Dear Benedikt,

Thank you for your interested in FIWARE.

Now, answering your question, currently you have different ways to collaborate with FIWARE, detailed as follows:

The acceleration programme offers the chance to submit innovative proposals based on FIWARE that could avail of our technology and create applications that generate new businesses or improve the efficiency of the existing ones. This is focused on SMEs and entrepreneurs. For more info, visit our webpage http://www.fiware.org/ , particularly the acceleration programme http://www.fiware.org/fiware-accelerator-programme/ Many of the calls have already closed but some others are still open: http://www.fi-ppp.eu/fi-ppp-phase-3-projects-and-their-calls-for-smes/

Also you are more than welcome to participate in our Hackatons, check often the info on our website for upcoming dates: http://www.fiware.org/category/hackathons/

Last but not least, FIWARE as such contributes the core foundation, that is to say, the GEs and GE reference implementations. These are provided by the consortium members but we have plans to open it up in coming months to open a community. We do not have the governance rules yet so we cannot anticipate info. If you have ideas to contribute to our GEris; please check here What is a FIWARE GEri:
http://forge.fiware.org/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/fiware/index.php/FIWARE_Frequently_Asked_Questions_%28FAQ%29#What_is_a_FIWARE_GEri.3F

Let us know if you need anything else.

Best regards,

Malena

Thx malena !

Anything in the area of natural language processing would be interested getting involved.

Seeing some calls still open - can I safely assume that there will be similar calls / competitions opened again at some point to foster the community and innovation growth ?

Hi Benedikt,

I see. Well, you need to see what's in the open calls to get involved. And about upcoming calls, I think yes there will be other calls open, check this website often for updates
http://www.fi-ppp.eu/fi-ppp-phase-3-projects-and-their-calls-for-smes/

Many calls are already closed but we can anticipate that some will close sometime after the end of the summer.

Regards,

Malena
