[Fiware-training] 'FI-PPP Software Architects Week' Event proposal

Dear Carlos, Juanjo, all,

Three weeks before the target date, we don't have a well-defined agenda, 
so I can't tell people how to plan their trip -- if at all.
>From the Cloud perspective, 1-2 hours would probably be enough to give a 
high-level overview of Cloud GEs -- to a "general" audience, not 
particularly interested in details (and not 2-3 days as outlined in the 
agenda now). Plus we would want to attend couple of slots dedicated to UC 
presentations. There is no point in traveling to Zurich to participate few 
hours of meetings, which could have been conducted via phone equally well. 
So, unless we have a well-defined agenda for the rest of the time, with 
committed attendance of relevant people from FI-WARE chapters and UC 
projects (taking into consideration concurrency between sessions, 
attendance constraints, etc), the risk of not having productive interlocks 
is too high. With such a high level of risk, I wonder whether it is worth 
spending time and travel expenses.

Maybe we can schedule high-level overview presentations of each chapter 
and each UC project over phone (a "virtual" F2F), and postpone the 
"physical" F2F interlocks until the exact goal & methodology are clear.

Regards,
Alex

Alex,

In the excel sheet we shared with all UC projects they rated their 
interest on specific GEs for all FI-WARE chapters. What we can and we 
should guarantee then is avoiding overlap of sessions describing GEs with 
the highest scores. 
Additionally, two separate editions in different weeks enable UC projects 
to attend more parallel sessions too.

I would generally agree with your request of more discussions rather than 
plain overviews (in both directions) too although, IMHO, I would be happy 
if we close the significant knowledge/understanding gap on the other 
party's architecture. Later on, bileteral discussions and/or joint 
discussions over e-mail would be indeed easier. 

However, We'll double check other possibilities and we are indeed open to 
consider all feasible suggestions on organization improving efficiency and 
potential results.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Best regards.

Dear all, 

I am somewhat concerned that the sessions might end up being less 
efficient than expected -- due to concurrency between the different 
chapter tracks, and limited availability of representatives from the 
various UC projects. 
For example, the sessions on Cloud, Data, IoT and Security are currently 
planned to happen in parallel (at least partially). 
Can we guarantee that all the UC projects interested in these chapters 
will send enough representatives in order to cover 4 parallel tracks? 
For Cloud (which I lead), besides just giving a general overview of our 
GEs, I would like to make sure that we have enough time for discussion 
with all the interested UC projects on each of the GEs, focusing on the 
way each of the UC projects envisions to use those GEs. Maybe even 
dedicate short sessions (e.g., 1 hour long) to each of the individual 
(relevant) UC projects. But how can I decide on the order, to make sure 
the relevant UC people can attend, and do not have conflicts with other 
sessions happening in parallel? 
Perhaps, it would be a good idea to use the data about expected attendance 
and interest in the various GEs to do a more fine-grained scheduling of 
sessions. Is this indeed the plan? 

Regards, 
Alex

Dear colleagues, 

Find enclosed a proposal for the above mentioned event based on all FI-PPP 
Use-case projects plus FI-WARE team inputs. 

The same event will be repeated in two different weeks or editions: May 
21st-24th & June 4th-7th. 
The event actually comprises two threads: 'FI-WARE Architecture 
Educational Sessions' and 'Use-case projects Selected Scenarios'. 

The first edition (May 21st- 24th) will be kindly hosted by the Zurich 
University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW, 
http://www.zhaw.ch/en/zurich-university-of-applied-sciences.html). 
- The host is providing 3 rooms with 30 people capacity and 1 room for 45 
people. 
- We are currently negotiating with the host a reduced attendance-fee 
(less than 200 euro) covering 7 Coffee-breaks service, 3 (Tue+Wed+Thu) 
lunches and Wifi access. 

Tentative agendas for both weekly events are available at: 
   
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArcymbqnpOfkdGJqeEFlblNEUkdxdkl2NW1sM0FWUUE#gid=0 

   (The excel file is also attached to this mail for your convenience). 

The agenda shows FI-WARE chapters to be presented and, at the end of each 
day, there are 1.5/2h slots available for use-case projects presentations 
to the FI-WARE team. 

Requested feedback at this point: 
1) All attendees are expected to add an entry to the following 
registration form: 
   
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArcymbqnpOfkdGJqeEFlblNEUkdxdkl2NW1sM0FWUUE#gid=2 

    (Sheet 'Attendees_1st Week' in the same excel file). 
   Deadline for registration is end of next week (May 4th). 
 
2) Each UC project available in the first week edition is expected to send 
an e-mail back to me with their availability for the Scenarios 
presentation slot. 
  For instance, "use-case project XX is able to make its presentation at 
slot UC1 or UC2 etc.". 
  I believe Envirofi, Finseny, Instant Mobility, Outsmart and 
SmartAgriFood UC projects will be available for both the first and second 
weeks edition. 
  On the other hand, Ficontent, Finest and Safecity projects will only be 
available in the second edition, AFAIK. 
  Deadline for each UC project to communicate this is end of the present 
week (April 27th). 


The second edition (June 4th - 7th) will be most probably held in Madrid 
(TBC). Further details are still to be confirmed and will be posted here 
during the present week. 

Thanks for your participation. 
Best regards, 
--
