+# Roadmap
+
+We want to keep Operaton users informed and know what to expect next and
+when. This also shall show where the current priorities of the contributors
+lie. If you have other priorities you may share them in our forum or
+contribute changes yourself (with the help of the community).
+
+Our project is a community-driven, open-source fork of Camunda 7 OSS, built and steered by an experienced and focused core team. To ensure long-term sustainability, we follow a clear and disciplined release strategy that defines how new features are introduced, how bug fixes are delivered, and how version end-of-life (EOL) is handled.
+This approach is designed to maximize impact and reliability: it enables continuous innovation while providing users with predictable stability and support — all without creating unnecessary operational overhead.
