message. Final question: ? While hearing all views, the event now needs somebody who makes the decision, fast and firm, in order to move actions. Who will be that driver where all inputs can be focussed and actions is organised? ? Can we have another phone call towards the end of the week? ? Nuria, would it be possible to activate Ogilvy already now? I wanted to be sharp on the above, of course in the end there is flexibility everywhere as we go along.

I have come back to some of my colleagues, including the Ogilvy team to check the way we could support the ECFI event. We are of course glad to help. As said during the teleconference, FI-WARE is going through its last phase and we are running out of resources; that is why we had to assign some of the remaining resources to those activities where the ROI seems to be higher and in our case these are the ones that target developers and people outside the research community. Nevertheless, there is still some time to work on that. Let me suggest the following actions. ? I attach the FI-WARE proposal for the programme. This includes a presentation in the plenary plus a parallel session where some of the concepts will be extended. The initial presentation will be made by Juanjo, but for the parallel session our idea is to count not only on internal people, but also ?FI-WARE? ambassadors, including cities that have connected to FI-WARE as well as some of the winners of the hackathons (for example from the last edition of Campus Party held in Brazil). Of course names will be confirmed once the session is approved and assuming the do not have to pay the fee (I also sent it to the DWG for consideration by the OC) ? FI-WARE has also confirmed its presence in the exhibition (still details to be sent) It was not easy to confirm this because, as you know, we were working until recently on the basis of the session with the Chamber of Commerce. Assuming that these changes are implemented in the programme then, we could get more engaged in the design and visibility of the event. As said before, FI-WARE can provide suggestions for improvement, but if more time intensive work is needed, then we would need to cover the costs of Ogilvy. This would be specifically required for this type of activities: - new designs of flyer, stands, ... - Material production (for example, if online development is required..) - Coverage of the event if we want to create professional media material (and a team from Ogilvy has to travel there). We did this in ICT event, Smart City Expo, Campus Party London and Campus Party Brazil with very good results The remaining budget has been assigned to the next Campus party, some important political events in Spain and the one we have to organize with the Chambers of Commerce. We are in discussions with FI-CONTENT on how to do it for CeBIT precisely because of limited resources. However, FI-WARE puts at the disposal of anyone in the PPP all the material already created. Links to videos have been distributed and I do not think there is anything against using them on the ECFI website to make it more dynamic, including statements about the FI PPP from relevant people. ? A lot of audiovisual material in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6tA5RY6g04&list=UUbXNGF_hhvKpXdQ1KxzX2HQ Let us know your views.

Hierro" Subject: Re: FI-WARE proposals for ECFI_v2_REACTION FROM FI-WARE ASAP!! Dear Nuria, I believe I had already explained my position in this respect. I believe that moving a general presentation on FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab to Day 2 does not work and, I would add more, goes against the approach that Peter Fatelning asked CONCORD to follow for the event (see text marked in red of the long thread of emails linked to this discussion that was attached by Nuria). Actually, he literally said that the two following points had to be taken into account in the re-design of the event: 3) A key message is: "The FI-PPP delivers, the product lines FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops are there and work today", celebrate the early 'usages' by phase 2 projects and the hackathons. ... 5) A FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops ? mini-session should be added to the opening plenary (What is are the products, where are we in the programme, show 1-2 working examples?). Not more than 25 minutes. His advice in this respect, which was complementary to ours, has simply been ignored. I frankly do not understand why introducing a slot of 20 minutes (which, btw, was initially taken into consideration because they asked us about a keynote speech by our CEO, Carlos Domingo) is so difficult ... BTW ... it doesn't need to be me actually who make that speech. It could be some top executive of some of the partners if it looks more suitable. On the other hand, I don't see that there has been any reaction to the point of dropping the fee of 285?. This was labeled as "deterrent" by Peter Fatelnig. Bottom line, I would answer the following way: === Dear Milon, I regret to say that our feeling is that your proposal goes against the principles that should guide the re-design of the program IMHO. Those principles were very well summarized by Peter Fatelnig in his mail of February 18. By the way, we wonder whether you still propose keeping a fee of 285? to attendees which we also find deterrent. Under the current circumstances and given the short time to settle down all the disparate views on the design of the program, we would propose to cancel the event. Looking for another dates and a design of the event which a) doesn't require to ask for a high fee to attendees and b) can be organized activating the network of contacts of phase 3 projects, look like a good rationale you can give to people who had already registered.

Initial proposal by FI-WARE was based on a session organized by the Chamber of Commerce (targeting CoC and Committee of the regions). We sent these contributions before Xmas ? Then, FI-WARE decided to withdraw from this option because of the conditions of ECFI (limited attendees, a fee of al almost 300 euro that was incompatible with the objectives of the workshop proposed by the CoC, too short sessions (we had 1,5h instead of 5h?). ?

Some days ago both the EC and Ilka (FI PPP chair) agreed on giving FI-WARE/FI-LAB/FIOPS more visibility and based on that FI-WARE pushed for a presentation in the plenary session of day 1. ? I drafted the descriptions based on my discussions with Juanjo and previous background (I attached the last version sent to the DWG).

The ECFI-1 organising committee (OC) agreed to most of what you proposed. The description of your parallel session on ?Open APIs and Open Minds" is already online at http://www.ecfi.eu/programme-brussels2014/session-10/ Concerning your request to have a 30-min plenary presentation on "FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab", the participating OC members (including representatives from FINESCE, FIspace, FI-CONTENT, and XIFI) unanimously agreed after a comprehensive discussion of the different aspects that it would not be feasible/beneficial to shorten the lunch break on day 1, as you had suggested, in order to insert this session. The lunch break on day 1 is a crucial time for participants to explore the exhibition. Shortening the lunch break from 90 min to 60 min would seriously reduce the interaction at the booths/demos, which is one of the important aspects of the event. The second reason is that the OC considered it more appropriate to dedicate a full hour (instead of 30 min) of plenary time to an important topic like " FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab", which is only feasible on day 2. In addition, the longer duration will also make it possible to have a XIFI representative present FI-OPs and have some time for Q&A. Thus, I ask for your understanding that the OC scheduled the proposed plenary session for the morning of day 2. The draft description is online at http://www.ecfi.eu/session-9/ In order to finalise the session agenda, I would like to ask you to coordinate with Monique from XIFI. In addition to organising these 2 sessions, I would ask for FI-WARE's support in actively promoting ECFI Brussels over the next few weeks, in order to attract a good number of participants to our joint FI-PPP event.

I have added the three logos; still they should not only appear in the session description but in the overall programme ? I have added agenda and speakers to the session (the parallel workshop) keeping the explanations to guide attendees about the content (of course now I have to confirm speakers) Be aware that in previous discussions both the EC (Peter) and Ilka agreed to have a FI-WARE/FI-LABS/FI-OPS presentation at the beginning of the programme (beginning of the conference means day 1).

The ensuing DWG e-mail discussion according to my understanding showed that your original proposal had neglected the FI-OPs part, and I think you had agreed to work together with the XIFI people to work on a revised version of your original proposal. Your draft proposal has been lacking necessary details like envisaged speakers and, thus, needs to be revised anyhow. It would be good, if you could send a revised draft to the DWG by Monday morning, 24 February, 11:00, so we could consider it in the ECFI-1 OC call. Just to make this clear: after the agreement in the DWG, the ECFI-1 OC will not discuss whether to have a plenary session and a parallel session organised by FI-WARE or not, but only how and when it should happen. This requires, of course, that FI-WARE delivers the required agendas, including speakers, for both sessions soon. Without preempting the ECFI-1 OC call discussion, I daresay that accommodating your wish to have the FI-WARE organised plenary session in the morning of day 1 is hardly feasible, as this would require un-inviting high-level speakers who add value to the conference programme and who took months to secure.

In addition to the conference programme, the FI-WARE project will have plenty of opportunities for presenting FI-WARE, FI-LAB and FI-OPs in the exhibition. Please send me the description of the FI-WARE stand at your earliest convenience. In addition, I would appreciate, if FI-WARE could mobilise its PR forces to promote the event.

Here ? in a staccato approach ? what I believe would be the way forward: 1) Objective: Pitching the Future Internet PPP outcomes (FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops) and what phase 3 holds in terms of opportunities to the Brussels microcosm. 2) The fee of 285 Euro is a deterrent. Can it be lowered to 99 Euro (and reimburse those who have paid)? Can it be waived altogether? 3) A key message is: "The FI-PPP delivers, the product lines FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops are there and work today", celebrate the early 'usages' by phase 2 projects and the hackathons. 4) Key points for the debate could be: What are the challenges to make FI-PPP outcomes sustainable? What are the challenges the fast pace of technological changes pose for FI-Ware? What are non-technical challenges? What needs to be done to make the FI-PPP a success? 5) A FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops ? mini-session should be added to the opening plenary (What is are the products, where are we in the programme, show 1-2 working examples?). Not more than 25 minutes. 6) The input material for the conference needs to be catchy. No point of showing half-baked, technical speak in a format which is not appealing. Again the key message is: The FI-PPP delivers! Then one should expand on the 'products' i.e. FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops and then on the two ?pronged take-up actions. 1) The P2 domain specific large scale trials and the 16 FI Accelerators of P3. I think it is indispensable that FI-WARE connection to Ogilvy is used 110% to produce publishable material before the end of the months (admittedly the website is nice). 7) I would like to write to a number of Commission service to raise interest and invite to attend (I will also ask Mario to write to his peers), including Member states representatives. 8) Equally I would expect that the companies in FI-WARE and the P2 trials will activate their representations in Brussels and the associations they are member of (e.g. DigitalEurope). Also the ETPs, Nessi, Net!Works (and the new 5GPPP), FIRE, Smart City EIP should be pushed as multipliers of the message. Final question: ? While hearing all views, the event now needs somebody who makes the decision, fast and firm, in order to move actions. Who will be that driver where all inputs can be focussed and actions is organised? ? Can we have another phone call towards the end of the week? ? Nuria, would it be possible to activate Ogilvy already now? I wanted to be sharp on the above, of course in the end there is flexibility everywhere as we go along.

I have come back to some of my colleagues, including the Ogilvy team to check the way we could support the ECFI event. We are of course glad to help. As said during the teleconference, FI-WARE is going through its last phase and we are running out of resources; that is why we had to assign some of the remaining resources to those activities where the ROI seems to be higher and in our case these are the ones that target developers and people outside the research community. Nevertheless, there is still some time to work on that. Let me suggest the following actions. ? I attach the FI-WARE proposal for the programme. This includes a presentation in the plenary plus a parallel session where some of the concepts will be extended. The initial presentation will be made by Juanjo, but for the parallel session our idea is to count not only on internal people, but also ?FI-WARE? ambassadors, including cities that have connected to FI-WARE as well as some of the winners of the hackathons (for example from the last edition of Campus Party held in Brazil). Of course names will be confirmed once the session is approved and assuming the do not have to pay the fee (I also sent it to the DWG for consideration by the OC) ? FI-WARE has also confirmed its presence in the exhibition (still details to be sent) It was not easy to confirm this because, as you know, we were working until recently on the basis of the session with the Chamber of Commerce. Assuming that these changes are implemented in the programme then, we could get more engaged in the design and visibility of the event. As said before, FI-WARE can provide suggestions for improvement, but if more time intensive work is needed, then we would need to cover the costs of Ogilvy. This would be specifically required for this type of activities: - new designs of flyer, stands, ... - Material production (for example, if online development is required..) - Coverage of the event if we want to create professional media material (and a team from Ogilvy has to travel there). We did this in ICT event, Smart City Expo, Campus Party London and Campus Party Brazil with very good results The remaining budget has been assigned to the next Campus party, some important political events in Spain and the one we have to organize with the Chambers of Commerce. We are in discussions with FI-CONTENT on how to do it for CeBIT precisely because of limited resources. However, FI-WARE puts at the disposal of anyone in the PPP all the material already created. Links to videos have been distributed and I do not think there is anything against using them on the ECFI website to make it more dynamic, including statements about the FI PPP from relevant people. ? A lot of audiovisual material in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6tA5RY6g04&list=UUbXNGF_hhvKpXdQ1KxzX2HQ Let us know your views.

