[Fiware] Cross-WP collaboration

[Alex Glikson]

As Juanjo suggested, this invites a more general discussion on cross-WP
collaboration. It could be useful to understand what each WP needs from
other WPs. Personally, I think the following items could be relevant:
1. Gain general understanding of the scope of other WPs, identify
potentials inter-dependencies
2. Keep track of progress of related WPs -- requirements, design, etc
3. Interlock on specific inter-dependencies
4. Review relevant parts of relevant documents produced by other WPs
5. Code integration

In my opinion, subscribing to the working mailing lists of the related work
packages does not serve well either of the above goals. Maybe we can think
of a more efficient scheme to collaborate across work-packages -- perhaps,
a combination of email, Web site (blogs, wiki, etc), periodic conference
calls and/or F2F meetings, etc.

Thoughts?

Regards,
Alex

  I believe that decision on who should be in each list is up to the WP
Leader.

  I don't see that it is a bad practice that partners other than the one
officially involved in a WP are registered in that WP's mailing list.   But
I'm not religious on this.

  I copy the fiware list because I believe that the issue is common and the
response is also relevant for other WPs.

  Best regards,

      Dear Alex,

      you are right, Siemens is not actively involved in this WP. I
      subscribed to this WP in order to understand the implications for WP6
      (data/context management services) informally. In case we only have
      the active contributors on the WP lists, we should have some other
      (more formal) means to exchange information between WPs. Plenary
      meetings might not be enough IMO.

      Juanjo, is there a general rule how we should handle this?

      Kind regards
       Peter

      PS: To make it clear: I do not have problems not being on this list
      (less emails to read :-). I was just wondering about "cross-WP
      information exchange".

            Hi,

            While reviewing the list of subscribers to the fiware-cloud
            mailing list,
            I've noticed your email address..
            I'm not aware of the involvement of your company in this work
            package, so I
            have unsubscribed you from the mailing list.

            Please, let me know if you do plan to be actively involved.

            Thanks,
            Alex Glikson
