I made a mistake when I wrote February 17 as deadline for sending the observations. It should read March 17. The email from Arian, which I attached to my mail, was clear in this respect. I also made a mistake when referring to the date at which we should have the consolidated drafts of the sections linked to the document with observations. It should be March 10 and not April 17 (don't know how I came with that date :-) in an afternoon session of our weekly WPLs/WPAs follow-up confcalls. So in summary: * All caretakers should bring a consolidated draft by March 10 * We will submit the consolidated document with agreed observations during the week of March 10, prior the deadline of March 17. Sorry for the confusion.

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.

It was also agreed in one of our PCC meetings that this funding would be roughly distributed in four so that it were assigned to the four major countries in Europe (Germany, France, Italy, Spain) where we thought we could find good candidate cities for this connection to FI-Lab, meaning aprox 625 KEUR of funding per country. As per now, not very much progress has been achieved neither in Germany nor France, in the latter case mostly devoted to constrains motivated by the fact that this would all fit too close to municipal elections which slow things down. Although I understand recently from Thierry that a deal with Nice may be closed, it doesn't seem like the whole amount of funding in principle assigned to French cities would be used. In the case of Germany, no particular progress has been made and some initial contact we made with Berlin didn't give results. Fortunately, we received expression of interests from other cities with which we have been able to materialize a deal. They were the cities of Espoo in Finland (involving VTT) as well as Lisbon in Portugal. We have initially booked a funding of 200 KEUR to each of these cities, since also an amount of 200 KEUR was assigned to the cities of Trento and Torino in Italy. On the other hand, the expressions of interest from cities in Spain have surpassed our expectations to the extend that we had to go for assigning just 100 KEUR to fund the activities dealing with connection of each city. With this adjustments, we have been able to cope with the somehow compromise to reward those cities which have make an investment on FI-Lab: Sevilla, M?laga, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Santander. The former three have movilized investment on physical infrastructure to support FI-Lab of up to 500 KEUR each, and Santander has also donated some servers that, among other things, have been critical to support the operation of FI-Lab until the new servers acquired by Red.es (with the 1,5 MEUR of funding coming from the first three cities) arrived. The good (and bad) news is that additional Spanish cities are knocking the door and it has became quite hard to distribute the aprox remaining 225 KEUR among the ones that request to be connected to FI-Lab. I'm proud (and also worried) to tell you that one of them would be Valencia, which is the third city in Spain with more than 800.000 inhabitants ... We would like to assign them another 100 KEUR ... but then we have another three relevant cities in the row (Zaragoza with more than 700.000 inhabitants, Logro?o with more than 150.000 inhabitants and LLeida with more than 130.000 inhabitants). We would kindly ask members of the PCC to allow us to assign 75 KEUR of funding to each of this additional three cities, therefore expanding the funding initially assigned to cities in Spain additional 100 KEUR in total so that we may allocate 725 KEUR to Spanish cities instead of the 625 KEUR initially assigned. I believe that a reasonable rationale that would justify this decision is that four of the cities have contributed to the project in higher level than the received funding. As I have told you before, an investment of aprox. 1,5 MEUR in hardware has been movilized thanks to Sevilla, M?laga and now Las Palmas, while Santander has donated the ability to use some additional servers. Note that even with this extension of the funding allocated to Spanish cities connected to FI-Lab, we are still below the overall allocated funding for this misssion. Actually, despite we have been able to manage a deal with Lisbon and Espoo, and maybe funding for Nice may be allocated, not all the funding has been consumed. This is something that worries me because we may actually find difficulties executing this part of the funding. I would rather appreciate a positive response. I kindly ask you to answer soon to this request as to be able to close the amendment soon.

