[Fiware-wpa] Fw: Request to Join Project FI-WARE Cloud

[Juanjo Hierro]

  Not sure you can add a message in the rejection ... I'll ask.

  Nevertheless, I will send an email to the FI-PPP AB mailing list (where representatives of all UC projects are registered) telling them that we will reject any request to join to projects different than the FI-WARE project.

  Probably they are asking to join because they need to be able to "read" the trackers linked to Chapter backlogs.   But this is something we will allow anyone world-wide (that is my recall on the matter when we discussed it, but it's also what makes sense to me), therefore they will be able to monitor.   What they won't be able to do (and they shouldn't) is to submit tickets directly to the Chapter backlogs.

  Some people may argue that we shouldn't even allow "observers" to read our chapter backlogs ... Well, I believe that publishing Epics/Features is not a big deal and we have to keep them publicly readable.    I would even add that not doing so could bring some troubles to us in front of the EC (I believe it would not comply with what we committed in the DoW)

  On the other hand, I would be more flexible regarding User-stories and leave to chapter partners the decision about keeping user-stories in separate trackers (either a single one or one per GE) or not.  It would then be feasible to keep such user-story oriented trackers fully private.  The trade off, of course, is that such approach would mean more administrative burden for the chapter partners, but if they wish to live with that, it's fine to me.

  Best regards,

Dear Juanjo,

Is there a way to reject a request to join a project with a comment/explanation?
I've rejected the request below, but wanted to clarify that GE requests should be opened against the 'root' FI-WARE project.

Regards,
Alex

P.S. copying WP leads, as similar questions are likely to arise for their WP projects in Forge