Hierro" Subject: Re: FI-WARE proposals for ECFI_v2_REACTION FROM FI-WARE ASAP!! Dear Nuria, I believe I had already explained my position in this respect. I believe that moving a general presentation on FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab to Day 2 does not work and, I would add more, goes against the approach that Peter Fatelning asked CONCORD to follow for the event (see text marked in red of the long thread of emails linked to this discussion that was attached by Nuria). Actually, he literally said that the two following points had to be taken into account in the re-design of the event: 3) A key message is: "The FI-PPP delivers, the product lines FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops are there and work today", celebrate the early 'usages' by phase 2 projects and the hackathons. ... 5) A FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops ? mini-session should be added to the opening plenary (What is are the products, where are we in the programme, show 1-2 working examples?). Not more than 25 minutes. His advice in this respect, which was complementary to ours, has simply been ignored. I frankly do not understand why introducing a slot of 20 minutes (which, btw, was initially taken into consideration because they asked us about a keynote speech by our CEO, Carlos Domingo) is so difficult ... BTW ... it doesn't need to be me actually who make that speech. It could be some top executive of some of the partners if it looks more suitable. On the other hand, I don't see that there has been any reaction to the point of dropping the fee of 285?. This was labeled as "deterrent" by Peter Fatelnig. Bottom line, I would answer the following way: === Dear Milon, I regret to say that our feeling is that your proposal goes against the principles that should guide the re-design of the program IMHO. Those principles were very well summarized by Peter Fatelnig in his mail of February 18. By the way, we wonder whether you still propose keeping a fee of 285? to attendees which we also find deterrent. Under the current circumstances and given the short time to settle down all the disparate views on the design of the program, we would propose to cancel the event. Looking for another dates and a design of the event which a) doesn't require to ask for a high fee to attendees and b) can be organized activating the network of contacts of phase 3 projects, look like a good rationale you can give to people who had already registered.

An urgent decision has to be made by us; therefore, read this e-mail and tell me which message I should transmit on behalf of the project. ? Initial proposal by FI-WARE was based on a session organized by the Chamber of Commerce (targeting CoC and Committee of the regions). We sent these contributions before Xmas ? Then, FI-WARE decided to withdraw from this option because of the conditions of ECFI (limited attendees, a fee of al almost 300 euro that was incompatible with the objectives of the workshop proposed by the CoC, too short sessions (we had 1,5h instead of 5h?). ? Based on this decision FI-WARE disappeared from the programme, and we came later to the organizing committee with a new proposal ? As some of you may know, in this group people are not very flexible, and therefore, despite our willingness to improve the current programme and perception of the event, it is being quite difficult to go forward with our plans. Some days ago both the EC and Ilka (FI PPP chair) agreed on giving FI-WARE/FI-LAB/FIOPS more visibility and based on that FI-WARE pushed for a presentation in the plenary session of day 1. ? I drafted the descriptions based on my discussions with Juanjo and previous background (I attached the last version sent to the DWG). The proposal includes the aforementioned presentation in the plenary as well as a parallel workshop. ? While the workshop has been accepted by the OC, they only provide us the option of a presentation on Day 2 (see decision by the OC sent to me today) ? I need to react from the FI-WARE side with a common view (and not a personal opinion).

The ECFI-1 organising committee (OC) agreed to most of what you proposed. The description of your parallel session on ?Open APIs and Open Minds" is already online at http://www.ecfi.eu/programme-brussels2014/session-10/ Concerning your request to have a 30-min plenary presentation on "FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab", the participating OC members (including representatives from FINESCE, FIspace, FI-CONTENT, and XIFI) unanimously agreed after a comprehensive discussion of the different aspects that it would not be feasible/beneficial to shorten the lunch break on day 1, as you had suggested, in order to insert this session. The lunch break on day 1 is a crucial time for participants to explore the exhibition. Shortening the lunch break from 90 min to 60 min would seriously reduce the interaction at the booths/demos, which is one of the important aspects of the event. The second reason is that the OC considered it more appropriate to dedicate a full hour (instead of 30 min) of plenary time to an important topic like " FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab", which is only feasible on day 2. In addition, the longer duration will also make it possible to have a XIFI representative present FI-OPs and have some time for Q&A. Thus, I ask for your understanding that the OC scheduled the proposed plenary session for the morning of day 2. The draft description is online at http://www.ecfi.eu/session-9/ In order to finalise the session agenda, I would like to ask you to coordinate with Monique from XIFI. In addition to organising these 2 sessions, I would ask for FI-WARE's support in actively promoting ECFI Brussels over the next few weeks, in order to attract a good number of participants to our joint FI-PPP event.

I have changed the title of the plenary presentation to reflect the three brands more explicitly and it was initially proposed by Juanjo ? I have added the three logos; still they should not only appear in the session description but in the overall programme ? I have added agenda and speakers to the session (the parallel workshop) keeping the explanations to guide attendees about the content (of course now I have to confirm speakers) Be aware that in previous discussions both the EC (Peter) and Ilka agreed to have a FI-WARE/FI-LABS/FI-OPS presentation at the beginning of the programme (beginning of the conference means day 1).

The ensuing DWG e-mail discussion according to my understanding showed that your original proposal had neglected the FI-OPs part, and I think you had agreed to work together with the XIFI people to work on a revised version of your original proposal. Your draft proposal has been lacking necessary details like envisaged speakers and, thus, needs to be revised anyhow. It would be good, if you could send a revised draft to the DWG by Monday morning, 24 February, 11:00, so we could consider it in the ECFI-1 OC call. Just to make this clear: after the agreement in the DWG, the ECFI-1 OC will not discuss whether to have a plenary session and a parallel session organised by FI-WARE or not, but only how and when it should happen. This requires, of course, that FI-WARE delivers the required agendas, including speakers, for both sessions soon. Without preempting the ECFI-1 OC call discussion, I daresay that accommodating your wish to have the FI-WARE organised plenary session in the morning of day 1 is hardly feasible, as this would require un-inviting high-level speakers who add value to the conference programme and who took months to secure. Thus, my proposal to the ECFI-1 OC, which I had already explained at the last DWG call, has been to start day 2 with the FI-WARE organised plenary session. In addition to the conference programme, the FI-WARE project will have plenty of opportunities for presenting FI-WARE, FI-LAB and FI-OPs in the exhibition. Please send me the description of the FI-WARE stand at your earliest convenience. In addition, I would appreciate, if FI-WARE could mobilise its PR forces to promote the event. As you can see, there is a lot of actions you can take right now - there is absolutely no reason for you to wait for outcomes of the next organising committee call.

I think the position of FI-WARE is clear: ? I welcome the agreement by the EC and Ilka on the plenary session showing that the three brands FI-WARE/FI-LAB/FI-OPS are up and running ? I understand that for both the plenary session and the parallel workshop we have to wait until the Organizing committee agrees on that and approves the contents formally. Be aware that I will not start preparing anything until I get confirmation ? Then, involvement of Ogilvy can happen, but their assignment of resources is very much planned, and as I pointed out, some works can be done but would require CONCORD to pay unless we talk about minor works. For example, some support to design could be given, but if we want new material to be created or to provide media coverage of the event, this would have to be covered (as said, we have assigned this kind of resources to external events that can have more impact at commercial level). If this is not feasible you can always rely on a lot of things that have been done.

What needs to be done to make the FI-PPP a success? 5) A FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops ? mini-session should be added to the opening plenary (What is are the products, where are we in the programme, show 1-2 working examples?). Not more than 25 minutes. 6) The input material for the conference needs to be catchy. No point of showing half-baked, technical speak in a format which is not appealing. Again the key message is: The FI-PPP delivers! Then one should expand on the 'products' i.e. FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops and then on the two ?pronged take-up actions. 1) The P2 domain specific large scale trials and the 16 FI Accelerators of P3. I think it is indispensable that FI-WARE connection to Ogilvy is used 110% to produce publishable material before the end of the months (admittedly the website is nice). 7) I would like to write to a number of Commission service to raise interest and invite to attend (I will also ask Mario to write to his peers), including Member states representatives. 8) Equally I would expect that the companies in FI-WARE and the P2 trials will activate their representations in Brussels and the associations they are member of (e.g. DigitalEurope). Also the ETPs, Nessi, Net!Works (and the new 5GPPP), FIRE, Smart City EIP should be pushed as multipliers of the message. Final question: ? While hearing all views, the event now needs somebody who makes the decision, fast and firm, in order to move actions. Who will be that driver where all inputs can be focussed and actions is organised? ? Can we have another phone call towards the end of the week? ? Nuria, would it be possible to activate Ogilvy already now? I wanted to be sharp on the above, of course in the end there is flexibility everywhere as we go along.

I have come back to some of my colleagues, including the Ogilvy team to check the way we could support the ECFI event. We are of course glad to help. As said during the teleconference, FI-WARE is going through its last phase and we are running out of resources; that is why we had to assign some of the remaining resources to those activities where the ROI seems to be higher and in our case these are the ones that target developers and people outside the research community. Nevertheless, there is still some time to work on that. Let me suggest the following actions. ? I attach the FI-WARE proposal for the programme. This includes a presentation in the plenary plus a parallel session where some of the concepts will be extended. The initial presentation will be made by Juanjo, but for the parallel session our idea is to count not only on internal people, but also ?FI-WARE? ambassadors, including cities that have connected to FI-WARE as well as some of the winners of the hackathons (for example from the last edition of Campus Party held in Brazil). Of course names will be confirmed once the session is approved and assuming the do not have to pay the fee (I also sent it to the DWG for consideration by the OC) ? FI-WARE has also confirmed its presence in the exhibition (still details to be sent) It was not easy to confirm this because, as you know, we were working until recently on the basis of the session with the Chamber of Commerce. Assuming that these changes are implemented in the programme then, we could get more engaged in the design and visibility of the event. As said before, FI-WARE can provide suggestions for improvement, but if more time intensive work is needed, then we would need to cover the costs of Ogilvy. This would be specifically required for this type of activities: - new designs of flyer, stands, ... - Material production (for example, if online development is required..) - Coverage of the event if we want to create professional media material (and a team from Ogilvy has to travel there). We did this in ICT event, Smart City Expo, Campus Party London and Campus Party Brazil with very good results The remaining budget has been assigned to the next Campus party, some important political events in Spain and the one we have to organize with the Chambers of Commerce. We are in discussions with FI-CONTENT on how to do it for CeBIT precisely because of limited resources. However, FI-WARE puts at the disposal of anyone in the PPP all the material already created. Links to videos have been distributed and I do not think there is anything against using them on the ECFI website to make it more dynamic, including statements about the FI PPP from relevant people. ?

As ?Nuria? my position is exactly the same than the one explained by Juanjo, but since I will be the person in charge of sending this kind of message (that includes ?Under the current circumstances and given the short time to settle down all the disparate views on the design of the program, we would propose to cancel the event. ?) and I will create many enemies I want to be 100% sure that this is the position shared by all partners in the PCC.

