Dear FIWARE Community,

The FIWARE Board of Directors is sharing some essential updates regarding
the latest changes in FIWARE Foundation. After careful consideration, we
have decided to change FIWARE Foundation leadership, including the
dismissal of the current Board of Officers. Although we considered various
options, our final decision to dismiss the Board of Officers was necessary
to help FIWARE achieve great goals and move forward with the transparency,
integrity, and communication our community expects and deserves. We want to
reassure you that our commitment to transparency and communication remains
unwavering, and we are dedicated to upholding these values as we move
forward.

During the past ten months, we have encountered significant changes and
challenges, particularly following the departures of the former CEO, CTO,
and the previous Chairman of the Board of Directors. These transitions have
placed us at a crucial point in our journey, calling for thoughtful
reflection and action. Over the past few months, the Board of Directors,
FIWARE Foundation employees, and most importantly, the FIWARE Community
have worked incredibly hard to address the issues and guide FIWARE through
the complex period. Your role in this process has been invaluable. While
the Board of Directors has worked hard to foster these positive changes, it
is clear that we have yet to fully achieve the progress we envisioned. It
became evident that FIWARE needed to re-embrace a stronger commitment to
transparency, accountability, and improved communication with our
community, a commitment we are dedicated to upholding. Enhancing
communication remains one of our top priorities. Transparency, a
fundamental value for us, has taken longer to implement than anticipated.
Nevertheless, we do our best to achieve it.

The Board of Directors works closely with the FIWARE team to support the
internal and external processes, including announcing the new FIWARE Board
of Officers of FIWARE Foundation as soon as possible. Meanwhile, FIWARE
Foundation operates daily with the team's full support, continuing to run
projects and fulfilling duties and responsibilities.

We sincerely appreciate your patience and continued support during this
time. Your understanding and involvement are crucial as we remain dedicated
to rebuilding trust, enhancing communication, and guiding FIWARE Foundation
towards a brighter, more prosperous future. Your support has been
invaluable, and we are deeply grateful for it.

Thank you for your understanding.


FIWARE Board of Directors
