Dear Jeffrey

Thank you for your interest in FIWARE.

Now, thanks for sharing that information, at this point I need to understand first what is the objective for us in watching your videos? We are not sure how you envisage collaboration with us, if you can explain a bit further it will be good for us.

Currently you have different ways to collaborate with FIWARE, detailed as follows. And you are welcome to use our resources, but maybe we are not really in a position (so far) to provide feedback on certain technologies. Technologies are open to all, and during hackathons that are organized you have an opportunity to receive feedback for those developers involved who test and “play” with technologies. See here: https://www.fiware.org/events/category/hackathon-2/
Also, we have already drafted our governance model for the Open Source Community on how to contribute https://www.fiware.org/fiware-governance/
Apart from that, there’s being drafted the FIWARE Foundation, which is a separated “entity” let’s say and this is open to any industry or company that wants to invest or participate. We are drafting the details, but we hope to have these soon.

Also, you can see here:
https://www.fiware.org/fiware-community/

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. If you have ideas to contribute to our GEris; please check here What is a FIWARE Geri:

Importance: High

Dear Sir,

I was reffered to FIWare from an EU Expert that I contacted in reference to my Project. Haven spoken with different people in different countries, all interested in the idea,

the most indicate that it is "New" "Innovative" "Brilliant" however, it all comes down to what was first the Chicken or the egg.

How can FIWare be of assistance? After reading through the information on your Plattform I must say I have come to the right place.

My idea/Objective:

The Virtual Cluster Initiative = (simple) An initiative wich forms one or many Cluster in a Virtual environment.

Perhaps first short intro video from my joint venture partner. Connecting Strategic Partners, SME’s, Universities and Government in a Virtual Business Ecosystem

VCI Platform leverages its capacity on the state of art solutions designed to assist companies to expand

onto foreign markets and act efficiently with the support of worldwide local hands-on expertize.

We use our online and offline capacity with the aim to promote partners and customers professionally

and help them establish reliable cross-border operative links.

We went into a joint venture with Ez-Xpo who provides the Plattform and (we) provide the collaborative / cross-boarder / Virtual Marketplace idea.

On our site we have a stationary World expo http://www.virtuelle-cluster-initiative.de/world-expo/ which shows wher we have our foot on the ground.

Looking forward to your Feedback and hope we can have a call when you have time

Comment by j.kleinp@gmx.de :

Dear Malena,

After reviewing the FIWare site and seeing the mapping and SMEs present, we thought it would be interesting to have a Virtual Expo, with multible resources such as integrated Skype, Lobby for chatting see who is presently online and promote different locations allowing the possibility to open new markets.

I also thought it may be interested in applying for EU funds to promote such a Project using the existing member basis that you have and the Virtual Plattform that we have.

Our Initiative is a combination of visualising SMEs from different locations and allowing someone in another location actually see what types of businesses are present there.

Looking forward to your feedback

Kindly

Jeffrey