Hierro" Subject: Re: FI-WARE proposals for ECFI_v2_REACTION FROM FI-WARE ASAP!! Dear Nuria, I believe I had already explained my position in this respect. I believe that moving a general presentation on FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab to Day 2 does not work and, I would add more, goes against the approach that Peter Fatelning asked CONCORD to follow for the event (see text marked in red of the long thread of emails linked to this discussion that was attached by Nuria). Actually, he literally said that the two following points had to be taken into account in the re-design of the event: 3) A key message is: "The FI-PPP delivers, the product lines FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops are there and work today", celebrate the early 'usages' by phase 2 projects and the hackathons. ... 5) A FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops ? mini-session should be added to the opening plenary (What is are the products, where are we in the programme, show 1-2 working examples?). Not more than 25 minutes. His advice in this respect, which was complementary to ours, has simply been ignored. I frankly do not understand why introducing a slot of 20 minutes (which, btw, was initially taken into consideration because they asked us about a keynote speech by our CEO, Carlos Domingo) is so difficult ... BTW ... it doesn't need to be me actually who make that speech. It could be some top executive of some of the partners if it looks more suitable. On the other hand, I don't see that there has been any reaction to the point of dropping the fee of 285?. This was labeled as "deterrent" by Peter Fatelnig. Bottom line, I would answer the following way: === Dear Milon, I regret to say that our feeling is that your proposal goes against the principles that should guide the re-design of the program IMHO. Those principles were very well summarized by Peter Fatelnig in his mail of February 18. By the way, we wonder whether you still propose keeping a fee of 285? to attendees which we also find deterrent. Under the current circumstances and given the short time to settle down all the disparate views on the design of the program, we would propose to cancel the event. Looking for another dates and a design of the event which a) doesn't require to ask for a high fee to attendees and b) can be organized activating the network of contacts of phase 3 projects, look like a good rationale you can give to people who had already registered.

An urgent decision has to be made by us; therefore, read this e-mail and tell me which message I should transmit on behalf of the project. ? Initial proposal by FI-WARE was based on a session organized by the Chamber of Commerce (targeting CoC and Committee of the regions). We sent these contributions before Xmas ? Then, FI-WARE decided to withdraw from this option because of the conditions of ECFI (limited attendees, a fee of al almost 300 euro that was incompatible with the objectives of the workshop proposed by the CoC, too short sessions (we had 1,5h instead of 5h?). ? Based on this decision FI-WARE disappeared from the programme, and we came later to the organizing committee with a new proposal ? As some of you may know, in this group people are not very flexible, and therefore, despite our willingness to improve the current programme and perception of the event, it is being quite difficult to go forward with our plans. Some days ago both the EC and Ilka (FI PPP chair) agreed on giving FI-WARE/FI-LAB/FIOPS more visibility and based on that FI-WARE pushed for a presentation in the plenary session of day 1. ? I drafted the descriptions based on my discussions with Juanjo and previous background (I attached the last version sent to the DWG). The proposal includes the aforementioned presentation in the plenary as well as a parallel workshop. ? While the workshop has been accepted by the OC, they only provide us the option of a presentation on Day 2 (see decision by the OC sent to me today) ? I need to react from the FI-WARE side with a common view (and not a personal opinion). I should do this ASAP Please, see rational of the OC below and tell me what is your position as member of the FI-WARE PCC. Juanjo, your views as coordinator are essential.

The ECFI-1 organising committee (OC) agreed to most of what you proposed. The description of your parallel session on ?Open APIs and Open Minds" is already online at http://www.ecfi.eu/programme-brussels2014/session-10/ Concerning your request to have a 30-min plenary presentation on "FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab", the participating OC members (including representatives from FINESCE, FIspace, FI-CONTENT, and XIFI) unanimously agreed after a comprehensive discussion of the different aspects that it would not be feasible/beneficial to shorten the lunch break on day 1, as you had suggested, in order to insert this session. The lunch break on day 1 is a crucial time for participants to explore the exhibition. Shortening the lunch break from 90 min to 60 min would seriously reduce the interaction at the booths/demos, which is one of the important aspects of the event. The second reason is that the OC considered it more appropriate to dedicate a full hour (instead of 30 min) of plenary time to an important topic like " FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab", which is only feasible on day 2. In addition, the longer duration will also make it possible to have a XIFI representative present FI-OPs and have some time for Q&A. Thus, I ask for your understanding that the OC scheduled the proposed plenary session for the morning of day 2. The draft description is online at http://www.ecfi.eu/session-9/ In order to finalise the session agenda, I would like to ask you to coordinate with Monique from XIFI. In addition to organising these 2 sessions, I would ask for FI-WARE's support in actively promoting ECFI Brussels over the next few weeks, in order to attract a good number of participants to our joint FI-PPP event.

Find attached version 2 of the proposal that includes the following changes wrt v1. ? I have changed the title of the plenary presentation to reflect the three brands more explicitly and it was initially proposed by Juanjo ? I have added the three logos; still they should not only appear in the session description but in the overall programme ? I have added agenda and speakers to the session (the parallel workshop) keeping the explanations to guide attendees about the content (of course now I have to confirm speakers) Be aware that in previous discussions both the EC (Peter) and Ilka agreed to have a FI-WARE/FI-LABS/FI-OPS presentation at the beginning of the programme (beginning of the conference means day 1). Checking the existing programme I think this could be well accommodated by delaying lunch 30 minutes, which seems reasonable because it would still be typical Brussels lunch time.

The ensuing DWG e-mail discussion according to my understanding showed that your original proposal had neglected the FI-OPs part, and I think you had agreed to work together with the XIFI people to work on a revised version of your original proposal. Your draft proposal has been lacking necessary details like envisaged speakers and, thus, needs to be revised anyhow. It would be good, if you could send a revised draft to the DWG by Monday morning, 24 February, 11:00, so we could consider it in the ECFI-1 OC call. Just to make this clear: after the agreement in the DWG, the ECFI-1 OC will not discuss whether to have a plenary session and a parallel session organised by FI-WARE or not, but only how and when it should happen. This requires, of course, that FI-WARE delivers the required agendas, including speakers, for both sessions soon. Without preempting the ECFI-1 OC call discussion, I daresay that accommodating your wish to have the FI-WARE organised plenary session in the morning of day 1 is hardly feasible, as this would require un-inviting high-level speakers who add value to the conference programme and who took months to secure. Thus, my proposal to the ECFI-1 OC, which I had already explained at the last DWG call, has been to start day 2 with the FI-WARE organised plenary session. In addition to the conference programme, the FI-WARE project will have plenty of opportunities for presenting FI-WARE, FI-LAB and FI-OPs in the exhibition. Please send me the description of the FI-WARE stand at your earliest convenience. In addition, I would appreciate, if FI-WARE could mobilise its PR forces to promote the event. As you can see, there is a lot of actions you can take right now - there is absolutely no reason for you to wait for outcomes of the next organising committee call.

I think the position of FI-WARE is clear: ? I welcome the agreement by the EC and Ilka on the plenary session showing that the three brands FI-WARE/FI-LAB/FI-OPS are up and running ? I understand that for both the plenary session and the parallel workshop we have to wait until the Organizing committee agrees on that and approves the contents formally. Be aware that I will not start preparing anything until I get confirmation ? Then, involvement of Ogilvy can happen, but their assignment of resources is very much planned, and as I pointed out, some works can be done but would require CONCORD to pay unless we talk about minor works. For example, some support to design could be given, but if we want new material to be created or to provide media coverage of the event, this would have to be covered (as said, we have assigned this kind of resources to external events that can have more impact at commercial level). If this is not feasible you can always rely on a lot of things that have been done. FI-WARE has elaborated quite a lot of material for different events: we have the generic ones and the ones focused on smart cities (brochures, posters?). Additionally we count on a channel fed with lots of videos recorded in different events (UK; Lithuania, Spain, Brazil?).

A lot of audiovisual material in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6tA5RY6g04&list=UUbXNGF_hhvKpXdQ1KxzX2HQ Let us know your views.

At this point the event has no clear and agreed message to convey nor atrget audience (what and for whom), is late in dissemination (an event like this should be announced a year before), and does not have yet a clear agenda and named invited speakers (all of this should be know about 6 months in advance). Under the above outlined circumstances we wonder whether it would be better to cancel the event. We will be happy to cooperate and being involved in: a) looking for other dates, the current dates just before the elections will not assure the rigth political attendance and attention both at mp and commission levels b) designin and event which doesn't require to ask for a high fee to attendees c) well activating the network of contacts of phase 3 projects whioch in turn looks like a good rationale you can give to people who had already registered." ciao, stefano 2014-02-25 10:39 GMT+01:00 Juanjo Hierro : > > May be a way to smooth the second sentence would be to say (see change > in green): > > Under the current circumstances and given the short time to settle down > all the disparate views on the design of the program, we wonder whether > it would be better to cancel the event.

Based on all your answers this is the e-mail that I will send right now (see notes below) Dear Milon, I regret to say that our feeling is that your proposal goes against the principles that should guide the re-design of the program IMHO. Those principles were very well summarized by Peter Fatelnig in his mail of February 18. By the way, we wonder whether you still propose keeping a fee of 285? to attendees which we also find deterrent. Under the current circumstances and given the short time to settle down all the disparate views on the design of the program, we wonder whether it would be better to cancel the event. Looking for other dates and a design of the event which a) doesn't require to ask for a high fee to attendees and b) can be organized activating the network of contacts of phase 3 projects, look like a good rationale you can give to people who had already registered. Best regards, Note; be aware that some of the statements mentioned by Stefano cannot be used: responsibility regarding the success of ECFI is shared by all projects. We are not in the OC, but because we did not want (remember that many months ago I offered this possibility to all of you). Then, many aspects have been discussed in the DWG. I must say that my position has always been the same in that group and it is coherent. The reason of time cannot be used. They started to prepare this event long time ago (you can simply check my first e-mails on the subject)- In fact, what they argue is that FI-WARE reacts too late and that is the reason why they cannot change the agenda on the first day. FI-WARE participation was based on a workshop organized by the CoC submitted in December. The cancellation of this workshop let the project in a stand-by situation without a clear position in the event. Our proposal now could help in giving a clear focus and message to ECFI, but was only partially accepted. Thanks to all for your contributions.

At this point the event has no clear and agreed message to convey nor atrget audience (what and for whom), is late in dissemination (an event like this should be announced a year before), and does not have yet a clear agenda and named invited speakers (all of this should be know about 6 months in advance). Under the above outlined circumstances we wonder whether it would be better to cancel the event. We will be happy to cooperate and being involved in: a) looking for other dates, the current dates just before the elections will not assure the rigth political attendance and attention both at mp and commission levels b) designin and event which doesn't require to ask for a high fee to attendees c) well activating the network of contacts of phase 3 projects whioch in turn looks like a good rationale you can give to people who had already registered." ciao, stefano 2014-02-25 10:39 GMT+01:00 Juanjo Hierro >: May be a way to smooth the second sentence would be to say (see change in green): Under the current circumstances and given the short time to settle down all the disparate views on the design of the program, we wonder whether it would be better to cancel the event. Looking for another dates and a design of the event which a) doesn't require to ask for a high fee to attendees and b) can be organized activating the network of contacts of phase 3 projects, look like a good rationale you can give to people who had already registered. We would be giving our opinion (better to cancel the event and try to organize it better with more time) but still leaving the decision on their side. But, anyways, I'm fine with whatever is agreed. (note: the fact that I'm encouraging to cancel the event is because I rather believe that it is the best for the program, not just FI-WARE, it's not because I love the idea of canceling it) Best regards, -- Juanjo ------------- Product Development and Innovation (PDI) - Telefonica Digital website: www.tid.es email: jhierro at tid.es twitter: twitter.com/JuanjoHierro FI-WARE (European Future Internet Core Platform) Coordinator and Chief Architect FI-PPP Architecture Board chairman You can follow FI-WARE at: website: http://www.fi-ware.eu facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/FI-WARE/251366491587242 twitter: http://twitter.com/FIware linkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/groups/FIWARE-4239932 On 25/02/14 10:14, Garino Pierangelo wrote: Hi All, I?m fully aligned with the opinion of Nuria, and I personally share the strong position expressed by Juanjo?s mail, but expressing such a radical position in an official way would probably create many negative effects around FI-WARE.

