[Fiware-wpl] Initial the feedback

[stefano de panfilis]

dear juanjo,

thank you very much for your great continuous effort! keeping a
project of 280 persons under control is a tremendous task which you
are carring out in an outstanding manner.

nevertheless, due to the outcomes of the review, which impose
immediate reactions even before receiving the review report (one moth
at least ...), i think a pcc meeting (either f2f or virtual) urges in
order to put the project where it is expected not by the fi community
as these people know, but for the wider audience where we are
completely unknown.

ciao,
stefano