I believe that it is a rather good deal but I would ask for your approval. This division is currently organizing an event, titled as "Hacking For Good" which is kind of a hackathon/challenge event where they give prizes to developers who create nice applications that bring some sort of benefit to the society. The "Hacking For Good" event will take place next Obviously, when they heard about our FI-WARE Smart Society Challenge they felt like it would be a good idea to establish some link between the two initiatives. After some discussion, they have come with a proposal that looks rather attractive to me. They propose to define 4 special prizes within their contest to be given away to applications that compete in their event that are based on FI-WARE. These special prizes would mean to get a direct pass to the finals of the FI-WARE Smart Society Challenge, getting the corresponding 2.800 EUR. They are happy to fund two of these 4 special prizes, so that they would give away 5.600 EUR from their pocket and we would then be able to allow 22 teams, rather than 20, to pass to the finals. The win for us is that certainly the four selected teams will be good candidates, and we have got places for additional two teams in the finals of the FI-WARE Smart Society challenge without any cost for us. In addition, they would give higher visibility and will advertize the FI-WARE Smart Society Challenge, since it becomes connected to their event. I feel like this is a pretty nice deal and indeed I would encourage other partners in FI-WARE to find whether they could explore similar opportunities in their companies. I would like to get a go/no-go before tomorrow noon. This would allow to incorporate references to FI-WARE in a press release they plan to publish tomorrow. Sorry for the sort notice but it came all of a sudden.

What I can see from your message is that there is a risk that our investment is very unbalanced: focusing too much on Spanish cities and promotion with respect to other areas in Europe. The positive side is the interest shown by so many cities; the negative side is that the EC may look at it as lack of effort in attracting more investment and willingness to adopt the technology from different stakeholders. As you know, I have attended several events lately related to Smart Cities: ? The event called Cities of Tomorrow, with high level representatives where I could explained FI-WARE and FI-LAB This got attraction and I have re-started the relationship with several projects thanks to that. One example is the CitySDK project, where there are around 6 European cities involved ? Last week I also attended a Call for commitments to the EIP on Smart Cities and Communities. The meeting was not good but it opened networking possibilities The message I want to provide is that FI-WARE is seen as an opportunity by many cities and some of them may be ready to join, especially if there is some funding. If you feel that negotiations in France and Germany are not progressing I can open a new working channel towards other cities that allow us to show that this makes sense in a European context. Finally, let me repeat that the EC has organized a meeting of the FIF in Athens during FIA (FIF stands for Future Internet Forum and involves many MS of the EU). In that meeting I have been contacted by Peter to provide a presentation and I would like to trigger bilateral discussions with some MS that could make further investments. I am at your disposal for any additional action I can take.

These special prizes would mean to get a direct pass to the finals of the FI-WARE Smart Society Challenge, getting the corresponding 2.800 EURO.

I believe that it is a rather good deal but I would ask for your approval. This division is currently organizing an event, titled as "Hacking For Good" which is kind of a hackathon/challenge event where they give prizes to developers who create nice applications that bring some sort of benefit to the society. The "Hacking For Good" event will take place next Obviously, when they heard about our FI-WARE Smart Society Challenge they felt like it would be a good idea to establish some link between the two initiatives. After some discussion, they have come with a proposal that looks rather attractive to me. They propose to define 4 special prizes within their contest to be given away to applications that compete in their event that are based on FI-WARE. These special prizes would mean to get a direct pass to the finals of the FI-WARE Smart Society Challenge, getting the corresponding 2.800 ?. They are happy to fund two of these 4 special prizes, so that they would give away 5.600 ? from their pocket and we would then be able to allow 22 teams, rather than 20, to pass to the finals. The win for us is that certainly the four selected teams will be good candidates, and we have got places for additional two teams in the finals of the FI-WARE Smart Society challenge without any cost for us. In addition, they would give higher visibility and will advertize the FI-WARE Smart Society Challenge, since it becomes connected to their event. I feel like this is a pretty nice deal and indeed I would encourage other partners in FI-WARE to find whether they could explore similar opportunities in their companies. I would like to get a go/no-go before tomorrow noon. This would allow to incorporate references to FI-WARE in a press release they plan to publish tomorrow.

The session refers to creative industries; therefore I thought it would be nice to have someone familiar to this topic or at least with knowledge on the GE that have more potential for such industry. The other condition is attending FIA Athens, of course. Let me know if there is willingness to be present in this workshop and who would be available for that.