I believe that moving a general presentation on FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab to Day 2 does not work and, I would add more, goes against the approach that Peter Fatelning asked CONCORD to follow for the event (see text marked in red of the long thread of emails linked to this discussion that was attached by Nuria). Actually, he literally said that the two following points had to be taken into account in the re-design of the event: 3) A key message is: "The FI-PPP delivers, the product lines FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops are there and work today", celebrate the early 'usages' by phase 2 projects and the hackathons. ... 5) A FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops ? mini-session should be added to the opening plenary (What is are the products, where are we in the programme, show 1-2 working examples?). Not more than 25 minutes. His advice in this respect, which was complementary to ours, has simply been ignored. I frankly do not understand why introducing a slot of 20 minutes (which, btw, was initially taken into consideration because they asked us about a keynote speech by our CEO, Carlos Domingo) is so difficult ... BTW ... it doesn't need to be me actually who make that speech. It could be some top executive of some of the partners if it looks more suitable. On the other hand, I don't see that there has been any reaction to the point of dropping the fee of 285?. This was labeled as "deterrent" by Peter Fatelnig. Bottom line, I would answer the following way: === Dear Milon, I regret to say that our feeling is that your proposal goes against the principles that should guide the re-design of the program IMHO.

An urgent decision has to be made by us; therefore, read this e-mail and tell me which message I should transmit on behalf of the project. ? Initial proposal by FI-WARE was based on a session organized by the Chamber of Commerce (targeting CoC and Committee of the regions). We sent these contributions before Xmas ? Then, FI-WARE decided to withdraw from this option because of the conditions of ECFI (limited attendees, a fee of al almost 300 euro that was incompatible with the objectives of the workshop proposed by the CoC, too short sessions (we had 1,5h instead of 5h?). ? Based on this decision FI-WARE disappeared from the programme, and we came later to the organizing committee with a new proposal ? As some of you may know, in this group people are not very flexible, and therefore, despite our willingness to improve the current programme and perception of the event, it is being quite difficult to go forward with our plans. Some days ago both the EC and Ilka (FI PPP chair) agreed on giving FI-WARE/FI-LAB/FIOPS more visibility and based on that FI-WARE pushed for a presentation in the plenary session of day 1. ? I drafted the descriptions based on my discussions with Juanjo and previous background (I attached the last version sent to the DWG). The proposal includes the aforementioned presentation in the plenary as well as a parallel workshop. ? While the workshop has been accepted by the OC, they only provide us the option of a presentation on Day 2 (see decision by the OC sent to me today) ? I need to react from the FI-WARE side with a common view (and not a personal opinion). I should do this ASAP Please, see rational of the OC below and tell me what is your position as member of the FI-WARE PCC. Juanjo, your views as coordinator are essential.

The ECFI-1 organising committee (OC) agreed to most of what you proposed. The description of your parallel session on ?Open APIs and Open Minds" is already online at http://www.ecfi.eu/programme-brussels2014/session-10/ Concerning your request to have a 30-min plenary presentation on "FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab", the participating OC members (including representatives from FINESCE, FIspace, FI-CONTENT, and XIFI) unanimously agreed after a comprehensive discussion of the different aspects that it would not be feasible/beneficial to shorten the lunch break on day 1, as you had suggested, in order to insert this session. The lunch break on day 1 is a crucial time for participants to explore the exhibition. Shortening the lunch break from 90 min to 60 min would seriously reduce the interaction at the booths/demos, which is one of the important aspects of the event. The second reason is that the OC considered it more appropriate to dedicate a full hour (instead of 30 min) of plenary time to an important topic like " FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab", which is only feasible on day 2. In addition, the longer duration will also make it possible to have a XIFI representative present FI-OPs and have some time for Q&A. Thus, I ask for your understanding that the OC scheduled the proposed plenary session for the morning of day 2. The draft description is online at http://www.ecfi.eu/session-9/ In order to finalise the session agenda, I would like to ask you to coordinate with Monique from XIFI. In addition to organising these 2 sessions, I would ask for FI-WARE's support in actively promoting ECFI Brussels over the next few weeks, in order to attract a good number of participants to our joint FI-PPP event.

Find attached version 2 of the proposal that includes the following changes wrt v1. ? I have changed the title of the plenary presentation to reflect the three brands more explicitly and it was initially proposed by Juanjo ? I have added the three logos; still they should not only appear in the session description but in the overall programme ? I have added agenda and speakers to the session (the parallel workshop) keeping the explanations to guide attendees about the content (of course now I have to confirm speakers) Be aware that in previous discussions both the EC (Peter) and Ilka agreed to have a FI-WARE/FI-LABS/FI-OPS presentation at the beginning of the programme (beginning of the conference means day 1). Checking the existing programme I think this could be well accommodated by delaying lunch 30 minutes, which seems reasonable because it would still be typical Brussels lunch time.

The ensuing DWG e-mail discussion according to my understanding showed that your original proposal had neglected the FI-OPs part, and I think you had agreed to work together with the XIFI people to work on a revised version of your original proposal. Your draft proposal has been lacking necessary details like envisaged speakers and, thus, needs to be revised anyhow. It would be good, if you could send a revised draft to the DWG by Monday morning, 24 February, 11:00, so we could consider it in the ECFI-1 OC call. Just to make this clear: after the agreement in the DWG, the ECFI-1 OC will not discuss whether to have a plenary session and a parallel session organised by FI-WARE or not, but only how and when it should happen. This requires, of course, that FI-WARE delivers the required agendas, including speakers, for both sessions soon. Without preempting the ECFI-1 OC call discussion, I daresay that accommodating your wish to have the FI-WARE organised plenary session in the morning of day 1 is hardly feasible, as this would require un-inviting high-level speakers who add value to the conference programme and who took months to secure. Thus, my proposal to the ECFI-1 OC, which I had already explained at the last DWG call, has been to start day 2 with the FI-WARE organised plenary session. In addition to the conference programme, the FI-WARE project will have plenty of opportunities for presenting FI-WARE, FI-LAB and FI-OPs in the exhibition. Please send me the description of the FI-WARE stand at your earliest convenience. In addition, I would appreciate, if FI-WARE could mobilise its PR forces to promote the event. As you can see, there is a lot of actions you can take right now - there is absolutely no reason for you to wait for outcomes of the next organising committee call.

I think the position of FI-WARE is clear: ? I welcome the agreement by the EC and Ilka on the plenary session showing that the three brands FI-WARE/FI-LAB/FI-OPS are up and running ? I understand that for both the plenary session and the parallel workshop we have to wait until the Organizing committee agrees on that and approves the contents formally. Be aware that I will not start preparing anything until I get confirmation ? Then, involvement of Ogilvy can happen, but their assignment of resources is very much planned, and as I pointed out, some works can be done but would require CONCORD to pay unless we talk about minor works. For example, some support to design could be given, but if we want new material to be created or to provide media coverage of the event, this would have to be covered (as said, we have assigned this kind of resources to external events that can have more impact at commercial level). If this is not feasible you can always rely on a lot of things that have been done. FI-WARE has elaborated quite a lot of material for different events: we have the generic ones and the ones focused on smart cities (brochures, posters?). Additionally we count on a channel fed with lots of videos recorded in different events (UK; Lithuania, Spain, Brazil?).

Here ? in a staccato approach ? what I believe would be the way forward: 1) Objective: Pitching the Future Internet PPP outcomes (FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops) and what phase 3 holds in terms of opportunities to the Brussels microcosm. 2) The fee of 285 Euro is a deterrent. Can it be lowered to 99 Euro (and reimburse those who have paid)? Can it be waived altogether? 3) A key message is: "The FI-PPP delivers, the product lines FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops are there and work today", celebrate the early 'usages' by phase 2 projects and the hackathons. 4) Key points for the debate could be: What are the challenges to make FI-PPP outcomes sustainable? What are the challenges the fast pace of technological changes pose for FI-Ware? What are non-technical challenges? What needs to be done to make the FI-PPP a success? 5) A FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops ? mini-session should be added to the opening plenary (What is are the products, where are we in the programme, show 1-2 working examples?). Not more than 25 minutes. 6) The input material for the conference needs to be catchy. No point of showing half-baked, technical speak in a format which is not appealing. Again the key message is: The FI-PPP delivers! Then one should expand on the 'products' i.e. FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops and then on the two ?pronged take-up actions. 1) The P2 domain specific large scale trials and the 16 FI Accelerators of P3. I think it is indispensable that FI-WARE connection to Ogilvy is used 110% to produce publishable material before the end of the months (admittedly the website is nice). 7) I would like to write to a number of Commission service to raise interest and invite to attend (I will also ask Mario to write to his peers), including Member states representatives. 8) Equally I would expect that the companies in FI-WARE and the P2 trials will activate their representations in Brussels and the associations they are member of (e.g. DigitalEurope). Also the ETPs, Nessi, Net!Works (and the new 5GPPP), FIRE, Smart City EIP should be pushed as multipliers of the message. Final question: ? While hearing all views, the event now needs somebody who makes the decision, fast and firm, in order to move actions.

I have come back to some of my colleagues, including the Ogilvy team to check the way we could support the ECFI event. We are of course glad to help. As said during the teleconference, FI-WARE is going through its last phase and we are running out of resources; that is why we had to assign some of the remaining resources to those activities where the ROI seems to be higher and in our case these are the ones that target developers and people outside the research community. Nevertheless, there is still some time to work on that. Let me suggest the following actions. ? I attach the FI-WARE proposal for the programme. This includes a presentation in the plenary plus a parallel session where some of the concepts will be extended. The initial presentation will be made by Juanjo, but for the parallel session our idea is to count not only on internal people, but also ?FI-WARE? ambassadors, including cities that have connected to FI-WARE as well as some of the winners of the hackathons (for example from the last edition of Campus Party held in Brazil). Of course names will be confirmed once the session is approved and assuming the do not have to pay the fee (I also sent it to the DWG for consideration by the OC) ? FI-WARE has also confirmed its presence in the exhibition (still details to be sent) It was not easy to confirm this because, as you know, we were working until recently on the basis of the session with the Chamber of Commerce. Assuming that these changes are implemented in the programme then, we could get more engaged in the design and visibility of the event. As said before, FI-WARE can provide suggestions for improvement, but if more time intensive work is needed, then we would need to cover the costs of Ogilvy. This would be specifically required for this type of activities: - new designs of flyer, stands, ... - Material production (for example, if online development is required..) - Coverage of the event if we want to create professional media material (and a team from Ogilvy has to travel there). We did this in ICT event, Smart City Expo, Campus Party London and Campus Party Brazil with very good results The remaining budget has been assigned to the next Campus party, some important political events in Spain and the one we have to organize with the Chambers of Commerce. We are in discussions with FI-CONTENT on how to do it for CeBIT precisely because of limited resources. However, FI-WARE puts at the disposal of anyone in the PPP all the material already created. Links to videos have been distributed and I do not think there is anything against using them on the ECFI website to make it more dynamic, including statements about the FI PPP from relevant people. ? A lot of audiovisual material in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6tA5RY6g04&list=UUbXNGF_hhvKpXdQ1KxzX2HQ Let us know your views.

Hi Stefano, all, Thanks for your inputs. Based on all your answers this is the e-mail that I will send right now (see notes below) Dear Milon, I regret to say that our feeling is that your proposal goes against the principles that should guide the re-design of the program IMHO. Those principles were very well summarized by Peter Fatelnig in his mail of February 18. By the way, we wonder whether you still propose keeping a fee of 285? to attendees which we also find deterrent. Under the current circumstances and given the short time to settle down all the disparate views on the design of the program, we wonder whether it would be better to cancel the event. Looking for other dates and a design of the event which a) doesn't require to ask for a high fee to attendees and b) can be organized activating the network of contacts of phase 3 projects, look like a good rationale you can give to people who had already registered. Best regards, Note; be aware that some of the statements mentioned by Stefano cannot be used: responsibility regarding the success of ECFI is shared by all projects. We are not in the OC, but because we did not want (remember that many months ago I offered this possibility to all of you). Then, many aspects have been discussed in the DWG. I must say that my position has always been the same in that group and it is coherent. The reason of time cannot be used. They started to prepare this event long time ago (you can simply check my first e-mails on the subject)- In fact, what they argue is that FI-WARE reacts too late and that is the reason why they cannot change the agenda on the first day. FI-WARE participation was based on a workshop organized by the CoC submitted in December. The cancellation of this workshop let the project in a stand-by situation without a clear position in the event. Our proposal now could help in giving a clear focus and message to ECFI, but was only partially accepted. Thanks to all for your contributions.

