Dear members of the FIWARE Community,

   According to the FIWARE Foundation bylaws 
<https://www.fiware.org/foundation/bylaws/>, which were designed 
following best practices of open source communities, the FIWARE 
Technical Steering Committee is *"the body where technical decisions are 
taken"*.   The FIWARE Technical Steering Committee is formed by 
representatives of teams involved in the development of FIWARE 
components and remarkable individuals, all elected by FIWARE active 
contributors.  This ensures that technical direction of FIWARE is driven 
by one key principle in any open source community: *meritocracy*.

   Therefore, I'm obliged to remind that it is not the CTO of the FIWARE 
Foundation who decides on technological direction (neither at high nor 
low level).  This has also never been the case before.  The mission of 
members of the technical staff in FIWARE Foundation, starting from its 
CTO, is to support the tecnical vision and contribute to activities 
(including  development of technical roadmap) decided at the FIWARE 
Technical Steering Committee level.

   As you may know, the FIWARE Technical Steering Committee meets on a 
weekly every Monday from 10:30am to 12:30am CET and report on status of 
the different FIWARE technical chapters (with the opportunity to review 
the status and roadmap in every chapter every 8 weeks).  Every member of 
the FIWARE Community is invited to join in order to follow technical 
direction first hand, this way ensuring another key principle in any 
open source community: *transparency*. Different Roadmap Working Groups 
emanate from the FIWARE Technical Steering Committee to carry out 
discussion on specific topics (e.g., Data Spaces, AI/ML and Robotics) on 
a more frequent basis, typically weekly or bi-weekly.  These meetings 
are equally open to all members of the FIWARE Community who wish to join.

   If you have any further question, don't hesitate to contact me and 
Martin Bauer, in copy, vice-chair of the FIWARE Technical Steering 
Committee.

   Juanjo Hierro

   Chairman

   FIWARE Technical Steering Committee
