Dear all, This mail is trying to summarize the criteria to bear in mind when determining which should be the list you send an email to. Please note that this mail is sent to the FIWARE TSC members, so slightly different than the one I have send to other project-specific mailing lists. As you all know, FIWARE has been designed as an initiative which goes beyond the scope of EU-funded projects. The FIWARE Foundation was created to support the FIWARE mission whose members (individuals or organizations) are engaged in FIWARE activities within a number of FIWARE Mission Support Programmes [1] and build up somehow the FIWARE Community. Certain activities carried out by some FIWARE Community members might be publicly funded but not necessarily. They may even be publicly funded beyond the EU ... don't miss that there are some active members who are working in expanding FIWARE outside the EU (e.g., Mexico, Chile, ...) and why not, they may activate some local/regional public funding. There might be different ways of funding the participation of members contributing to any activity. Thus, for a given activity, there might be some members contributing to it who are going on their own (i.e., as individuals) and some others may be funded under certain project (fully private or partly funded by the EU, some other national or even some non-EU funding program). There might be all kind of combination. Soon, for example, we may have people from NEC Japan who join the FIWARE TSC as representatives of NEC, which has recently joined the FIWARE Foundation as Platinum Member. Three organizations which might be working togther in the Data chapter might be one going on their own, another one under the umbrella of some EU-funded project and the third one under the umbrella of a project funded in Germany. This is not different to what may happen in other existing open source initiatives or industry initiatives (W3C, OASIS, OMG, IIC, ...) We have to be very scrupulous and keep separate the exchange of information that is valuable for all members of the FIWARE Community participating in a given Committee (e.g., FIWARE TSC, or FIWARE Mundus Committee) or a given FIWARE Chapter and the exchange of information that is project-specific. The first kind of exchanges should go through the mailing lists created for that purpose (e.g., the FIWARE TSC mailing list, the list defined to run discussions within a given FIWARE Chapter, the list used to run discussions on FIWARE NGSI, ...). The second exchange should take place using mailing lists created for exchanging project specific info and run discussions that are only project specific (e.g., how to organize a project review). Nowadays, all members of the FIWARE TSC are not moderated, meaning that any message they send to the fiware-technical-committee at lists.fiware.org are immediately forwarded. However and from now on, if someone sends a message that breaks the above criteria, he/she will become moderated as individual in the list. Only after a period during which he/she proves he using the mailing list properly he will become non-moderated again.