The name of the session is: Future Internet boosting Creativity in Europe: Scaling platforms, data, tools, services and communities. We are inviting other initiatives that we consider could contribute to the Creative Ring, to present their platforms, tools, services (etc, depending on the initiave) and in particular to link it to the tools and/or services that can be offered to Creative Industries. We would like to invite FI-LAB/XIFI to join us in the discussion. This session is also connected with one of the FI-PPP phase 3 new projects (CreatiFI) reason why we think it is particularly important to have your/FI-WARE/XIFI presence. Nuria, Federico, could you please let us know whether someone from FI-WARE and/or XIFI could join the session? Ideally we would like to have both views but a single person can cover everything is fine. In particular we would like to explore how FI-LAB could be eventually exploited by communities of Creative Industries built around the Creative Hubs. Developers and Creative Industry are not the same thing, but artists/hackers are merging and creating this combined profile for certain type of creative industries (gaming, media, etc). We are also interested in having the view of XIFI, that will provide the federated infrastructures were FI-WARE components are instantiated, as the creative hubs/creative communities will have to use that infrastructure in particular if we are talking about scaling in the future. In practical terms we are asking you to present FI-LAB/XIFI 10-15 minutes (depending on whether is 1 or 2 speakers) with a reflexion towards the end to the session objectives and focus, and to participate in the discussion. I attach for your convenience the session description and latest agenda (working on it still). FI-CONTENT has confirmed his participation. Your input would be appreciated asap. We apologies for the short notice. In CC are some of the SPECIFI project colleagues, including the coordinator (Simon Delaere).

BR THierry De : fiware-pcc-bounces at lists.fi-ware.eu [mailto:fiware-pcc-bounces at lists.fi-ware.eu] De la part de Juanjo Hierro Envoy? : mardi 4 mars 2014 20:17 ? : fiware-pcc at lists.fi-ware.eu Objet : [Fiware-pcc] IMPORTANT and URGENT: Connection of Smart Cities to FI-Lab within Amendment 6 Hi all, As you well know, 2.506.500 ? of funding were assigned in Amendment 5 to activities aimed at connecting smart cities to FI-Lab. It was also agreed in one of our PCC meetings that this funding would be roughly distributed in four so that it were assigned to the four major countries in Europe (Germany, France, Italy, Spain) where we thought we could find good candidate cities for this connection to FI-Lab, meaning aprox 625 K? of funding per country. As per now, not very much progress has been achieved neither in Germany nor France, in the latter case mostly devoted to constrains motivated by the fact that this would all fit too close to municipal elections which slow things down. Although I understand recently from Thierry that a deal with Nice may be closed, it doesn't seem like the whole amount of funding in principle assigned to French cities would be used. In the case of Germany, no particular progress has been made and some initial contact we made with Berlin didn't give results. Fortunately, we received expression of interests from other cities with which we have been able to materialize a deal. They were the cities of Espoo in Finland (involving VTT) as well as Lisbon in Portugal. We have initially booked a funding of 200 K? to each of these cities, since also an amount of 200 K? was assigned to the cities of Trento and Torino in Italy. On the other hand, the expressions of interest from cities in Spain have surpassed our expectations to the extend that we had to go for assigning just 100 K? to fund the activities dealing with connection of each city. With this adjustments, we have been able to cope with the somehow compromise to reward those cities which have make an investment on FI-Lab: Sevilla, M?laga, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Santander. The former three have movilized investment on physical infrastructure to support FI-Lab of up to 500 K? each, and Santander has also donated some servers that, among other things, have been critical to support the operation of FI-Lab until the new servers acquired by Red.es (with the 1,5 M? of funding coming from the first three cities) arrived. The good (and bad) news is that additional Spanish cities are knocking the door and it has became quite hard to distribute the aprox remaining 225 K? among the ones that request to be connected to FI-Lab. I'm proud (and also worried) to tell you that one of them would be Valencia, which is the third city in Spain with more than 800.000 inhabitants ... We would like to assign them another 100 K? ... but then we have another three relevant cities in the row (Zaragoza with more than 700.000 inhabitants, Logro?o with more than 150.000 inhabitants and LLeida with more than 130.000 inhabitants). We would kindly ask members of the PCC to allow us to assign 75 K? of funding to each of this additional three cities, therefore expanding the funding initially assigned to cities in Spain additional 100 K? in total so that we may allocate 725 K? to Spanish cities instead of the 625 K? initially assigned. I believe that a reasonable rationale that would justify this decision is that four of the cities have contributed to the project in higher level than the received funding. As I have told you before, an investment of aprox. 1,5 M? in hardware has been movilized thanks to Sevilla, M?laga and now Las Palmas, while Santander has donated the ability to use some additional servers. Note that even with this extension of the funding allocated to Spanish cities connected to FI-Lab, we are still below the overall allocated funding for this misssion. Actually, despite we have been able to manage a deal with Lisbon and Espoo, and maybe funding for Nice may be allocated, not all the funding has been consumed. This is something that worries me because we may actually find difficulties executing this part of the funding. I would rather appreciate a positive response. I kindly ask you to answer soon to this request as to be able to close the amendment soon.