At this point the event has no clear and agreed message to convey nor atrget audience (what and for whom), is late in dissemination (an event like this should be announced a year before), and does not have yet a clear agenda and named invited speakers (all of this should be know about 6 months in advance). Under the above outlined circumstances we wonder whether it would be better to cancel the event. We will be happy to cooperate and being involved in: a) looking for other dates, the current dates just before the elections will not assure the rigth political attendance and attention both at mp and commission levels b) designin and event which doesn't require to ask for a high fee to attendees c) well activating the network of contacts of phase 3 projects whioch in turn looks like a good rationale you can give to people who had already registered." ciao, stefano 2014-02-25 10:39 GMT+01:00 Juanjo Hierro >: May be a way to smooth the second sentence would be to say (see change in green): Under the current circumstances and given the short time to settle down all the disparate views on the design of the program, we wonder whether it would be better to cancel the event. Looking for another dates and a design of the event which a) doesn't require to ask for a high fee to attendees and b) can be organized activating the network of contacts of phase 3 projects, look like a good rationale you can give to people who had already registered. We would be giving our opinion (better to cancel the event and try to organize it better with more time) but still leaving the decision on their side. But, anyways, I'm fine with whatever is agreed. (note: the fact that I'm encouraging to cancel the event is because I rather believe that it is the best for the program, not just FI-WARE, it's not because I love the idea of canceling it) Best regards, -- Juanjo ------------- Product Development and Innovation (PDI) - Telefonica Digital website: www.tid.es email: jhierro at tid.es twitter: twitter.com/JuanjoHierro FI-WARE (European Future Internet Core Platform) Coordinator and Chief Architect FI-PPP Architecture Board chairman You can follow FI-WARE at: website: http://www.fi-ware.eu facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/FI-WARE/251366491587242 twitter: http://twitter.com/FIware linkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/groups/FIWARE-4239932 On 25/02/14 10:14, Garino Pierangelo wrote: Hi All, I?m fully aligned with the opinion of Nuria, and I personally share the strong position expressed by Juanjo?s mail, but expressing such a radical position in an official way would probably create many negative effects around FI-WARE.

I believe that moving a general presentation on FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab to Day 2 does not work and, I would add more, goes against the approach that Peter Fatelning asked CONCORD to follow for the event (see text marked in red of the long thread of emails linked to this discussion that was attached by Nuria). Actually, he literally said that the two following points had to be taken into account in the re-design of the event: 3) A key message is: "The FI-PPP delivers, the product lines FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops are there and work today", celebrate the early 'usages' by phase 2 projects and the hackathons. ... 5) A FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops ? mini-session should be added to the opening plenary (What is are the products, where are we in the programme, show 1-2 working examples?). Not more than 25 minutes. His advice in this respect, which was complementary to ours, has simply been ignored. I frankly do not understand why introducing a slot of 20 minutes (which, btw, was initially taken into consideration because they asked us about a keynote speech by our CEO, Carlos Domingo) is so difficult ... BTW ... it doesn't need to be me actually who make that speech. It could be some top executive of some of the partners if it looks more suitable. On the other hand, I don't see that there has been any reaction to the point of dropping the fee of 285?. This was labeled as "deterrent" by Peter Fatelnig. Bottom line, I would answer the following way: === Dear Milon, I regret to say that our feeling is that your proposal goes against the principles that should guide the re-design of the program IMHO.

An urgent decision has to be made by us; therefore, read this e-mail and tell me which message I should transmit on behalf of the project. ? Initial proposal by FI-WARE was based on a session organized by the Chamber of Commerce (targeting CoC and Committee of the regions). We sent these contributions before Xmas ? Then, FI-WARE decided to withdraw from this option because of the conditions of ECFI (limited attendees, a fee of al almost 300 euro that was incompatible with the objectives of the workshop proposed by the CoC, too short sessions (we had 1,5h instead of 5h?). ? Based on this decision FI-WARE disappeared from the programme, and we came later to the organizing committee with a new proposal ? As some of you may know, in this group people are not very flexible, and therefore, despite our willingness to improve the current programme and perception of the event, it is being quite difficult to go forward with our plans. Some days ago both the EC and Ilka (FI PPP chair) agreed on giving FI-WARE/FI-LAB/FIOPS more visibility and based on that FI-WARE pushed for a presentation in the plenary session of day 1. ? I drafted the descriptions based on my discussions with Juanjo and previous background (I attached the last version sent to the DWG). The proposal includes the aforementioned presentation in the plenary as well as a parallel workshop. ? While the workshop has been accepted by the OC, they only provide us the option of a presentation on Day 2 (see decision by the OC sent to me today) ?

The ECFI-1 organising committee (OC) agreed to most of what you proposed. The description of your parallel session on ?Open APIs and Open Minds" is already online at http://www.ecfi.eu/programme-brussels2014/session-10/ Concerning your request to have a 30-min plenary presentation on "FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab", the participating OC members (including representatives from FINESCE, FIspace, FI-CONTENT, and XIFI) unanimously agreed after a comprehensive discussion of the different aspects that it would not be feasible/beneficial to shorten the lunch break on day 1, as you had suggested, in order to insert this session. The lunch break on day 1 is a crucial time for participants to explore the exhibition. Shortening the lunch break from 90 min to 60 min would seriously reduce the interaction at the booths/demos, which is one of the important aspects of the event. The second reason is that the OC considered it more appropriate to dedicate a full hour (instead of 30 min) of plenary time to an important topic like " FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab", which is only feasible on day 2. In addition, the longer duration will also make it possible to have a XIFI representative present FI-OPs and have some time for Q&A. Thus, I ask for your understanding that the OC scheduled the proposed plenary session for the morning of day 2. The draft description is online at http://www.ecfi.eu/session-9/ In order to finalise the session agenda, I would like to ask you to coordinate with Monique from XIFI. In addition to organising these 2 sessions, I would ask for FI-WARE's support in actively promoting ECFI Brussels over the next few weeks, in order to attract a good number of participants to our joint FI-PPP event.

The ensuing DWG e-mail discussion according to my understanding showed that your original proposal had neglected the FI-OPs part, and I think you had agreed to work together with the XIFI people to work on a revised version of your original proposal. Your draft proposal has been lacking necessary details like envisaged speakers and, thus, needs to be revised anyhow. It would be good, if you could send a revised draft to the DWG by Monday morning, 24 February, 11:00, so we could consider it in the ECFI-1 OC call. Just to make this clear: after the agreement in the DWG, the ECFI-1 OC will not discuss whether to have a plenary session and a parallel session organised by FI-WARE or not, but only how and when it should happen. This requires, of course, that FI-WARE delivers the required agendas, including speakers, for both sessions soon. Without preempting the ECFI-1 OC call discussion, I daresay that accommodating your wish to have the FI-WARE organised plenary session in the morning of day 1 is hardly feasible, as this would require un-inviting high-level speakers who add value to the conference programme and who took months to secure. Thus, my proposal to the ECFI-1 OC, which I had already explained at the last DWG call, has been to start day 2 with the FI-WARE organised plenary session. In addition to the conference programme, the FI-WARE project will have plenty of opportunities for presenting FI-WARE, FI-LAB and FI-OPs in the exhibition. Please send me the description of the FI-WARE stand at your earliest convenience. In addition, I would appreciate, if FI-WARE could mobilise its PR forces to promote the event. As you can see, there is a lot of actions you can take right now - there is absolutely no reason for you to wait for outcomes of the next organising committee call.

I think the position of FI-WARE is clear: ? I welcome the agreement by the EC and Ilka on the plenary session showing that the three brands FI-WARE/FI-LAB/FI-OPS are up and running ? I understand that for both the plenary session and the parallel workshop we have to wait until the Organizing committee agrees on that and approves the contents formally. Be aware that I will not start preparing anything until I get confirmation ? Then, involvement of Ogilvy can happen, but their assignment of resources is very much planned, and as I pointed out, some works can be done but would require CONCORD to pay unless we talk about minor works. For example, some support to design could be given, but if we want new material to be created or to provide media coverage of the event, this would have to be covered (as said, we have assigned this kind of resources to external events that can have more impact at commercial level). If this is not feasible you can always rely on a lot of things that have been done. FI-WARE has elaborated quite a lot of material for different events: we have the generic ones and the ones focused on smart cities (brochures, posters?). Additionally we count on a channel fed with lots of videos recorded in different events (UK; Lithuania, Spain, Brazil?).

Can it be lowered to 99 Euro (and reimburse those who have paid)? Can it be waived altogether? 3) A key message is: "The FI-PPP delivers, the product lines FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops are there and work today", celebrate the early 'usages' by phase 2 projects and the hackathons. 4) Key points for the debate could be: What are the challenges to make FI-PPP outcomes sustainable? What are the challenges the fast pace of technological changes pose for FI-Ware? What are non-technical challenges? What needs to be done to make the FI-PPP a success? 5) A FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops ? mini-session should be added to the opening plenary (What is are the products, where are we in the programme, show 1-2 working examples?). Not more than 25 minutes. 6) The input material for the conference needs to be catchy. No point of showing half-baked, technical speak in a format which is not appealing. Again the key message is: The FI-PPP delivers! Then one should expand on the 'products' i.e. FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops and then on the two ?pronged take-up actions. 1) The P2 domain specific large scale trials and the 16 FI Accelerators of P3. I think it is indispensable that FI-WARE connection to Ogilvy is used 110% to produce publishable material before the end of the months (admittedly the website is nice). 7) I would like to write to a number of Commission service to raise interest and invite to attend (I will also ask Mario to write to his peers), including Member states representatives. 8) Equally I would expect that the companies in FI-WARE and the P2 trials will activate their representations in Brussels and the associations they are member of (e.g. DigitalEurope). Also the ETPs, Nessi, Net!Works (and the new 5GPPP), FIRE, Smart City EIP should be pushed as multipliers of the message. Final question: ? While hearing all views, the event now needs somebody who makes the decision, fast and firm, in order to move actions. Who will be that driver where all inputs can be focussed and actions is organised? ? Can we have another phone call towards the end of the week? ? Nuria, would it be possible to activate Ogilvy already now? I wanted to be sharp on the above, of course in the end there is flexibility everywhere as we go along.

I have come back to some of my colleagues, including the Ogilvy team to check the way we could support the ECFI event. We are of course glad to help. As said during the teleconference, FI-WARE is going through its last phase and we are running out of resources; that is why we had to assign some of the remaining resources to those activities where the ROI seems to be higher and in our case these are the ones that target developers and people outside the research community. Nevertheless, there is still some time to work on that. Let me suggest the following actions. ? I attach the FI-WARE proposal for the programme. This includes a presentation in the plenary plus a parallel session where some of the concepts will be extended. The initial presentation will be made by Juanjo, but for the parallel session our idea is to count not only on internal people, but also ?FI-WARE? ambassadors, including cities that have connected to FI-WARE as well as some of the winners of the hackathons (for example from the last edition of Campus Party held in Brazil). Of course names will be confirmed once the session is approved and assuming the do not have to pay the fee (I also sent it to the DWG for consideration by the OC) ? FI-WARE has also confirmed its presence in the exhibition (still details to be sent) It was not easy to confirm this because, as you know, we were working until recently on the basis of the session with the Chamber of Commerce. Assuming that these changes are implemented in the programme then, we could get more engaged in the design and visibility of the event. As said before, FI-WARE can provide suggestions for improvement, but if more time intensive work is needed, then we would need to cover the costs of Ogilvy. This would be specifically required for this type of activities: - new designs of flyer, stands, ... - Material production (for example, if online development is required..) - Coverage of the event if we want to create professional media material (and a team from Ogilvy has to travel there). We did this in ICT event, Smart City Expo, Campus Party London and Campus Party Brazil with very good results The remaining budget has been assigned to the next Campus party, some important political events in Spain and the one we have to organize with the Chambers of Commerce. We are in discussions with FI-CONTENT on how to do it for CeBIT precisely because of limited resources. However, FI-WARE puts at the disposal of anyone in the PPP all the material already created. Links to videos have been distributed and I do not think there is anything against using them on the ECFI website to make it more dynamic, including statements about the FI PPP from relevant people. ?

