[Juanjo Hierro (personal)]

Dear all,

    You are receiving this mail because you were registered as FIWARE 
Chapter Active Contributor or point of contact regarding a given FIWARE 
Generic Enabler (Incubated or not).  Members of the FIWARE TSC are also 
in copy.

    According to the FIWARE bylaws 
<https://www.fiware.org/foundation/bylaws/>, the FIWARE Technical 
Steering Committee shall be renewed on a yearly basis.  Therefore, I'm 
approaching you to ask you to get engaged in the process.

   The FIWARE TSC shall be composed by:**

  * *

    Two representatives of each FIWARE Chapter

  *

    One representative of each Platinum Member (PM) - at the moment,
    there are 6: Atos, Engineering, NEC, Red Hat, Telefónica, Al Madinah
    Region Development Authority

  *

    Remarkable Individual Members elected by the Chapter Active
    Contributors, up to one third of the number of Chapter Leaders plus
    PM representatives.

    * 

*

The FIWARE TSC members shall be also FF Individual Members.

At this moment, the following chapters are considered (corresponding GEs 
within parentheses):

*

  * Core chapter (Orion, Orion-LD, Scorpio, Stellio)
  * Core Data Connectors (STH-Comet, Cygnus, Cosmos, Draco, QuantumLeap,
    Canis Major)

  * Interface with robotics and IoT (Fast RTPS, Micro XCRE-DDS, FIROS,
    OPC UA, IoT Agents, Kurento, Openvidu, Open MTC, Oliot EPCIS)
  * Security and API Management (Data Space Connector components for
    IAM, Keyrock, Wilma, AuthZForce, API umbrella, CoatRack, TRUE
    Connector, Steelskin PEP, Keypass, Keystone SCIM/SPASSWORD)

    extensions, BAE, Data Space Connector components implementing TM
    Forum APIs)
  * FIWARE Tutorials
  * FIWARE Lab
  * QA Lab
  * FIWARE Deployment tools (FIWARE4K8s)
  * Smart Data Models

**

*Considering that we currently have 6 seats reserved for Platinum 
Members, then we would have up to (6+2*11) / 3 = 9 remarkable 
individuals elected, therefore 37 seats in total (maximum).*

*

*A call for candidatures for each of the mentioned FIWARE chapters is 
now open. You may submit your candidature by means of registering it 
using the following **application form*
