Hi all,
Just a few words also from me regarding the review. Generally it went
better than I had expected. However the reviewers had some critical
questions, also regarding WebUI.
It was extremely useful that we have done the execise to reevaluate our
GEs as done a couple of weeks ago. In the preparation, it was actually
decided that I should prepare some slides on the overall architecture
and the evolution of GEs, which also included our changes. This was very
well received by the reviewers and hopefully made it clear why and how
WebUI fits well into the overall scheme of FIWARE. Specifically the work
between POI and CB/NGSI and the potential role that Sync/FiVES could
play in this context was very much appreciated.
A key message in this presentation was that FIWARE is more than a few
highly used GEs but rather that its value comes from the effects of a
network of many cooperative technologies.
The reviewers then asked about each of our GEs and thier relevance for
FIWARE. I think this went pretty well, but there might be changes that
the reviewers would like to see. It seemed for example that they were
not sure whether virtual characters are really needed for visualizing
data in smart cities. Given that they want to see more focus on the core
parts of FIWARE this and related arguments might come up.
However, they made it also clear that any changes will be decided and
implemented by the consortium itself (based on their recommendation). A
final decision should be provided by mid September and be implemented in
a change of the contract.
I am in the US forthe next three weeks but we should take time after
that to discuss the next steps. Torsten will run the chapter while I am
gone. But I am available by email where needed.
Best,
Philipp

Betreff: [Fiware] My notes from the FI-Core review last week

Hi all,
For those of you who were not present at the review, here there are my
notes.
Note that the review didn't close as usual, that is, reviewers and the
PO meeting together and then coming back to give us early feedback.
That part of the review didn't happen because indeed was not planned.
Therefore, there is little I can say regarding feedback from the EC or
reviewers.
The review took place as expected. Presentations on the individual
FIWARE GEs took longer than expected, but we managed to review them all,
giving enough time to individual presentations. I have attached a
version of the agenda we followed, with more or less the timing devoted
to each slot as I recall it.
We reviewed new GEs during the first day, while we reviewed also some
of the existing GEs during the second day. If I recall it properly:
First day:
* Data/Media Context Management chapter
o Metadata Store Management Platform GE
o Data Agregator GE
o Semantic Annotation GE
o Event-driven orchestration GE (currently renamed as Cloud
Messaging GE)
* Advanced middleware and I2ND:
o Netfloc GE
o Robotics GE
* Security chapter:
o Trustworthy GE
Second day:
* Apps/Service and Data Delivery:
o Data Visualization (SpagoBI) GE
o Business Framework GEs
+ Marketplace (WMarket) GE
+ Store (WStore) GE
+ Repository RI GE
+ Revenue Settlement and Sharing GE
* Security Chapter:
o Cyber Security related GEs (evolution of old Security Monitoring GE)
o Privacy GE (inherited from FI-WARE, not still in the FIWARE
catalogue, but planned to be part of release 4)
* Advanced middleware and I2ND:
o OFNIC
o KIARA
Presentations were dynamic, so reviewers were making questions during
them. This meant that duration of presentations were longer than
expected but overall it went well.
It is hard to know which will be the FIWARE GEs for which the EC and
reviewers will recommend to stop the funding. My guess is that
reviewers and the EC will assess the impact that each will bring in
terms of catching the attention of a wider community of developers,
raising awareness about FIWARE or completing the FIWARE offering
regarding concrete application domains. Info about FIWARE GEs actually
being used by the startups/SMEs under the FIWARE Accelerator programme
is an input also to be considered. Quality/maturity of the FIWARE GEs
is, on the other hand, a must requirement to be met. However, they
didn't give any clue on which ones might be those. Some people
attending the review commented that they had the impression that
everything had already been decided before the review, but I'm not that
sure.
Jesús Villasante put a lot of emphasis in that the programme has
approached a very crucial point, where focus has to be in ensuring that
we provide the support that is expected and also that the quality of
software we deliver is high. The potential stop of funding of some of
the GEs is only intended to free resources that can be devoted to
reinforce activities linked to support and improvements in the quality
of FIWARE GEs.
Regarding the presentation on the new communications strategy, there
was some discussion regarding the need to define a marketing plan more
targeted to vertical sectors where we want to deliver FIWARE as a
proposition. It seems like the EC is now evolving so that it is
doesn't want to focus just on supporting the startups/SMEs under phase 3
of the programme but really go to vertical markets with a concrete value
proposition (like it is happening with Smart Cities).
The EC promised to send us an email with early feedback along this
week and come with the formal review report on August 20th. It would
bring recommendations they would like to see implemented in an amendment
that would be ready by mid September.
I believe that this is all. If someone else that attended the review
wants to add something, please don't hesitate to do so.
I'll take advantage of this mail to thank all who worked hard in
preparing the review and also those who participated in the review itself.
Cheers!
