Ideas

• Define/setup demo infrastructure

• Collect real live use cases from the city and quartiervereine

• Promote the goals of an open and shared IoT infrastructure with a 6 months hacker challenge

  • Have an initial Kick-Off event where participants meet and form initial teams

  • Have a demo event 6 months later where "surviving" teams present their use cases

• Demonstrate the ability to implement real world use cases

• Use successful use cases to further promote the goals

TODOs

• Identify interested stakeholders from the city and quartiervereine with real world challenges

• Decide for demo infrastructure (current favorite: TTN/Loriot)

• Decide on context and requirements for such a challenge

• Check existing TTN efforts regarding security review (for potentially operating the platform on city infra)

• Get proposals for marketing such an event

• Checking feasibility of shared infrastructure: TTN Gateways and Loriot Gateways forwarding packets to both backends

• Checking media interest for such a hacker challange

• Check community interest for such a challenge (IoT, Java, JavaScript, Open Data)
