Objet : [Fiware-pcc] URGENT: Proposal by Telefónica Corporation regarding connection of FI-WARE Challenge on Smart Society and HackForGood initiative

Dear members of the PCC,

  I would like to forward to you a proposal that people in charge of the division within Telefónica Corporation that deals with Social Reputation Corporate activities has formulated to me.   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.   Sorry for the sort notice but it came all of a sudden.

  Looking forward your response,

-- Juanjo