I also made a mistake when referring to the date at which we should have the consolidated drafts of the sections linked to the document with observations. It should be March 10 and not April 17 (don't know how I came with that date :-) in an afternoon session of our weekly WPLs/WPAs follow-up confcalls.

I expect that for other cities the situation might be similar. I already raised this point in past calls and mails, however so far no document has been officially produced (amendment still in draft), nor other actions undertaken to this extent, and they contacted me because now they are in trouble to manage the admin procedures. If they delay these procedures, it could result in issues (delays) for the project activities they have to do. How can it be quickly ensured (at least indirectly) they will be part of the project?

Unfortunately, our payment formula setup in our Consortium Agreement didn't cover well the scenario where beneficiaries of an Open Call join after beginning of the last reporting period. This was because it was (wrongly) assumed that beneficiaries of any Open Call would join before the end of the second reporting period. As a result, following the formula established in the Consortium Agreement, beneficiaries of the Open Call 3 would only receive a first pre-financing payment at the beginning of the project and they would not get any additional payment before the very end of the project. This situation collocates these beneficiaries in a very odd and unfair situation compared to the rest of beneficiaries, who are getting paid as soon as the EC pays after each reporting period based on results of that period review so they have enough cash-flow to afford the activities of any period including the last period. On the other hand, we believe we should only proceed with a second payment to beneficiaries of Open Call 3 if there is evidence that their work so far will be accepted and consequently the declared costs will be likely accepted as well. Because of that, we asked our Project Officer to provide us with an official email in which he may report on the status regarding acceptance of deliverables submitted by the new beneficiaries in Open Call 3 in month 29 (deliverables D11.5.1, D12.2.4 and D12.4.1). Please find attached below the mail sent by our Project Officer anticipating acceptance of these deliverables. This wasn't a surprise to us since we all know that beneficiaries of Open Call 3 are the ones dealing with branding, communication and dissemination activities and their performance so far can be very much positively evaluated. Based on the acceptance of these deliverables, we believe that we, as a consortia, are safe to proceed with a payment that covers the funding of declared costs from the date at which new beneficiaries joined the consortia and month 29, provided this doesn't exceed the 85% of the overall funding per partner, which is a rule that we must follow in all cases. Therefore, we will proceed with this payment unless we hear about any objection by any of the partners before Thursday March 13, 12:00pm. Please note that we cannot follow a similar approach with beneficiaries of Open Call 2 due to the fact that they didn't submit any deliverable for review in the last month 30 review. Thus, the project officer could not send any message confirming acceptance of deliverables. If we proceed to give a second payment to these other beneficiaries we would be incurring in risks since it may happen that their deliverables get rejected in the final review and such rejection may include some definite rejections. Don't hesitate to ask Javier de Pedro (in copy of this email) and myself any further questions you may have. Again, I would like to stress the deadline for objection on Thursday March 13, 12:00pm.

The thing is that in the end it is a good compilation for whoever. Therefore, I attach the two mails in case you want to keep them for yourself (for further use). ? First one --> you do not need it; basic concepts that you know by heart but sometimes it is good to have them ready for copy & paste and not reinvent the wheel. ? Second one --> more focused on dissemination material and resources At this stage let me point out that I get many things through the interaction with Ogilvy, telefonica and Futura, but this has to be intensified by other partners too. I do not have a clue about what you are doing in your countries: ? Is there an option to coordinate with others to jointly organize additional hackathons? ? Are your national authorities fully aware of FI-LAB? Is there any kind of institutional support? ? Can I use examples from cities others than the ones in Spain or Trento that I always mention? ? Please, help to spread the word!!! For example, next week in Athens I will present FI-WARE to MS in the Future Internet Forum. It would be useful to know to which extend your countries are active and aware about all this... I hope it helps.

