[Fiware-wpl] Request your input for D11.4 re Standardization activity in your Work Package

[Lindsay Frost]

Dear Work Package Leaders,
(and people on CC who are referenced as SDO contacts for standardization)

REQUEST
For the Deliverable 11.4 on Standardization Plan, to show impact of FIWARE work on Standardization,
I ask for your input on what kind of activity _your_ Work Package considers to make to some SDOs ??
According to Juan Bareño Guerenabarrena, updated information will be checked at every weekly WPL call.

BACKGROUND
The plan so far communicated to the EC for your Work Package is listed at Cloud Hosting<http://forge.fi-ware.eu/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/fiware/index.php/Mapping_Cloud_Hosting>,
Data Context Management<http://forge.fi-ware.eu/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/fiware/index.php/Mapping_Data_Context_Management>, Internet of Things<http://forge.fi-ware.eu/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/fiware/index.php/Mapping_Internet_of_Things>, Applications Services Ecosystem<http://forge.fi-ware.eu/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/fiware/index.php/Mapping_Applications_Services_Ecosystem>,  Security<http://forge.fi-ware.eu/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/fiware/index.php/Mapping_Security>, and
Interface to Networks and Devices<http://forge.fi-ware.eu/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/fiware/index.php/Mapping_Interface_to_Networks_and_Devices>, but the EC complained in the latest review in November about lack
of details/deliverables (e.g BigData, HGI, OneM2M, OMA NGSI, others).

PROPOSED WAY TO INPUT DETAILS
Please inform what you plan:
(a) monitor and report, or (b) present introduction about FIWARE, or (c) make contribution(s),  or
even (d)  show a FIWARE demo ?  Of course there will be delays or changes, but it is important to start !

To help your planning compared to SDO meetings, there is  a small tool  in the form of an excel file at
SDO_Calendar_2013<https://forge.fi-ware.eu/docman/view.php/7/1888/SDO_Calendar_2013.xlsm> on the FIWARE private wiki main page https://forge.fi-ware.eu/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/exploitation/index.php/Main_Page#FI-WARE_Exploitation.
The file is intended to remind you when various SDOs are holding meetings so you can easily compare.

You can choose any of the following ways to give inputs:
(a) download SDO_Calendar_2013<https://forge.fi-ware.eu/docman/view.php/7/1888/SDO_Calendar_2013.xlsm>, insert input to ColumnE of sheet "Timeline" and send file to Lindsay<mailto:Lindsay.Frost at neclab.eu>,
          (see the small example in Cell E347 = "DRAFT SCHEDULE ´OSGi Cloud proxy´ Presentation and/or
          Demo of WP7 ´Interfaces to network´ technology at HGI EVENT)
(b) or you can just send Lindsay<mailto:Lindsay.Frost at neclab.eu> some text in an email telling the date, SDO and intended input. He inserts it.
(c) you may want to add missing SDO meetings, just send  Lindsay<mailto:Lindsay.Frost at neclab.eu> details and links to insert.
(d) you may have more questions for the FAQ below

Thank you for your input!
/Lindsay



___FAQ ABOUT XLS file FOR PLANNING STANDARDIZATION ACTIVITIES___


Comment 1: I don't have sufficient permissions to update the excel sheet;



Answer1a: The excel sheet does contain a macro, and some companies forbid enabling external macros. However the whole document still works without the macro except for the "colourful" summary page. Sheet "Timeline" works well ;-)

Answer1b: Some companies do not allow specific FIWARE members to confirm attendance or activities in advance for SDO meetings, because travel is not confirmed or other reasons. Nevertheless the IDEA to make such a contribution can be entered as long as there is significant chance of approval.



Comment2: multiple people work on the same offline document are likely to overwrite one another's modifications



Answer2: yes, this is a problem, but Lindsay is willing (at this early stage) to integrate all contributions sent to him, then he will upload a revised version. Actually FIWARE has quite separate work packages so he expects that within one WP the team members will succeed to "sent around the file to eachother until it is finished" and cooperate well. Perhaps after some experience of the desired inputs it may be possible to "custom design" a web-page calendar instead, but first some data/experience needs to  be collected.



Comment3: information already present in the document implies it is not intended for planning FIWARE contributions



Answer3: Trying to make one tool for all the relevant SDOs was difficult. It is expected that modifications will be needed as soon as some substantial inputs are received from WPLs. For example, it might be needed to make extra columns for the planning of EACH work package, and to install filters so that your viewing can be limited to exactly one WP at a time. But the xls file is a start!