Hi Stefano, all, Thanks for your inputs. Based on all your answers this is the e-mail that I will send right now (see notes below) Dear Milon, I regret to say that our feeling is that your proposal goes against the principles that should guide the re-design of the program IMHO. Those principles were very well summarized by Peter Fatelnig in his mail of February 18. By the way, we wonder whether you still propose keeping a fee of 285? to attendees which we also find deterrent. Under the current circumstances and given the short time to settle down all the disparate views on the design of the program, we wonder whether it would be better to cancel the event. Looking for other dates and a design of the event which a) doesn't require to ask for a high fee to attendees and b) can be organized activating the network of contacts of phase 3 projects, look like a good rationale you can give to people who had already registered. Best regards, Note; be aware that some of the statements mentioned by Stefano cannot be used: responsibility regarding the success of ECFI is shared by all projects. We are not in the OC, but because we did not want (remember that many months ago I offered this possibility to all of you). Then, many aspects have been discussed in the DWG. I must say that my position has always been the same in that group and it is coherent. The reason of time cannot be used. They started to prepare this event long time ago (you can simply check my first e-mails on the subject)- In fact, what they argue is that FI-WARE reacts too late and that is the reason why they cannot change the agenda on the first day. FI-WARE participation was based on a workshop organized by the CoC submitted in December. The cancellation of this workshop let the project in a stand-by situation without a clear position in the event. Our proposal now could help in giving a clear focus and message to ECFI, but was only partially accepted. Thanks to all for your contributions.

At this point the event has no clear and agreed message to convey nor atrget audience (what and for whom), is late in dissemination (an event like this should be announced a year before), and does not have yet a clear agenda and named invited speakers (all of this should be know about 6 months in advance). Under the above outlined circumstances we wonder whether it would be better to cancel the event. We will be happy to cooperate and being involved in: a) looking for other dates, the current dates just before the elections will not assure the rigth political attendance and attention both at mp and commission levels b) designin and event which doesn't require to ask for a high fee to attendees c) well activating the network of contacts of phase 3 projects whioch in turn looks like a good rationale you can give to people who had already registered." ciao, stefano 2014-02-25 10:39 GMT+01:00 Juanjo Hierro >: May be a way to smooth the second sentence would be to say (see change in green): Under the current circumstances and given the short time to settle down all the disparate views on the design of the program, we wonder whether it would be better to cancel the event. Looking for another dates and a design of the event which a) doesn't require to ask for a high fee to attendees and b) can be organized activating the network of contacts of phase 3 projects, look like a good rationale you can give to people who had already registered. We would be giving our opinion (better to cancel the event and try to organize it better with more time) but still leaving the decision on their side. But, anyways, I'm fine with whatever is agreed. (note: the fact that I'm encouraging to cancel the event is because I rather believe that it is the best for the program, not just FI-WARE, it's not because I love the idea of canceling it) Best regards, -- Juanjo ------------- Product Development and Innovation (PDI) - Telefonica Digital website: www.tid.es email: jhierro at tid.es twitter: twitter.com/JuanjoHierro FI-WARE (European Future Internet Core Platform) Coordinator and Chief Architect FI-PPP Architecture Board chairman You can follow FI-WARE at: website: http://www.fi-ware.eu facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/FI-WARE/251366491587242 twitter: http://twitter.com/FIware linkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/groups/FIWARE-4239932 On 25/02/14 10:14, Garino Pierangelo wrote: Hi All, I?m fully aligned with the opinion of Nuria, and I personally share the strong position expressed by Juanjo?s mail, but expressing such a radical position in an official way would probably create many negative effects around FI-WARE.

I believe that moving a general presentation on FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab to Day 2 does not work and, I would add more, goes against the approach that Peter Fatelning asked CONCORD to follow for the event (see text marked in red of the long thread of emails linked to this discussion that was attached by Nuria). Actually, he literally said that the two following points had to be taken into account in the re-design of the event: 3) A key message is: "The FI-PPP delivers, the product lines FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops are there and work today", celebrate the early 'usages' by phase 2 projects and the hackathons. ... 5) A FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops ? mini-session should be added to the opening plenary (What is are the products, where are we in the programme, show 1-2 working examples?). Not more than 25 minutes. His advice in this respect, which was complementary to ours, has simply been ignored. I frankly do not understand why introducing a slot of 20 minutes (which, btw, was initially taken into consideration because they asked us about a keynote speech by our CEO, Carlos Domingo) is so difficult ... BTW ... it doesn't need to be me actually who make that speech. It could be some top executive of some of the partners if it looks more suitable. On the other hand, I don't see that there has been any reaction to the point of dropping the fee of 285?. This was labeled as "deterrent" by Peter Fatelnig. Bottom line, I would answer the following way: === Dear Milon, I regret to say that our feeling is that your proposal goes against the principles that should guide the re-design of the program IMHO.

Initial proposal by FI-WARE was based on a session organized by the Chamber of Commerce (targeting CoC and Committee of the regions). We sent these contributions before Xmas ? Then, FI-WARE decided to withdraw from this option because of the conditions of ECFI (limited attendees, a fee of al almost 300 euro that was incompatible with the objectives of the workshop proposed by the CoC, too short sessions (we had 1,5h instead of 5h?). ?

Some days ago both the EC and Ilka (FI PPP chair) agreed on giving FI-WARE/FI-LAB/FIOPS more visibility and based on that FI-WARE pushed for a presentation in the plenary session of day 1. ?

The ECFI-1 organising committee (OC) agreed to most of what you proposed. The description of your parallel session on ?Open APIs and Open Minds" is already online at http://www.ecfi.eu/programme-brussels2014/session-10/ Concerning your request to have a 30-min plenary presentation on "FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab", the participating OC members (including representatives from FINESCE, FIspace, FI-CONTENT, and XIFI) unanimously agreed after a comprehensive discussion of the different aspects that it would not be feasible/beneficial to shorten the lunch break on day 1, as you had suggested, in order to insert this session. The lunch break on day 1 is a crucial time for participants to explore the exhibition. Shortening the lunch break from 90 min to 60 min would seriously reduce the interaction at the booths/demos, which is one of the important aspects of the event. The second reason is that the OC considered it more appropriate to dedicate a full hour (instead of 30 min) of plenary time to an important topic like " FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab", which is only feasible on day 2. In addition, the longer duration will also make it possible to have a XIFI representative present FI-OPs and have some time for Q&A. Thus, I ask for your understanding that the OC scheduled the proposed plenary session for the morning of day 2. The draft description is online at http://www.ecfi.eu/session-9/ In order to finalise the session agenda, I would like to ask you to coordinate with Monique from XIFI. In addition to organising these 2 sessions, I would ask for FI-WARE's support in actively promoting ECFI Brussels over the next few weeks, in order to attract a good number of participants to our joint FI-PPP event.

The ensuing DWG e-mail discussion according to my understanding showed that your original proposal had neglected the FI-OPs part, and I think you had agreed to work together with the XIFI people to work on a revised version of your original proposal. Your draft proposal has been lacking necessary details like envisaged speakers and, thus, needs to be revised anyhow. It would be good, if you could send a revised draft to the DWG by Monday morning, 24 February, 11:00, so we could consider it in the ECFI-1 OC call. Just to make this clear: after the agreement in the DWG, the ECFI-1 OC will not discuss whether to have a plenary session and a parallel session organised by FI-WARE or not, but only how and when it should happen. This requires, of course, that FI-WARE delivers the required agendas, including speakers, for both sessions soon. Without preempting the ECFI-1 OC call discussion, I daresay that accommodating your wish to have the FI-WARE organised plenary session in the morning of day 1 is hardly feasible, as this would require un-inviting high-level speakers who add value to the conference programme and who took months to secure. Thus, my proposal to the ECFI-1 OC, which I had already explained at the last DWG call, has been to start day 2 with the FI-WARE organised plenary session. In addition to the conference programme, the FI-WARE project will have plenty of opportunities for presenting FI-WARE, FI-LAB and FI-OPs in the exhibition. Please send me the description of the FI-WARE stand at your earliest convenience. In addition, I would appreciate, if FI-WARE could mobilise its PR forces to promote the event. As you can see, there is a lot of actions you can take right now - there is absolutely no reason for you to wait for outcomes of the next organising committee call.

I think the position of FI-WARE is clear: ? I welcome the agreement by the EC and Ilka on the plenary session showing that the three brands FI-WARE/FI-LAB/FI-OPS are up and running ? I understand that for both the plenary session and the parallel workshop we have to wait until the Organizing committee agrees on that and approves the contents formally. Be aware that I will not start preparing anything until I get confirmation ? Then, involvement of Ogilvy can happen, but their assignment of resources is very much planned, and as I pointed out, some works can be done but would require CONCORD to pay unless we talk about minor works. For example, some support to design could be given, but if we want new material to be created or to provide media coverage of the event, this would have to be covered (as said, we have assigned this kind of resources to external events that can have more impact at commercial level). If this is not feasible you can always rely on a lot of things that have been done. FI-WARE has elaborated quite a lot of material for different events: we have the generic ones and the ones focused on smart cities (brochures, posters?).

Granted there are differences in views and agendas between the projects - however, I have to say I am amazed and fed-up of all the various e-mails bouncing around about nitty-gritty details. Let's get our act together here and agree on the common denominators to highlight all the projects at all the coming events. I have just had good talks with Phase 3 projects to get them in the right mood and spirit. I am not willing to let ECFI to escalate into something that will unnecessarily rock the boat. By the end of the week, we need to have an agreement how FI-PPP, FI-WARE, ECFI are all joined at acceptable ways to all. There is no other way. Ilkka Sent from my iPad "De-Lama Sanchez, Nuria" > kirjoitti 26.2.2014 kello 11.18: Hi Milon, all, Let me inform you that I came back to the FI-WARE team with the suggestions and conclusions of the ECFI OC. That content has triggered many internal discussions and the FI-WARE PCC has agreed the formal answer below: We regret to say that our feeling is that your proposal goes against the principles that should guide the re-design of the program. Those principles were very well summarized by Peter Fatelnig in his mail of February 18. By the way, we wonder whether you still propose keeping a fee of 285? to attendees which we also find deterrent. Under the current circumstances and given the short time to settle down all the disparate views on the design of the program, we wonder whether it would be better to cancel the event. Looking for other dates and a design of the event which a) doesn't require to ask for a high fee to attendees and b) can be organized activating the network of contacts of phase 3 projects, look like a good rationale you can give to people who had already registered. As said, I am transmitting the project position. Let us know which are the next steps and how to contribute to a plan that is shared by all parties.

