[Fiware] Members of the jury for second round of FI-WARE Challenges (Smart Society and FI-WARE Excellence challenges)

[Juanjo Hierro]

Hi all,

  As you know, there were two FI-WARE challenges that were launched in February targeted to select the best Smart Society applications (applications pursuing societal benefits) and the best applications which make use of FI-WARE technologies.

  Selection of good applications in the first two FI-WARE Challenges launched last year (Smart Cities and Smart Business) has been instrumental in spreading the word that FI-WARE technologies can really made impact.   Therefore, we should spend the necessary resources to carry out a good selection process.

  As in the first two FI-WARE Challenges, the selection process will be carried out in two phases.   The first one will end up selecting the 20 best applicants who submit a proposal.   Applicants submitted their proposals last April 24 and now we have to carry out the selection of the best 20 applicants who will go to the finals which will be run in the Campus Party Europe event that will take place second week of September.

  300 applicants submitted a proposal to the Smart Society challenge while 126 applicants submitted a proposal to the Smart Society challenge (bear in mind, though that all people from the thematic challenges that will get a score 7 or higher will qualify to be one of the 20 finalists of the FI-WARE Excellence challenge, therefore we don't need to select 20)

  WPLs and WPAs, as well as some FI-WARE team members have already been invited to participate as member of the jury of these two challenges, but we would like to extend the invitation to anyone from the FI-WARE consortium who is willing to do so.    The process should take place in May and members of the jury will be most likely get assigned an evaluation of 10-20 proposals (proposals are not that much long, 10-15 pages maximum if we take the proposals of the first two FI-WARE challenges as a reference.

  Therefore, please send me an email before this Wednesday noon if you volunteer to be a member of the jury.   It would be certainly helpful !

  Best regards,

-- Juanjo
