[Fiware-wpa] Iot and FIWARE alignment_New Meetup Group: FIWARE BELGIUM

[De Lama Sanchez, Nuria]

Hi all,

Since I had so far several discussions with the IoT people in DG CONNECT, they included me in the IERC mailing list.
That group is a very active but today an e-mail got my attention, since they talk about FIWARE.

People from FIWARE involved in such discussions are Carlos Ralli and Thierry Nagellen (please, as already mentioned in previous e-mails, keep me fully updated on this).

So far, the IoT/IERC guys complained about our lack of proactivity. Today I discovered that a new group called FIWARE Belgium has been created. See below.

Some criticisms are pointed out, such as bad documentation and issues about licences (?). I have highlighted these comments in yellow.

I think that better reaction from FIWARE is needed NOW if we want such alignment between IoT people and us…

Best regards, Nuria

Dear all,

As our IoT IERC projects are getting closer aligned with FIWARE:
Interesting development! FIWARE Belgium is not started by any of the EU partners but by an SME in Belgium.
Note the fact that the documentation is not good and we also have to get more clear as to the licenses of Orange and Telefonica after the project ends.

I also urged all of you months ago to start IoT Meetups in your cities. I don’t think anyone has done it but the partners in Sociotal.eu<http://Sociotal.eu>.

This is the new middle that is being build where new formats of quality will be coming from. No one has the time to read academic papers. That output is rapidly becoming totally self-serving , a universe on its own, but not relevant for what is happening on the ground. But of course there are great insights there! If you want to keep pushing them, the Meetups are the place,

Cheers! Rob

A group for anyone interested in learning about and sharing knowledge on FIware, the "open source cloud platform". The group welcomes everyone beginners and experts, amateurs and pros, young and old, etc. I create this group because FIware lacks some good documentation and the learning curve is steep. We can share knowledge, experience and thus reduce frustrations. Welcome!
