\begin{frame}{Status}
\begin{block}{Successful Open Source Project}
\begin{itemize}
\item WR concepts now part of IEEE Std 1588-2019.
\item WR redefined to mean an open-source implementation of the
High-Accuracy profile guaranteeing 1 ns accuracy and the friendly
community around this development.
\end{itemize}
\end{block}
\pause
\begin{block}{The threat of ``catastrophic success''}
\begin{itemize}
\item Delegating support to WR commercial providers was part of our
scalability strategy but did not really work.
\item Some WR developers at CERN moved on to other projects.
\item This combined with the increasing uptake of the technology in many
areas raises a sustainability issue.
\end{itemize}
\end{block}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}{Plans}
\begin{block}{Technical}
\begin{itemize}
\item Work on WR PTP Core v5 release, consolidating more than 100 branches.
\item Design WR Switch v4, featuring a Xilinx Zynq Ultrascale+ SoC.
\item Further down the line: seamless redundancy, better support for
long-distance synchronisation, applications\ldots
\end{itemize}
\end{block}
\pause
\begin{block}{Organisational}
\begin{itemize}
\item Segregate general and CERN-specific developments.
\item Ensure both are properly staffed.
\item Launch WR Collaboration with the aim of ensuring the sustainability
of the open-source core of the technology.
\end{itemize}