The ECFI-1 organising committee (OC) agreed to most of what you proposed. The description of your parallel session on ?Open APIs and Open Minds" is already online at http://www.ecfi.eu/programme-brussels2014/session-10/ Concerning your request to have a 30-min plenary presentation on "FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab", the participating OC members (including representatives from FINESCE, FIspace, FI-CONTENT, and XIFI) unanimously agreed after a comprehensive discussion of the different aspects that it would not be feasible/beneficial to shorten the lunch break on day 1, as you had suggested, in order to insert this session. The lunch break on day 1 is a crucial time for participants to explore the exhibition. Shortening the lunch break from 90 min to 60 min would seriously reduce the interaction at the booths/demos, which is one of the important aspects of the event. The second reason is that the OC considered it more appropriate to dedicate a full hour (instead of 30 min) of plenary time to an important topic like " FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab", which is only feasible on day 2. In addition, the longer duration will also make it possible to have a XIFI representative present FI-OPs and have some time for Q&A. Thus, I ask for your understanding that the OC scheduled the proposed plenary session for the morning of day 2. The draft description is online at http://www.ecfi.eu/session-9/ In order to finalise the session agenda, I would like to ask you to coordinate with Monique from XIFI. In addition to organising these 2 sessions, I would ask for FI-WARE's support in actively promoting ECFI Brussels over the next few weeks, in order to attract a good number of participants to our joint FI-PPP event.

Find attached version 2 of the proposal that includes the following changes wrt v1. ? I have changed the title of the plenary presentation to reflect the three brands more explicitly and it was initially proposed by Juanjo ? I have added the three logos; still they should not only appear in the session description but in the overall programme ? I have added agenda and speakers to the session (the parallel workshop) keeping the explanations to guide attendees about the content (of course now I have to confirm speakers) Be aware that in previous discussions both the EC (Peter) and Ilka agreed to have a FI-WARE/FI-LABS/FI-OPS presentation at the beginning of the programme (beginning of the conference means day 1). Checking the existing programme I think this could be well accommodated by delaying lunch 30 minutes, which seems reasonable because it would still be typical Brussels lunch time. Let me know if something else from my side is needed.

I will try to progress on that. I can draft agendas for the sessions with potential speakers.

The ensuing DWG e-mail discussion according to my understanding showed that your original proposal had neglected the FI-OPs part, and I think you had agreed to work together with the XIFI people to work on a revised version of your original proposal. Your draft proposal has been lacking necessary details like envisaged speakers and, thus, needs to be revised anyhow. It would be good, if you could send a revised draft to the DWG by Monday morning, 24 February, 11:00, so we could consider it in the ECFI-1 OC call. Just to make this clear: after the agreement in the DWG, the ECFI-1 OC will not discuss whether to have a plenary session and a parallel session organised by FI-WARE or not, but only how and when it should happen. This requires, of course, that FI-WARE delivers the required agendas, including speakers, for both sessions soon. Without preempting the ECFI-1 OC call discussion, I daresay that accommodating your wish to have the FI-WARE organised plenary session in the morning of day 1 is hardly feasible, as this would require un-inviting high-level speakers who add value to the conference programme and who took months to secure. Thus, my proposal to the ECFI-1 OC, which I had already explained at the last DWG call, has been to start day 2 with the FI-WARE organised plenary session. In addition to the conference programme, the FI-WARE project will have plenty of opportunities for presenting FI-WARE, FI-LAB and FI-OPs in the exhibition. Please send me the description of the FI-WARE stand at your earliest convenience. In addition, I would appreciate, if FI-WARE could mobilise its PR forces to promote the event. As you can see, there is a lot of actions you can take right now - there is absolutely no reason for you to wait for outcomes of the next organising committee call.

I think the position of FI-WARE is clear: ? I welcome the agreement by the EC and Ilka on the plenary session showing that the three brands FI-WARE/FI-LAB/FI-OPS are up and running ? I understand that for both the plenary session and the parallel workshop we have to wait until the Organizing committee agrees on that and approves the contents formally. Be aware that I will not start preparing anything until I get confirmation ? Then, involvement of Ogilvy can happen, but their assignment of resources is very much planned, and as I pointed out, some works can be done but would require CONCORD to pay unless we talk about minor works. For example, some support to design could be given, but if we want new material to be created or to provide media coverage of the event, this would have to be covered (as said, we have assigned this kind of resources to external events that can have more impact at commercial level). If this is not feasible you can always rely on a lot of things that have been done.

I think it is clear and to my knowledge it reflects well the spirit of everyone involved in the FI-WARE PCC. Just for your background. From: Juanjo Hierro [mailto:jhierro at tid.es] Sent: Wednesday, February 26, 2014 6:17 PM To: Lakaniemi Ilkka; De-Lama Sanchez, Nuria Cc: Milon Gupta; Fatelnig Peter; Berstr?m Ragnar; Arian.ZWEGERS at ec.europa.eu; Maria-Concepcion Anton Garcia; David Kennedy; Malmberg Katariina; jhierro >> "Juan J. Hierro" Subject: Re: FI-WARE @ECFI_Formal reaction to OC decission Dear Ilkka, You are right, but I wonder how someone may say that (s)he is on the same boat when something that should be evident after almost three years of execution of the program is denied: FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab are cornerstone in the program. This, btw, to the extend that success of the program could be measured in terms of successful adoption of FI-WARE/FI-Lab (FI-Ops being instrumental for the creation of FI-WARE instances). Note that I feel positive that you personally agree in this vision but I'm not sure about others. We have tried all our best to make this ECFI event something a) coherent and b) successful. However, the fact is that our recommendations have been ignored: * We tried to increase the visibility of the event by means of merging it with the Eurochambers event that was planned within FI-WARE. We were sure that one was going to attract a lot of people, actually the kind of audience we want to attract to the ECFI event, so we proposed the merging in order to attract as many people as possible to the ECFI event. However, our proposal was rejected and now Eurochambers is seeking for a separated event by end April or beginning of May. Bottom line: we missed a great opportunity to attract target audiences. A real pity ... but we ended accepting that decision. However: * We proposed to have a speech of 20-30' on FI-WARE/FI-Lab/FI-Ops right at the start of the event, so we can provide a coherent and solid message. This has been placed on the second day. We are said that placing such a speech at the beginning will jeopardize the structure of the whole agenda. Come on, is it so difficult? It's absurd. * We already mentioned a couple of times that the words FI-WARE, FI-Lab or FI-Ops do not appear a single time in the home page of the ECFI event and that should be fixed. This demand has been ignored. It's again absurd. BTW, the two last points above are aligned with EC's recommendations (please check email from Peter Fatelnig of February 18) ... but they have also been ignored. The organization of the ECFI event again looks like denying the role that FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab play in the whole program. We simply want to say it clear: that is bad for the program. Given the fact that we want to push for a successful ECFI event and this seems like not well understood and, again, has to be discussed, we wondered whether it is not better to postpone the event for a later date. Don't get it wrong. Postponing it is also frustrating to us. However, we are seeking for the best for the program and It's better to postpone an event in order to clear up all this mess than keeping dates which means assuming a so high risk of failure. Overall when there may be good arguments you can give to external people (need to redeem the tickets that have been paid, opportunity to co-locate it with Eurochambers' event, opportunity to engage organizations in phase 3, etc.) I tell you that when we explain people of Ogilvy what's going on, they get astonished. They are professionals of communications who are not tied at all to any particular interest or product we are developing. They are just trying to design an effective communication campaign. They would tell you that they cannot understand how you can communicate the goals and the activities of the FI-PPP without explaining what is FI-WARE and FI-Lab and the role both play in the program. The ECFI event is, btw, a proof of concept regarding wide communication. Now I wonder how the FI-PPP plan would be explained to projects in phase 3, overall the target web entrepreneurs that will be addressed. Do we plan to explain it without explaining what FI-WARE or FI-Lab are about or maybe explaining it in an annex ? Come on.

Ilkka Sent from my iPad "De-Lama Sanchez, Nuria" > kirjoitti 26.2.2014 kello 11.18: Hi Milon, all, Let me inform you that I came back to the FI-WARE team with the suggestions and conclusions of the ECFI OC. That content has triggered many internal discussions and the FI-WARE PCC has agreed the formal answer below: We regret to say that our feeling is that your proposal goes against the principles that should guide the re-design of the program. Those principles were very well summarized by Peter Fatelnig in his mail of February 18. By the way, we wonder whether you still propose keeping a fee of 285? to attendees which we also find deterrent. Under the current circumstances and given the short time to settle down all the disparate views on the design of the program, we wonder whether it would be better to cancel the event. Looking for other dates and a design of the event which a) doesn't require to ask for a high fee to attendees and b) can be organized activating the network of contacts of phase 3 projects, look like a good rationale you can give to people who had already registered. As said, I am transmitting the project position. Let us know which are the next steps and how to contribute to a plan that is shared by all parties.

The ECFI-1 organising committee (OC) agreed to most of what you proposed. The description of your parallel session on ?Open APIs and Open Minds" is already online at http://www.ecfi.eu/programme-brussels2014/session-10/ Concerning your request to have a 30-min plenary presentation on "FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab", the participating OC members (including representatives from FINESCE, FIspace, FI-CONTENT, and XIFI) unanimously agreed after a comprehensive discussion of the different aspects that it would not be feasible/beneficial to shorten the lunch break on day 1, as you had suggested, in order to insert this session. The lunch break on day 1 is a crucial time for participants to explore the exhibition. Shortening the lunch break from 90 min to 60 min would seriously reduce the interaction at the booths/demos, which is one of the important aspects of the event. The second reason is that the OC considered it more appropriate to dedicate a full hour (instead of 30 min) of plenary time to an important topic like " FI-WARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab", which is only feasible on day 2. In addition, the longer duration will also make it possible to have a XIFI representative present FI-OPs and have some time for Q&A. Thus, I ask for your understanding that the OC scheduled the proposed plenary session for the morning of day 2. The draft description is online at http://www.ecfi.eu/session-9/ In order to finalise the session agenda, I would like to ask you to coordinate with Monique from XIFI. In addition to organising these 2 sessions, I would ask for FI-WARE's support in actively promoting ECFI Brussels over the next few weeks, in order to attract a good number of participants to our joint FI-PPP event.

Find attached version 2 of the proposal that includes the following changes wrt v1. ? I have changed the title of the plenary presentation to reflect the three brands more explicitly and it was initially proposed by Juanjo ? I have added the three logos; still they should not only appear in the session description but in the overall programme ? I have added agenda and speakers to the session (the parallel workshop) keeping the explanations to guide attendees about the content (of course now I have to confirm speakers) Be aware that in previous discussions both the EC (Peter) and Ilka agreed to have a FI-WARE/FI-LABS/FI-OPS presentation at the beginning of the programme (beginning of the conference means day 1). Checking the existing programme I think this could be well accommodated by delaying lunch 30 minutes, which seems reasonable because it would still be typical Brussels lunch time. Let me know if something else from my side is needed.

I will try to progress on that. I can draft agendas for the sessions with potential speakers. Be aware that I cannot confirm names in 2 days because those people will need to check the possibility to travel on those dates. In some cases I already initiated the process (for example, I asked Juanjo to check the availability of some of the Campus Party winners).

The ensuing DWG e-mail discussion according to my understanding showed that your original proposal had neglected the FI-OPs part, and I think you had agreed to work together with the XIFI people to work on a revised version of your original proposal. Your draft proposal has been lacking necessary details like envisaged speakers and, thus, needs to be revised anyhow. It would be good, if you could send a revised draft to the DWG by Monday morning, 24 February, 11:00, so we could consider it in the ECFI-1 OC call. Just to make this clear: after the agreement in the DWG, the ECFI-1 OC will not discuss whether to have a plenary session and a parallel session organised by FI-WARE or not, but only how and when it should happen. This requires, of course, that FI-WARE delivers the required agendas, including speakers, for both sessions soon. Without preempting the ECFI-1 OC call discussion, I daresay that accommodating your wish to have the FI-WARE organised plenary session in the morning of day 1 is hardly feasible, as this would require un-inviting high-level speakers who add value to the conference programme and who took months to secure. Thus, my proposal to the ECFI-1 OC, which I had already explained at the last DWG call, has been to start day 2 with the FI-WARE organised plenary session. In addition to the conference programme, the FI-WARE project will have plenty of opportunities for presenting FI-WARE, FI-LAB and FI-OPs in the exhibition. Please send me the description of the FI-WARE stand at your earliest convenience. In addition, I would appreciate, if FI-WARE could mobilise its PR forces to promote the event. As you can see, there is a lot of actions you can take right now - there is absolutely no reason for you to wait for outcomes of the next organising committee call.

