Dear Franck,
I have several questions about FIWARE and its platform. I hope you can help me to answer these questions.
- Are there any opportunities for us to help on the development of enablers?
- Please explain how this can be achieved and if there is any form of compensation.
-> Such processes are not defined today, despite they are under discussion, starting with the possible integration of enablers from phase 2 projects. However, you are still free to contact enablers development teams directly and propose your contribution.
- Can anyone use FIWARE and FI-STAR?
- Can we start our own FIWARE project without the use of a acceleration program?
-> FIWARE is open to everybody so any use, outside of the acceleration program is much welcome.
- FI-LAB: How long do we have access to our node/instance?
- Do we have to pay after the FICHe program is over?
-> FIWARE overall intends to be sustainable. FIWARE lab will at least remains accessible in the current conditions until the end of the on-going-projects (~end 2016). Conditions for follow-up are under discussion.
- Do we need to use the FI-LAB during the PoC phase?
-> It is intended to accelerate your development but there are no obligations.
- It seems that some enablers have been removed from the catalogue. Why did this happen and will they return?
-> Some enablers were removed at the end of last year when the release of at least one implementation as open-source as be put as mandatory. Some enablers contributors stepped back at that time.
- What are the risks when a enabler receives an update? Could it be possible that our implementation needs an update as well?
-> Yes, this is a high risk. I have not seen yet systematic non-regression testing on enablers.
