[Fiware-summit-program-committee] Minutes of the call 16-10-27 about coordination of the FIWARE Summit

[Juan José Hierro]

Dear Bernardita,

  Please let me share some input for the panel on Smart Cities.  I keep the
rest on copy because it may help to see the ambition for this panel and I
hope this can stimulate others!

  First a little bit of background/confidential information, then I'll go
to the point on speakers I would propose for the panel.

  The FIWARE Foundation is about to sign a Joint Collaboration Program with
TMForum, a rather large and well-established industrial consortium,
particularly influential among service providers.   Seeking for bringing
value to their membership, the TMForum started a Smart City Forum program
[1] around two years ago which is becoming more and more relevant in the
domain of Smart Cities, among other things thanks to the relevant resources
that an organisation like this can put in place.   As examples of this we
can mention the work they have carried out together with cities like
Milton-Keynes [2] or the recent InFocus event in the city of Yinchuan [3]
(btw, just to let you know, they managed to make a deal with sponsors of
the event that meant they paid the trip and stay of more than 200 people :-)

  In their way to find what vision they could develop regarding Smart
Cities and promote among their members, they discovered FIWARE and its
relationship with OASC about one and a half year ago and they found it was
worth joining forces.  They also found it very interesting our speech
regarding transformation of cities into enablers of an Economy of Data.
Later we join forces and developed the new release of the FIWARE Business
Ecosystem GE relying on TMForum APIs, which have became the basis for our
proposal about how to support data marketplaces using FIWARE.   See [4-8]
for a description of our collaboration.

  As a result of our fruitful collaboration, the FIWARE Foundation and
TMForum will sign a Joint Collaboration Program (JCP) where we will try put
cities at work, moving from vision (OASC letter) to implementation (real
pilots and services in production adopting OASC principles).   A
description of main aspects of this JCP can be found at:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/15QSWsu0AYdskMCnlRzIsVKKRWYwYZ
N4B2NoVTQKR_t4/edit?usp=sharing


  This program will comprise a series of workshops in different cities
where specific challenges will bet tackled and we will intend to engage
cities into specific pilots using FIWARE where OASC principles will be put
at work.

  Why I'm describing all this in the context of the FIWARE Summit?

  First, because we shall elaborate about all this during the terms of
reference presentation to give in the Panel on Smart Cities.  I can of
course help in that.

  Second, because Carl Piva, VP of Strategic Partnerships within TMForum
will attend the FIWARE Summit in Málaga and he will be an excellent speaker
to join the panel.

  Third because during recent discussions, we found it would be a great
opportunity to colocate the first of the above mentioned workshops right
after the FIWARE Summit, i.e., on December 15 afternoon and December 16
morning.   We would certainly be able to engage the city of Málaga (I'm
already in conversations with them regarding this) and other cities in
Spain but, why not and through your contacts or contacts of TMForum,
additional cities across the globe.   If that could be organised (I know it
is challenging given the short time :-) we may involve some of the city
representatives as speakers in the panel.

  Obviously, we should invite also someone representing OASC.   I will
forward an invitation to them if you agree (Martin, Jarmo or Pieter would
be excellent speakers).

  Last but not least, you may be aware about our collaboration with NIST
regarding standardization on Smart Cities.   There will be a high-level
representative of NIST that will attend the FIWARE Summit.   I was thinking
about inviting him to the panel on Standardization of Thursday December 15,
but it is one possibility just in case.
