Hi all! My name is Manuel, I'm one of the founders of Linknovate; we are
one of the FiWare startups (1st prize, Finodex 2015).

*Long story short: *we have been invited to 2 consortiums of the calls
H2020 ICT-06 and ICT-10. We thought the newly formed FiWare Foundation (see
below) could be interested to participate somehow in our proposal team
(which is already formed) and provide feedback and interaction on behalf of
the FiWare community – probably the easiest way is with a FiWare
representative in the Advisory Board.

More details: This way FiWare community would benefit from the adaptation
and/or direct integration of any developments we achieve if our proposals
are funded and successful. On our side we'd like to keep the conversation
open with FiWare representatives... and now looking for the way to do it.
If you think you could help, please let me know asap – I've tried to get
in touch but couldn't make it so far and the call is due on April 12.

Thanks,

Manu
