Dear all, Some information from current UC projects and potential proposals for phase 2, based of course on the projects where Orange is partner and some additional information. Phase 1: it seems that for many Proof of Concept developments or prototype in phase 1, despite the good feedback we had during the Architect Weeks, many UC projects are now working with their own enablers, especially because the Fi-Ware timeline is not align with what they have to deliver. This point could be explained to the Commission but based on the last Review Report the Commisison asks us to state what are the expected GEs the UC projects will use, so it is a critical point for further developments. Phase 2 At least 7 proposals are some follow-up of existing UC projects... and some other proposals are also expected! This is clearly not in line with the spirit of the PPP FI and as big companies which have pushed this program we should have the same objective to fulfill program requirements. We had this comment from the Commission several times that they expect some different projects, pushing us to merge some of them or to introduce new vertical areas especially to demonstrate that FIWARE WILL BE GENERIC ENOUGH! As all consortiums are working separately we will have a stronger competition for phase 2 and we will miss the objective to demonstrate that FI-Ware GEs are generic. The projects should propose vertical approach with their own standards and so on. We have here a high risk to fail at the program level. Conclusion I would ask all of you to check what your teams have planned in several proposals, first to reduce the competition (in the best way: merging some proposals) and second to check what are the Fi-Ware GEs implementation they have planned because this part is very obscure today. Following at least 4 UC projects for phase 2 and 6 weeks before the deadline there are few details on Fi-Ware and GEs and how they would be implemented in the phase 2. >From Orange side we are ready to withdraw from some proposals if they are not following PPP FI spirit and will not support a strong approach regarding Fi-Ware GEs implementation or use.