I think the position of FI-WARE is clear: ? I welcome the agreement by the EC and Ilka on the plenary session showing that the three brands FI-WARE/FI-LAB/FI-OPS are up and running ? I understand that for both the plenary session and the parallel workshop we have to wait until the Organizing committee agrees on that and approves the contents formally. Be aware that I will not start preparing anything until I get confirmation ? Then, involvement of Ogilvy can happen, but their assignment of resources is very much planned, and as I pointed out, some works can be done but would require CONCORD to pay unless we talk about minor works. For example, some support to design could be given, but if we want new material to be created or to provide media coverage of the event, this would have to be covered (as said, we have assigned this kind of resources to external events that can have more impact at commercial level). If this is not feasible you can always rely on a lot of things that have been done. FI-WARE has elaborated quite a lot of material for different events: we have the generic ones and the ones focused on smart cities (brochures, posters?). Additionally we count on a channel fed with lots of videos recorded in different events (UK; Lithuania, Spain, Brazil?).

Decision procedures are organised transparently in order to ensure participation and commitment by a maximum number of projects. The ECFI-1 OC will have a conference call next week. I will update you on any decisions agreed by the ECFI-1 at that meeting as well as any other relevant developments in regard to the event. In the meantime, I would appreciate any support the EC and the FI-WARE project could provide in promoting the ECFI event towards potential participants.

Here ? in a staccato approach ? what I believe would be the way forward: 1) Objective: Pitching the Future Internet PPP outcomes (FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops) and what phase 3 holds in terms of opportunities to the Brussels microcosm. 2) The fee of 285 Euro is a deterrent. Can it be lowered to 99 Euro (and reimburse those who have paid)? Can it be waived altogether? 3) A key message is: "The FI-PPP delivers, the product lines FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops are there and work today", celebrate the early 'usages' by phase 2 projects and the hackathons. 4) Key points for the debate could be: What are the challenges to make FI-PPP outcomes sustainable? What are the challenges the fast pace of technological changes pose for FI-Ware? What are non-technical challenges? What needs to be done to make the FI-PPP a success? 5) A FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops ? mini-session should be added to the opening plenary (What is are the products, where are we in the programme, show 1-2 working examples?). Not more than 25 minutes. 6) The input material for the conference needs to be catchy. No point of showing half-baked, technical speak in a format which is not appealing. Again the key message is: The FI-PPP delivers! Then one should expand on the 'products' i.e. FI-Ware, FI-Lab and FI-Ops and then on the two ?pronged take-up actions. 1) The P2 domain specific large scale trials and the 16 FI Accelerators of P3. I think it is indispensable that FI-WARE connection to Ogilvy is used 110% to produce publishable material before the end of the months (admittedly the website is nice). 7) I would like to write to a number of Commission service to raise interest and invite to attend (I will also ask Mario to write to his peers), including Member states representatives. 8) Equally I would expect that the companies in FI-WARE and the P2 trials will activate their representations in Brussels and the associations they are member of (e.g. DigitalEurope). Also the ETPs, Nessi, Net!Works (and the new 5GPPP), FIRE, Smart City EIP should be pushed as multipliers of the message. Final question: ? While hearing all views, the event now needs somebody who makes the decision, fast and firm, in order to move actions. Who will be that driver where all inputs can be focussed and actions is organised? ? Can we have another phone call towards the end of the week? ? Nuria, would it be possible to activate Ogilvy already now? I wanted to be sharp on the above, of course in the end there is flexibility everywhere as we go along.

I have come back to some of my colleagues, including the Ogilvy team to check the way we could support the ECFI event. We are of course glad to help. As said during the teleconference, FI-WARE is going through its last phase and we are running out of resources; that is why we had to assign some of the remaining resources to those activities where the ROI seems to be higher and in our case these are the ones that target developers and people outside the research community. Nevertheless, there is still some time to work on that. Let me suggest the following actions. ? I attach the FI-WARE proposal for the programme. This includes a presentation in the plenary plus a parallel session where some of the concepts will be extended. The initial presentation will be made by Juanjo, but for the parallel session our idea is to count not only on internal people, but also ?FI-WARE? ambassadors, including cities that have connected to FI-WARE as well as some of the winners of the hackathons (for example from the last edition of Campus Party held in Brazil). Of course names will be confirmed once the session is approved and assuming the do not have to pay the fee (I also sent it to the DWG for consideration by the OC) ? FI-WARE has also confirmed its presence in the exhibition (still details to be sent) It was not easy to confirm this because, as you know, we were working until recently on the basis of the session with the Chamber of Commerce. Assuming that these changes are implemented in the programme then, we could get more engaged in the design and visibility of the event. As said before, FI-WARE can provide suggestions for improvement, but if more time intensive work is needed, then we would need to cover the costs of Ogilvy. This would be specifically required for this type of activities: - new designs of flyer, stands, ... - Material production (for example, if online development is required..) - Coverage of the event if we want to create professional media material (and a team from Ogilvy has to travel there). We did this in ICT event, Smart City Expo, Campus Party London and Campus Party Brazil with very good results The remaining budget has been assigned to the next Campus party, some important political events in Spain and the one we have to organize with the Chambers of Commerce. We are in discussions with FI-CONTENT on how to do it for CeBIT precisely because of limited resources. However, FI-WARE puts at the disposal of anyone in the PPP all the material already created. Links to videos have been distributed and I do not think there is anything against using them on the ECFI website to make it more dynamic, including statements about the FI PPP from relevant people. ? A lot of audiovisual material in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6tA5RY6g04&list=UUbXNGF_hhvKpXdQ1KxzX2HQ Let us know your views.

Unfortunately on April 2 I have other commitments so did contact partners to attend and represent me and Security Chapter of FI-WARE at the session. After some internal consultation I conducted I decided to send to the event Michael Osborne from IBM (since IBM is owner of Privacy GE) and possibly Daniel Gidoin (to replace me). This was announced already to Pierre-Yves Danet yesterday. For me this has to do with participation of Security Chapter of FI-WARE and can be de-correlated from FI-WARE answer at consortium level. In our case we are only participating to a session on Security and not to plenary session. Hope I have answered/clarified.

You can see what is the formal reaction from the EC. Juanjo, I talked to Peter this morning and he told me that Ilka had contacted to you to let you know that FI-WARE, FI-LAB, FI-OPS presentation will happen on the first day (plenary). If this is confirmed I suppose we should go ahead now, no? Can you clarify our position so that we can start working ASAP (preparing all this is not an easy task and consumes time). If the decision is "going ahead" then, some urgent actions would be: * Providing a good flyer from ECFI that could be designed by Ogilvy. I think this could be a great contribution from our side and I am sure that Ogilvy can prepare that very quickly. Like this we could even ensure that our brands appear explicitly. * Use our networks to disseminate the event (I see this as only that makes sense only if the fee is reduced or removed...). Thanks for your reactions on their reactions...

ECFI Dear colleagues, Only now I read the flurry of emails on the 1.ECFI. Since cancelling the event is not an option (from what I read in the emails), the event will go ahead. Hence all effort should focus on making it relevant and good (we can complain later about problems and money it costs...) 1. From Ilkka I understand that FI-Ware has a slot on day one in the morning. That issue is therefore off the table. 2.

I was hoping to get a fancy flyer about the FI-PPP and one about the 1.ECFI which I can use for Mario to invite Commission colleagues. I don't have anything, so I will draft simple email which I hope Mario will agree to send to some colleagues. 6. I suggest to reduce the fee to 49 Euro or zero, clearly 285 Euro is big deterrent. In Brussels people are used to eat for free, will be hard to change that. I know that has budget implications. But what is more important, making the event now happen or a hole in someones pocket? I guess we talk here of a 'loss' of 15-20 KEuro Action 2-4 are important to move ahead with action 5 and a revamped Commission advertising. All the above are my humble recommendations, they should not be understood me pushing business to Euractiv, EuropenVoice of ScienceBusiness. Thanks in advance for leaving the quarrels behind and getting the event on the right track. Clearly you lot are capable of pushing the right buttons and doing a turn-around in no time.

Let me inform you that I got additional "responsibilities" but also additional "visibility" for FI-WARE in the next FIA edition. * The EC will organize a new meeting of FIF (Future Internet Forum). This is a private meeting (by invitation) with around 20-25 Member States o I have been asked to make a presentation of FI-WARE but also FI-Core. Mario will moderate the meeting that will be held on the 19th morning (11:00-13:00) o This one is then for your information but I will take care of it (all your comments and suggestions will be appreciated) * Meeting with representatives from Mexico o It seems that the EC has initiated discussions with Mexico (as it happened with Brazil). This is still in preliminary stage, but a delegation of some representatives from Mexico will attend FIA. There will be around 8 people including a director general (some organizations are INFOTEC, CONECIT, Monterrey university...) o The EC needs 1-2 representatives from FI-WARE to accompany this delegation --> this will be on the 20th from 9:30 to 11 approximately. o A room has been booked; Jes?s Villasante will moderate the meeting and Arian will soon send an agenda o They have also requested the presence of someone from XIFI I would like to get a backup from FI-WARE for the FIF event in case I cannot make it for whatever reason (I hope there will not be any problem). Then, it is imperative that I get 1-2 names to attend this meeting with the Mexican delegation. I will not be available on the 20th. Based on my previous e-mails attendees to FIA are: Stefano, Pascal, Pier, Juanjo (???), Thomas (for presentations OK, but not as FI-WARE representative for this meeting). I need to confirm names to the EC ASAP. Thanks in advance!!!

Besides the above arrangement, we will promote the FI-WARE outcomes in the various presentations. I trust this is OK to all.

Following the plans we agreed during our confcall last week, we now have to deal with producing a coordinated letter/document comprising observations from the consortia. The letter/document will be structured as a summary section plus a number of sections, each dealing with one of the items in the following list (people who has to take care of writing each section is also listed): * Rejection of costs linked to deliverables D.4.5, D.4.1 and D.5.1, caretaker Juanjo * Rejection of costs linked to deliverable D.8.1.2, caretaker Pascal * Rejection of costs linked to Tools chapter, caretaker Davide * Rejection of costs linked to Testbed/FI-Lab chapter, caretaker Stefano * Rejection of costs linked to WP2/Overall Technical Coordination, caretaker Juanjo * Rejection of costs linked to Exploitation, caretaker Juan Bare?o We have to come up with a consolidated draft of these sections by end of next week that we can approve in the WPLs/WPAs follow-up confcall (afternoon session) that we will have on April 17th. As it was also agreed, we will not produce a consortium response regarding rejection of costs that are not in the above list. They can, of course, go for sending their own observations. However, Telef?nica would like to be copied in any communication sent to the EC regarding this matter. If someone considers I have forgotten any item in the list we had agreed to integrate in the consortium response, please let us know.

The results of the analysis of the financial statement are detailed in the attached financial statement acceptance forms. In summary a payment of 11.981.989 EUR will be made. We wish to draw your attention to the following: ? According to Article II.22 of the grant agreement, the Commission may, at any time during the implementation of the project and up to five years after the end of the project, arrange for financial audits to be carried out, by external auditors, or by the Commission services themselves including OLAF. ? According to Article II.23 of the grant agreement, the Commission may initiate a technical audit or review at any time during the implementation of the project and up to five years after the end of the project. The payment of the Union financial contribution to the coordinator discharges the Commission from its obligation on payments to the other beneficiaries. Therefore, you shall ensure that all the appropriate payments are made to them without unjustified delay (see Articles II.2 and II.3). Furthermore note that according to the provisions of the Financial Regulation and of the grant agreement, sums due to the Union by a beneficiary may be recovered by offsetting them against any sums it owes to the beneficiary concerned, after informing the latter accordingly. Please inform the other beneficiaries of the results of the financial assessment for this reporting period.