So, we are going to order the Second Interim Payment to the beneficiaries incorporated to FI-WARE consortia through 3rd Open Call as follows: [cid:image001.jpg at 01CF42BA.018C5CC0] Note: The accumulative payment cannot exceed the 85% of the overall funding per partner. BR Javier. De: JUAN JOSE HIERRO SUREDA Enviado el: martes, 11 de marzo de 2014 11:42 Para: fiware at lists.fi-ware.eu; 'fiware-administrative at lists.fi-ware.eu'; fiware-ga at lists.fi-ware.eu CC: fiware-wpl at lists.fi-ware.eu; fiware-pcc at lists.fi-ware.eu; JAVIER DE PEDRO SANCHEZ; JUAN JOSE HIERRO SUREDA Asunto: IMPORTANT AND URGENT: Second payment to beneficiaries incoporated to FI-WARE consortia through 3rd Open Call Dear partners, We would like to proceed with a second payment to beneficiaries that joined the FI-WARE consortia as a result of their selection as a result of Open Call 3. Unfortunately, our payment formula setup in our Consortium Agreement didn't cover well the scenario where beneficiaries of an Open Call join after beginning of the last reporting period. This was because it was (wrongly) assumed that beneficiaries of any Open Call would join before the end of the second reporting period. As a result, following the formula established in the Consortium Agreement, beneficiaries of the Open Call 3 would only receive a first pre-financing payment at the beginning of the project and they would not get any additional payment before the very end of the project. This situation collocates these beneficiaries in a very odd and unfair situation compared to the rest of beneficiaries, who are getting paid as soon as the EC pays after each reporting period based on results of that period review so they have enough cash-flow to afford the activities of any period including the last period. On the other hand, we believe we should only proceed with a second payment to beneficiaries of Open Call 3 if there is evidence that their work so far will be accepted and consequently the declared costs will be likely accepted as well. Because of that, we asked our Project Officer to provide us with an official email in which he may report on the status regarding acceptance of deliverables submitted by the new beneficiaries in Open Call 3 in month 29 (deliverables D11.5.1, D12.2.4 and D12.4.1). Please find attached below the mail sent by our Project Officer anticipating acceptance of these deliverables. This wasn't a surprise to us since we all know that beneficiaries of Open Call 3 are the ones dealing with branding, communication and dissemination activities and their performance so far can be very much positively evaluated. Based on the acceptance of these deliverables, we believe that we, as a consortia, are safe to proceed with a payment that covers the funding of declared costs from the date at which new beneficiaries joined the consortia and month 29, provided this doesn't exceed the 85% of the overall funding per partner, which is a rule that we must follow in all cases. Therefore, we will proceed with this payment unless we hear about any objection by any of the partners before Thursday March 13, 12:00pm. Please note that we cannot follow a similar approach with beneficiaries of Open Call 2 due to the fact that they didn't submit any deliverable for review in the last month 30 review. Thus, the project officer could not send any message confirming acceptance of deliverables. If we proceed to give a second payment to these other beneficiaries we would be incurring in risks since it may happen that their deliverables get rejected in the final review and such rejection may include some definite rejections. Don't hesitate to ask Javier de Pedro (in copy of this email) and myself any further questions you may have. Again, I would like to stress the deadline for objection on Thursday March 13, 12:00pm.

As you know, besides the ongoing discussions with Brazil and Mexico, the EC really wants to push other Member States to invest seriously on this and ensure that SME and other players get access to the FI-WARE technologies and FI-LAB. In order to create some demand the idea is to provide incentives at national level, for example, by providing funding to those proposals that include FI-LAB. Check the e-mail below and come back to me with the list of funding agencies in your countries that could be contacted for this purpose. The invitation will be made by the EC, of course. But let's help in speeding up the process. Your answers by Thursday next week. On Friday I will come back to the EC. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions or doubts.

Your presentation at the FIF meeting was quite interesting and the delivery quite enthusiastic! Really appreciated! Following up our conversation on the way back to Brussels, I would greatly appreciate if you could help identifying ALL potential Funding Agencies in the Member/Associated States - at least in those where you (FI-WARE/FI-CORE) have partners. The idea is to organize a meeting with them to inform them about FI-WARE/FI-LAB/FI-OPS - you will be certainly invited! - so that they can consider, even recommend, their use in their calls. Would you be able to have a preliminary list by end of next week, 4 April?

