  • D12.4.3 Report on Campus Party Events
    Private Public Partnership Project (PPP) Large-scale Integrated Project (IP) D12.4.3: Report on Campus Party Events (FIWARE Activities/Actions) Project acronym: FIWARE Project full title: Future Internet Core Platform Contract No.: 285248 Strategic Objective: FI.ICT-2011.1.7 Technology foundation: Future Internet Core Platform Project Document Number: ICT-2011-FI-285248-WP12-D12.4.3 Project Document Date: 2014-09-29 Deliverable Type and Security: PU Author: FIWARE Consortium Contributors: FIWARE Consortium Future Internet Core Platform 1.1 Executive Summary This report is part of the dissemination tasks, as framed in the Communication, Collaboration and Dissemination activities of the FIWARE project. As part of the dissemination actions proposed by the partners selected during FIWARE’s third call for new partners, the project was going to be actively introduced at various Campus Party events between 2013 and 2014. Periodic reports have been published after these events. More specifically – and also depending on the own Campus Party dates: • The first report was delivered in October 2013, about the Campus Party Europe in London (held during September 2013). • The second report was delivered at the end of February 2014, including the project’s activities during the Campus Party Brazil in Sao Paulo (held between January and February 2014) • This final one, partially due to the postponement of Campus Party Europe to 2015 (after the project’s lifespan) and partially to the own interest of the FIWARE project in deploying and properly promoting the Mexican node of the FIWARE Lab, includes all the activities that took place in the Campus Party Mexico (CPMX5) in Zapopan, state of Jalisco, by the end of June 2014.

  • OBSERVER: Copernicus Relays Bringing Space Closer to People – the Case of Argentina
    OBSERVER: Copernicus Relays bringing space closer to people – the case of Argentina 1 / 7 Enthusiasm, entrepreneurship & space are in Space Latam’s focus. Credit: Space Latam It is indisputable that international cooperation is an essential condition for reaching global wellbeing objectives such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). International cooperation is also of the utmost importance to the Copernicus programme. With the network of Copernicus free and open data users spanning the globe, the programme is an important contributor to SDGs and economies worldwide. Space Latam, an Argentinian representative of the Copernicus Relays, is an excellent example of how the global community benefits from Copernicus and its networks. As part of the Space Strategy for Europe, the European Commission established a network of Copernicus ambassadors: the Copernicus Relays. These act as local champions, coordinating and promoting activities related to the Copernicus programme, bringing benefits and opportunities for 2 / 7 people, businesses, start-ups, researchers and governments. Space Latam, the Copernicus Relay in Argentina, was one of the earliest organisations to enter the Copernicus Relay network. The organisation submitted their application to join the network in 2016, just months after the official launch of the Copernicus Relay and Copernicus Academy networks in Brussels. When applying, José Bosleman Medina, the Director of the Argentinian Copernicus Relay- to-be, modestly mentioned that Space Latam people are volunteers with almost no budget available to finance their activities, but reassured the reviewers that he had a fantastic, hard-working team with great potential, energy and network. Space Latam far exceeded expectations and now has a large team of young experts who provide support to Argentinian start-ups and SMEs in the space sector through mentoring, hackathons, workshops and other initiatives.

  • Final Edition: Journalism According to Jack and Jim Knight
    Final Edition: Journalism According to Jack and Jim Knight John S. (Jack) and James (Jim) Knight were Akron brothers and prominent national figures, who owned and ran the Akron Beacon Journal newspaper in the 1900s. The two brothers, who inherited the Beacon Journal from their father, worked together to build up that newspaper into a strong editorial voice and business force that helped steer the city and the region. Eventually, the two parlayed the Akron paper into the flagship of a powerful, influential newspaper chain that included the Miami Herald, Detroit Free Press, San Jose Mercury News and the Philadelphia Inquirer. By 1981, the Knight-Ridder newspaper chain included 32 newspapers in 17 states, employed 15,000 workers and had a circulation of 3.6 million daily. The brothers also founded the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation (Miami), which remains one of the largest philanthropic organizations in the nation. Knight-Ridder Newspapers did not fare as well. The prize-winning newspaper group, at one time the nation's largest, was sold to the McClatchy Co. in 2006 for $4.5 billion in cash and stock. Since then, McClatchy has sold off 12 Knight-Ridder newspapers to other corporations. The Beacon Journal was sold to Black Press Ltd., a Canadian publishing company. The hour-long documentary tells the story of the Knight family, the Beacon Journal and the rise and fall of the Knight-Ridder newspaper group. The documentary was written and produced by Paul Jacoway, of Paul R. Jacoway Productions of Akron, and Kathleen Endres, distinguished professor of Communication at The University of Akron, and directed by Jacoway.
