Dear Startups, SMEs, Teams, Accelerators, all,

Almost two years have passed since we started this path in FIWARE and, despite the numerous problems and issues, we definitely obtained a huge list of successes partially attested by this infographic<https://www.fiware.org/wp-content/uploads/tabs-img/tab-accelerator/infograf%C3%ADa-accprogramme.pdf>; in addition, the FIWARE Map available at this link<http://map.fiware.org/actors/smes> confirms the great number of Startups and SMEs that successfully participated in FIWARE Acceleration Programme.

Despite this, like all good things come to an end, the official CEED-Tech’s participation in FIWARE Acceleration Programme just finished some weeks ago and my role as FIWARE Coach will officially end this week.
This does not mean that FIWARE is going to end; actually it is the exact opposite since the FIWARE Community<https://www.fiware.org/fiware-community/>, the FIWARE Foundation<https://www.fiware.org/foundation/>, and the FIWARE Lab, are healthy, up and running, and you can continue to interact with them through the normal channels like the FIWARE main page<https://www.fiware.org/>, StackOverflow<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/fiware>, FIWARE Q&A<https://ask.fiware.org/questions/>, and of course the various mailing list available at this link<https://www.fiware.org/contact-us/>.
The mailing list fiware-ceedtech-coaching@lists.fiware.org<fiware-ceedtech-coaching@lists.fiware.org> (the one we are using right now) will continue to exist, but I will not be able to provide any support in case of request.

Specifically regarding the FIWARE Lab, for those who are concerned about its existence and availability, this question from FIWARE Q&A<https://ask.fiware.org/question/460/remaining-lifetime-of-fiware-lab-and-commercial-instances/> explains exactly what is the status and the future plan.

For those who would like to actively contribute in the development of FIWARE Technology, I would like to suggest to have a look at the FIWARE Bounty Programme<https://www.fiware.org/bounty-programme/>.

Concluding, let me just say it was a real pleasure for me to work with you and in particular I would like to thank Grete Gutmann, Nikola Rafaj, Calum Cameron, Rokas Tamosiunas, and in general all the great people who worked very hard during the past months.

Best wished and good luck to all of you!

Marco
