[Fiware] VERY IMPORTANT: FI-WARE at the Campus Party

[Juanjo Hierro]

Dear partners,

  As you already know, FI-WARE will have a prominent presence in the large Campus Party event programmed in London, September 3-7 in London.    The FI-WARE Open Innovation Lab (OIL) will be officially launched there and a number of promotional sessions, workshops, challenges, etc will be programmed.

  Campus Party is a huge event with big visibility in media and the wide community of geeks.   Several thousand "campuseros" are expected in London.   Last recent news can be followed at (http://www.campus-party.eu).    You can get a clue of what a Campus Party is by watching the following videos:

  The Campus Party London event will take place in the "O2 Arena".  Info about the venue can be found at: http://www.campus-party.eu/2013/getting-to-the-o2.html.   Campuseros go there and stay in tends during the night ... that would give you the best insights about an event like this :-)   However, if you prefer to stay in a hotel, it's up to you.

  As I have said before, Campus Party is a huge event, so a lot of things happens there and we it will actually be a challenge to make FI-WARE visible and gain attraction among attendees.    The good news is that we have a prominent presence there.   Roughly speaking this is the agenda of FI-WARE related events that have been proposed by Futura Networks:

  *   On Tuesday 3rd morning, the following agenda has been programmed:
     *   1 hour slot from 10am to 11:00am on Tuesday 3rd where the FI-PPP program will be introduced and the launch of the FI-WARE OIL will be officially anounced.
        *   It's free to us how we organize this and who are going to be the speakers
        *   Neelie Kroes will be on Monday 2nd but may extend her stay during morning of Tuesday 3rd so she may do the announcement (let's say it being 15' of the total of 60')
        *   content-wise, we shall introduce the FI-PPP, the role and high-level vision of FI-WARE, an overview of the UC projects and the opportunities for SMEs and entrepreneurs in phase 3.  However, presentations should be rather dynamic, forget about classical "business as usual" presentations like the ones in FP7 ordinary events.
        *   also content-wise, we shall announce the challenges that we will launch both on-line challenges run as hackatons (prizes around 3.000 EUR for first, 1.000 EUR second) as well as the other main challenges for which a duration of several months will be given (prizes in the dozens of thousands)

  *   On Tuesday 3rd afternoon, the following agenda has been programmed:
     *   1 hour slot on the developers' stage, from 15:00 to 16:00 where:
        *   we shall have an invited speaker who will help us to attract audience and works as evangelist of FI-WARE
        *   we shall try to provide more hints about what FI-WARE delivers, from a developers' perspective
        *   we may provide some info about phase 3 and UC projects Open Calls and point audience to the booth/exhibilition area that FI-WARE will have
        *   we shall provide more details about FI-WARE OIL: how to get there, create an account, quick tour about major services available through the site portal, etc
        *   we shall give more details about the challenges (small on-site and large beyond the CP)
        *   we should end pushing audience to go to the 1st workshop right after
        *   Again, presentations should be rather dynamic, forget about classical "business as usual" presentations like the ones in FP7 ordinary events.
     *   A first 2-hour workshop from 16:00 to 18:00

  *   On Wednesday 4th morning, we will run another 2-hour workshop from 10:00am to 12:00pm

  *   On Wednesday 4th afternoon, we would run an agenda similar to the one on Tuesday afternoon:
     *   1 hour slot on the developers' stage, from 15:00 to 16:00
     *   A first 2-hour workshop from 16:00 to 18:00

  *   On Friday afternoon/evening, prizes will be given to winners of the challenges/hackatons run on-site during the week

  Besides all this, we will have a booth/exhibition area where we may provide further info about FI-WARE, UC projects, UC expansion during phase 3 of the program, etc.

  We will create a task force (with a dedicated mailing list) where we will work the details about contents of the different sessions, etc.   Please let me know who wish to be member of that list (those who will join be sure there may be homework you may get assigned, be aware of that :-)   We will periodically report on progress.

  I will run a thread of discussion within this dedicated mailing list, involving the fiware-wpl and fiware-wpa about what workshops to organize.   However, we have to trust here in Futura Networks (Campus Party organizers) who should advise us on what workshops may gain more traction.

  We will most probably have also a private room for 10 seats with projector and white board that we can use during the week to run some meetings.   It's up to the different chapter teams to decide whether they will organize some sort of f2f meeting of the chapter.   I believe this would be a great idea and would give people the chance to attend the event.   Please let me know when you would like to book the meeting room for that purpose.

  Tickets have to be purchased to attend the Campus but we are negotiating a number of free tickets.

  Campus Party is our first big external event and we have to make the most to be rather visible.   Therefore, we would love that most of you attend the party !   I would rather encourage that actual developers of the different FI-WARE GEis attend the event.

  We need to know who will go because we would like to order a number of polos that we will ask you to wear during the event.  It will also allow us to determine how many free-tickets we may ask for.   In order to gather this info, please add a row with your info in the following spreadsheet:

  Don't hesitate to ask any question or doubt you may have.

  Best regards,


-- Juanjo
