Dear TSC, I am forwarding you the request (please read it below) from Davide Zerbetto, the Data Visualization GE owner, in order to incubate the new GEri called Knowage. Please think at it as an official request. Few weeks ago, during the Apps technical roadmap, Davide has introduced this new GEri Knowage. In his request, Davide well explained which are the pros of having a new GEri and deprecating SpagoBI. I agree with him that having a new entry is the cleanest option to add this new implementation. I would ask you to give us a feedback about it. I'm not sure how this works usually (e.g. if we need to set a vote to decide or what), but we would like to close this issue asap to have all the Apps chapter and GE things on their places (JIRA issues, and so). How to proceed, then? Regards, Alessandro Portosa ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Davide Zerbetto <davide.zerbetto at eng.it> Date: Wed, Mar 1, 2017 at 4:54 PM Subject: SpagoBI and Knowage To: juanjose.hierro at fiware.org, juanjose.hierro at telefonica.com Cc: stefano.depanfilis at fiware.org, Alessandro Portosa < alessandro.portosa at eng.it> Dear Juanjo I'd like to come back to the discussion about SpagoBI and Knowage, and whether it would be better renaming the GEri or creating a new one. We deeply talked about it internally and agreed that creating a new GEri would be the best option, obviously with an explicit reference between SpagoBI and Knowage, declaring that Knowage is the new version of the SpagoBI GEri. In order to let final users understand this change, we sketched out the process as follows: 1. we will shortly release (end of March/beginning of April) the first Knowage version in github, after that we can create an entry in FIWARE catalogue for Knowage in INCUBATED state, and move SpagoBI in SUPPORT state. We will add all information into the catalogue to clarify that Knowage will substitute SpagoBI and that the roadmap refers to Knowage; 2. once the migration is completed with all the FIWARE deliverables (documentation, Docker image, Chef recipes, global instance…) , we will state that Knowage is the new Data Visualization GEri while SpagoBI is just a GEi: SpagoBI will remain in SUPPORT mode for some other months, to be with users during the transition time; 3. After some months, SpagoBI will be deprecated. This way the great change and improvement of the product will be more evident and the end-user can expect relevant changes as he usually can have between two major releases of a product. Moreover, it is worth to note that Knowage will be released in two versions (Community Edition - CE - and Enterprise Edition - EE). The CE (open and for free) is the natural evolution of SpagoBI as new major release and includes every topic of the FIWARE roadmap. The EE will provide additional features for fee. There are also some practical aspects to be considered: 1. issues on JIRA refer to SpagoBI, not to the Data Visualization GE; we need to distinguish issues belonging to SpagoBI for support purposes and issues belonging to Knowage for support and new features; 2. if we rename SpagoBI to Knowage in the catalogue, and users will look for SpagoBI (using the "Filter" input on the left), they will not find anything*.* This is confusing, in particular for users who already know about SpagoBI in FIWARE. Obviously, we are always available to discuss in a dedicated call about this matter, showing you the new version of the product and even the differences between CE/EE.