First, I attach the current list of attendees to the event. As you can see, they already reached the maximum (250 people registered) thanks to the removal of the fee. ? Second, we have been asked to take care of the booth in some specific moments during the conference. I will talk to Carlos this evening to ensure that the demos are clear, but this will require some commitment and collaboration from the people in your teams that will attend the event, since we have to ensure that there will always be someone at the stand, at least during breaks. Notice also that set up of the booth should happen on the 1st (I will coordinate with Carlos for this). In any case the important thing is that you let us know if you are attending (include Carlos and myself in your e-mails) and you are aware of the guidelines. On the exhibition - this is especially relevant for the booth organisers The setup time for the project booths is Tuesday, 1 April, 16:00 - 18:00. By default, we provide 2 screens, a brochure rack, a table and 3 chairs. All booths will have just the title and sub-title plus the FI-PPP logo on the wall, which should be kept visible. Otherwise you are free to design your stand according to your preferences. Only the screen cables are provided, and there will be one multi plug for 220V electricity, and one ethernet cable per stand. Any additional cables, power multi plugs, ethernet switches, computer accessories should be brought by the projects. In addition, we will provide Wifi in the whole exhibition and conference area. Eurescom's technical personnel will be on site to answer any questions and help solve any technical issues that may occur while you are setting up your booths - the main contact is Klaas-Pieter Vlieg- Floor plans etc. related to the exhibition are available at https://bscw.fi-ppp.eu/bscw/bscw.cgi/60347 --> adjunto las especificaciones del booth, el plano, donde pod?is ver que estamos junto a XIFI y la info general de la conferencia The booths should be attended at least during the breaks.

I hope that thanks to this you already registered and FI-WARE can count on a good representation for the booth and discussions. * Please, come back to me informing about who is attending on behalf of your organizations and teams before next Friday so that we can organize the presence in the FI-WARE booth and demos. FI-WARE will have a plenary presentation on the 2nd in the morning and will organize, together with XIFI, a session where the technology offering will be explained and we will bring "ambassadors" of our technology to share their experiences. This will happen in the morning of the 3rd of April. You can find the programme in http://www.ecfi.eu/programme-brussels2014/. Details about the FIWARE-FI-LAB, FI-OPS session in http://www.ecfi.eu/programme-brussels2014/session-09/. Let me attach for your convenience: * The plan where you can see the location of the FI-WARE stand in the exhibition area as well as some pictures of the place * An overall description of ECFI with associated coordinates Best regards, Nuria de Lama Research & Innovation Representative to the European Commission M +34 680645692 T +34 91214 9321 F +34 91754 3252 nuria.delama at atos.net Albarrac?n 25 28037 Madrid Spain www.atosresearch.eu es.atos.net [cid:image002.png at 01CF4907.84972390] IMPORTANT - MAIL ADDRESS CHANGE - From now on, please use only mail address nuria.delama at atos.net The former @atosresearch.eu address will be cancelled soon _______________________________________________ Fiware-pcc mailing list Fiware-pcc at lists.fi-ware.org https://lists.fi-ware.org/listinfo/fiware-pcc -- Stefano De Panfilis Chief Innovation Officer Engineering Ingegneria Informatica S.p.A. via Riccardo Morandi 32 00148 Roma Italy tel (direct): +39-068307-4295 tel (secr.): +39-068307-4513 fax: +39-068307-4200 cell: +39-335-7542-567 skype: depa01 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ce message et ses pieces jointes peuvent contenir des informations confidentielles ou privilegiees et ne doivent donc pas etre diffuses, exploites ou copies sans autorisation.

It would have been nicer having a single booth to promote the three brands instead of two project-oriented booths. We have tried to avoid this for the ECFI event that will be held next week in Brussels. This did not work because the XIFI guys do not like so much the idea. It is quite surprising that despite having so many common partners between the two projects we always end up in this kind of discussions that are not beneficial at all to any of us. I would like to encourage all of you (and pass this message to your teams) to actively participate in ECFI and show to the possible extent the commitment of your companies to FI-WARE, FI-LABS, FI-OPS. Then, and after having read the review report I would like to bring some additional ideas: ? Why not organizing a project review in connection with the next ECFI event in Munich? Do we have partners with premises there? We could take advantage to do something more special, focus a bit more on marketing and usage and maybe bring additional stakeholders to make their speeches in some sessions of the review meeting (why not a satisfied use case project using FI-WARE GE in concrete applications?). ECFI Munich will be in September, so, apparently well aligned with the expected date for a FI-WARE review ? I think we have to show technical leadership, but also capability to manage developers communities and bring good examples of the value we are offering to potential customers. Elements outside the technical domain will be as important as technical ones... Just an idea that could also motivate more people in the project, since we are not having plenary meetings that create community building and enthusiasm along the brands (apart from some of us that meet more often)...
