   I guess you are referring to the panel on standardisation in day 3.
There we have the confirmation of a speaker from NIST (Chris Greer) and
from TMForum (Carl Piva). I would like to engage someone from OASC but
still pending. I want to incorporate maybe some one more and we are done.
If you have a proposal about a speaker, please let me know.

  That would be very much welcome.

  That would be great, of course, but I guess it would depend very much on
whether they will stay for the following day (next point).

  December 15th is Thursday.   I guess you are asking about the 1/2 day of
the main conference.   I believe that the conference agenda might be of
their interest.

  There is a chance that we celebrate the first of the workshops series
with cities designed as part of the TMForum-FIWARE Joint Collaboration
Program.  That would take place during Thursday afternoon and Friday.
 However, that is not confirmed yet (although we will know soon) and I'm
afraid that it would be of a more technical nature.

  I will get back to you regarding the discussion you had with Federico and
Angeles about the approach for the panel on Smart Cities along today.

  Cheers,

-- Juanjo





Please let me know your thoughts as to come for the day can also be
possible for the Dutch Mayor, but for the Italian one, it is most likely
that it would have to at least stay one evening.



All the best

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.

about coordination of the FIWARE Summit



Dear all,

  You are receiving this email because we have registered you in the
mailing list we have created for supporting the work of FIWARE Summit
Program Committee.

  These are the minutes of the confcall we have had today.

  @All: Please review these minutes careful and confirm whether you
understand and agree, otherwise raise any question/issue.

FIWARE Technical Chapters already meet every week by confcall so this is an
opportunity to meet f2f and do some more work together (mostly planning or
architecture discussions)

Dissemination of opportunities for SMEs, startups and other stakeholders
joining the FIWARE ecosystem and joining the FIWARE Foundation as members

Auditorium

Second and third days

We need to come with an attractive program


[1] Following best practices of open source communities, these meetings
will be open so that any one can join (typically as observers).   I don't
expect there will be many people from the outside joining in this first
Summit but it may happen and nevertheless we should allow it.
[2] Following also best practices this meetings may be open to anyone who
wish to join at least as observers.   In any case, we shall send
invitations to representatives of accelerators involved in phase 3 and any
other accelerator we believe they may be interested

  More details about scope, etc of the program at:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uEwHjW162q3QwSwm4mTNov-
UtdFhuneGPBpIBSacbl8/edit?usp=sharing

  A first sketched agenda is available at:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1t7OyyDahvcsEPajYNjtglxQndDPHf
gD2IeT-3JPhwJM/edit?usp=sharing


  Regarding Conference pannels linked to position of FIWARE in the
different domains (Smart Cities, Smart Agrifood, Smart Industry) the
following pattern was suggested:

   - 15 mins introductory presentation elaborating on why FIWARE is
   relevant and what are the benefits it does bring
   - 30 mins of a pannel discussion in the format of several speakers
   invited to have a discussion on stage answering questions of a moderator
   (no slides)

  During the confcall we reviewed the points where we need further
development and what actions were needed.   Here it is the summary of major
points:

   - *@Sebas, with the support of @Sean*: will design a proposal for the
   agenda of the second subtrack of the FIWARE Community track (Working
   Meetings of FIWARE Ecosystem Support Committees (ESCs: Mundus, Accelerator,
   iHubs) and FIWARE TSC (Technical Steering Committee) representatives)


   - Agenda of previous A16 workshops in phase 3 could be a good input
      - Focus on topics that require coordination within ESCs and between
      ESCs and the TSC
      - *@All*: Bring input of topics that should be addressed during the
      meetings so that Sebas/Sean can take them into account in the
design of the
      agenda


   - *@Bernartita/Juanjo*: prepare panel on Smart Cities for the Conference
   track (see agenda of second day)
   - *@Harald/Sjaak*: prepare panel on Smart Agrifood for the Conference
   track (see agenda of second day)
   - *@Nuria/<someone to invite, may be Oscar Lazaro from Innovalia?>*:
   prepare panel on Smart Industry for the Conference track (see agenda of
   second day)
   - *@Jacques/Federico*: prepare panel on FIWARE Mundus program (see
   agenda of second day)
   - *@Roi/Sean*: prepare panel on FIWARE Accelerator program (see agenda
   of second day)
   - *@All*: bring inputs for all the above (sending mails on this mailing
   list now that we have up and running)
   - *@Responsibles of pannels*: raise needs they may have for their panels
   (beyond the standard requirements)
   - *@All*: Bring input and first developed proposal of their assigned
   action to our next call
   - *@Juanjo*: setup a doodle for a follow-up confcall next week (we shall
   use GTM this time)



  Some questions we didn't have time to tackle:

   - Organization of exhibition area: goals, what to bring, reimburse
   travel costs for people exhibiting?
   - Reimbursement of travels for speakers in panels
   - Means for engaging target audiences
   - Agenda of second day for the Conference Track (we will come with a
   proposal anyways to next call)

  I believe this is all.  Again: Please review these minutes carefully and
confirm whether you understand and agree, otherwise raise any
question/issue.   Feedback and comments are of course welcomed.

  Best regards,
