[Fiware-wpl] R: [Fiware-demo] Notes of the preliminary feedback of the review meeting

[Garino Pierangelo]

Dear Juanjo and All,

Thanks a lot for these notes, I'm very happy to see that this time the positive points are more than the not so-positive (ok, let's wait the report, surprises might always come there...). I'm also happy to see that there was some positive remark on I2ND too.

Overall, I wish to thank you for the massive effort you have put and continue to put in making FI-WARE progress towards its objectives.  Thanks also for the huge work done by all, first of all the Telefonica Team, and of course the support by all the other Partners and Teams deeply involved in making the project successful. If we look at the different review meetings we had so far, I see that the efforts pay!

However we still have a long way to go, so we need to concentrate on the next FI-WARE challenges!

Best Regards
Pier

Oggetto: [Fiware-demo] Notes of the preliminary feedback of the review meeting

Dear colleagues,

  Here it goes my notes regarding the early feedback provided by the EC/reviewers after the review meeting.

  Overall statement: Technology is there but go to market requires improvement.

  Positive points:

 *   Technology work has been improved and this has to be recognized
 *   New technology implementations - a whole good package
 *   GEs with potential are there
 *   I2ND has improved a lot addressing concerns in the past despite still some references to legacies
 *   IoT has improved also a lot - more focus between integration of IoT and BigData is necessary
 *   They look for the delivery of the State of the Art deliverable as a mean to check how the GEi owners see their GEis benchmark with those of incumbent players
 *   Attention for smart cities is welcome because it helps to bring focus
 *   Live Demo is good - lot of GEis - it shows that integration was not that much an issue as reviewers initially were afraid
 *   The potential of some GEis is backed by the market analysis
 *   Market analysis is very good deliverable
 *   Seems not to be big delays regarding delivery of Release 2 - which is excellent - they feel more confident that the Release 2 will be ready for the launch of OIL in the planned dates
 *   OIL is the very focus and that is right
 *   Indeed, they see a real commitment of the consortium towards launch of the FI-WARE OIL in the Campus Party (providing the pressure they hadn't manage to achieve during previous reviews)
 *   Impression of team work
 *   Consortium shows confidence and commitment specially certain individuals
 *   They appreciate that we are looking for ways to on-board new projects / third-parties although we have to be careful (see not so-positive points)
 *   Overall: quite good impression

  Not so-positive points:

 *   Some missing deliverables
 *   Periodic report should be available prior the meeting
 *   Backlog might be more clean but there are some indications that it still requires some work
 *   Technical roadmap still a wish list
 *   Open Specs that were rejected were improved although still they are difficult to read.   This doesn't only apply to document deliverables but also the wiki.
 *   Validation has to be improved.   Acceptable that is how it was defined in the AB but some improvement is possible there - note: I believe that the recommendations by the reviewers to the EC, explained by Man-sze Li (see below) may have to do with this opportunity to improve
 *   Third party involvement: they like to see the deliverable submitted
 *   Some concerns about limiting third parties to Campus Party is like putting all eggs in one basket so that we have to avoid that.
 *   FI-WARE Catalogue is the window to the world and has to be more appealing and, of course, clear terms and conditions should be there for the GEis
 *   Concerns about attitude towards some recommendations ("we are big so we decide") - note: I guess that this mostly apply to the accountability issue
 *   More needs and effort on evangelism
 *   About expanding FI-WARE to allow other GEis and overall othe GEis from third parties you have to be careful to avoid that what you are going to provide now gets diluted - Useful to have some guidelines/rules about what will be considered a GE
 *   Some concern about how FI-WARE can really gain the attention of the campuseros community - you should find a strategy to connect to the geeks that attend, maybe involve people (the youngers in your development teams) that can speak their same language

  Formal request by the EC: Each company has to submit their individual exploitation plans in few weeks.   Even those who said they would not be different to the already submitted (a letter stating so would be enough).   Don't need many pages, just some paragraphs.   Information will be treated as confidential.

  Regarding acceptance/rejection of deliverables they said that they haven't finished their evaluation and that they couldn't provide us a report yet.

  Man-Sze Li took the floor and informed us about recommendations that the reviewers will officially submit to the EC.   In particular the following two:

 *   They will recommend to the EC that it takes actions to ensure that UC projects really assume their mission to use as many GEis as they can, validate GEis, provide feedback and work together with FI-WARE to solve those issues that may appear.
 *   They will recommend to the EC that it takes actions to ensure that the  OIL/XiFi facilities will continue available after the FI-WARE and XiFi projects finish

  I believe this is all.   If someone else took more notes, please circulate so that we can all share them.

  Last but not least, let me thank to all of you for your contribution to this review.   Let's cross fingers for the best.

  Cheers,

-- Juanjo
