Dear,

Regarding your non technical questions, as explained here: https://www.fiware.org/contact-us/ I suggest you to contact fiware-general-help, fiware-acceleration-help or directly the contacts of the accelerator you are going to apply to.
As far as I know every Accelerator has its internal rules to evaluate the use of the FIWARE platform on a submitted proposal.
Regarding c), unfortunately we don’t have such visibility.

Regarding your technical questions on FIWARE:

a) Technically you can use any authentication method. I suggest you to have a look at the FIWARE IdM generic enabler (http://catalogue.fiware.org/enablers/identity-management-keyrock) which is offered by FIWARE, if you want to use an IdM
b) For sure the app must be implemented in the language suitable for your target mobile devices. Based on what you wrote, I see the role of the FIWARE platform as backend/server side actor. But, the choice is up to you.

Best,
Daniele

Hi,

The right contact for all the questions (except for b) is definitely the acceleration help list. The people on the other lists do not have the knowledge of the acceleration calls and they can only redirect you to them. There is a list that is specialised in the acceleration calls and they centralise the replies to this sort of questions.

Regards,

Miguel

Hey guys,

I have some urgent questions that I need an answer to today or tomorrow at the latest.

I want to apply to one of the FIWARE accelerators, but I don't know if my product would be compatible with the tech or will make it incredibly hard for commercial success.

I'm basically trying to build an Android app similar in functionality to Vine(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.vine.android).

It will have:
1) a login through a social network (like Facebook etc) or email.
2) in will play gif or videos in a loop
3) in will allow users to upvote content

In this case, what is the minimal part of Fiware that we should use in order to be accepted into the accelerator?

Also, a few more specific questions:

a) can we use other API to login( like the Facebook API) instead of Fiware?
b) Can we use for example Javascript (using Corvova/PhoneGap) or build the app in Java for Android and Xcode for iOS without any interference from FIREWARE?
c) can you put me in contact with someone that has build a similar app already with FIREWARE? Or maybe just someone that has a an app with a Facebook login but is in an Fiware accelerator.

I'm under time pressure so please respond today or tomorrow.

Thank you in advance,
Sebastian
