[Fiware-tools] Ericsson role/effort redistribution

[Andrea Manieri]

Dear All,
As you may recall the decision of Ericsson for leaving the project 
imposed to us to re-think the tasks allocation and provide a 
redistribution of the duties and related funding.

I've discussed with UPM (thanks Juan) that kindly accepted to take-over 
the responsibility on the catalogue and related stuff.

Until now neither Davide nor myself have received any request for 
extra-funding from any of you, nor proposals for any extra activity, nor 
we're aware of any delayed item.

For this reason I would like to propose to devote the rest of the 
funding not claimed from UPM for the Catalogue to be assigned to:
- the re-design of the user experience of FiCoDE and the integration in 
the platform-like environment (details will follow).
- the integration in FiCoDE of an eLearning enviroment (including 
webinars facilities), able to manage SCORM-like objects and being 
accessible from the platform (as courses), the web-site (as webinars), 
the catalogue (as single item).
- the preparation of the material for courses/webinars about FiCoDE and 
the coordination of the training on the Fiware tools.

We assume that the first item can be covered by ENG, due to the actual 
responsibility and role.

The other two items are looking for owners.

Should you like to take the lead on them, please inform the WP by no 
later than wed 27th Feb.

If no volunteers will raise up, ENG will take over also this 
responsibility.

I've already considered some splitting of the budget based on an 
estimation of the effort needed (see table below).

Any comment is welcome,
