Thanks, Juanjo, for the clarification. All makes sense -- my question was mostly related to timing. I thought that the intention of the project extension was to keep the current set of GEs stable and properly supported until the end of the year under the FI-Core contract, regardless of internal business decisions within the individual companies. But I understand now that my interpretation was wrong.

It is expected that GEri products are strategic for their GEri owners and that they will not simply abandon the support to developers adopting the technology. Indeed, one of the benefits of contributing a GEri as part of FIWARE for the corresponding GEri owner would be the connection to a growing community of developers which are providing feedback about usage, etc. Or is IBM planning to stop development and support of the GEris it is contributing like Proton because the FI-Core contract finishes? Note that quality of support to the community of developers is one of the parameters that the FIWARE TC will be measuring regularly. This may mean that a FIWARE GEri may loose the "FIWARE" label and become replaced. It doesn't make sense having a product as reference implementation of a FIWARE GE if that product gets discontinued (may be not formally but in practice) when there are several other organizations out there willing to contribute similar products as FIWARE GEris (i.e., committing the support needed to be considered as such without requesting funding). Bottom line, at the end of the day we will found what companies/organizations are willing to keep contributing to the sustainability of the FIWARE OS community, that meaning they commit to support of a growing community of developers adopting their technology as part of FIWARE, because they consider this part of their business strategy (or their core research CV in the case of academia organizations) or not.

Copying also the (other) chapter leaders, as this might be relevant for everyone. Does it mean that we don't need to plan for having dedicated resources to provide level 1/2/3 support for GEs during October-December period?
