+# Episode Fourteen — Reach maturity
+
+Hii. Long time no read. How are things? After a hiatus of one and a half years, here is the last update on this blog for the time being.
+
+Since our last post we have made it possible to override the default language, added support for reading all configuration values from files/secret, dropped the browser extension and left Twitter.
+
+As usual, some minor bugs have been fixed and the dependencies updated. We have published these new versions:
+
+- [v1.3.4](https://github.com/offen/offen/releases/tag/v1.3.4)
+- [v1.4.0](https://github.com/offen/offen/releases/tag/v1.4.0)
+- [v1.4.1](https://github.com/offen/offen/releases/tag/v1.4.1)
+- [v1.4.2](https://github.com/offen/offen/releases/tag/v1.4.2)
+
+Download the latest release from [https://get.offen.dev](https://get.offen.dev/) or pull it from Docker Hub.
+

+
+### Maturity
+
+Offen Fair Web Analytics has always been intended as a fair, self-hosted alternative to common web analytics tools. From the very beginning, we had a rather lightweight and minimalist approach, not least due to our strict concept of privacy on the web.
+
+In 2019, we started working on the core analytics tool and have added more elements like the Offen Protocol and Offen Consent Tool over the years. We were generously supported in this project by [NLNet Foundation](https://nlnet.nl/) as part of its [Next Generation Internet](https://nlnet.nl/NGI/) initiative. Among other things, they really helped us to refine and further develop our ideas.
+
+Now, in summer of 2024, all Offen elements have reached maturity. This is good news because we are more convinced than ever they make the web a better place. Here is an outline of how we intend to proceed with the individual components.
+
+#### *[Offen Fair Web Analytics](https://www.offen.dev/#bg-explainer)*
+
+As of summer 2024, OFWA is no longer in active development but is still being maintained until further notice. You can [test drive](https://www.offen.dev/try-demo/) it on your system today. Everything you need to use Offen Fair Web Analytics in production is [available here.](https://www.offen.dev/get-started/) News about upcoming releases will be available via the [Offen GitHub repo](https://github.com/offen/offen) or on our [Mastodon profile.](https://fosstodon.org/@offen)
+
+As we continue to see a lot of interest and keep hearing about new installations, we are still looking for new language versions. If you want to support fair web analytics by contributing Italian, Dutch, Polish or any other language version, don't hesitate to [request an invite.](mailto:hioffen@posteo.de)
+
+#### *[Offen Docs](https://docs.offen.dev/)*
+
+Our documentation website is still being maintained and will remain online until further notice.
+
+#### *[Offen Protocol](https://offen.github.io/protocol/)* and *[Offen Consent Tool](https://www.offen.dev/blog/consent-tool/#consent-tool)*
+
+Our consent tool is still available to the public but is no longer in active development. Our protocol is still open to the interested community.
+
+If you have any questions about implementation or ideas for further development, do not hesitate to send us an email at [hioffen@posteo.de.](mailto:hioffen@posteo.de)
+
+#### *[Offen Browser Extension](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/offen-instant-access/)*
+
+Since it is too time-consuming for us to keep up with the pace of browser extension development, it seemed only honest to us to stop developing and distributing the extension. Still, all published versions remain available.
+
+#### *[offen.dev website](https://www.offen.dev/)* and *[Fair Analytics Blog](https://www.offen.dev/blog/)*
+
+This blog post also marks the end of our contributions to the blog and whole website. All content will remain online until further notice.
+
+#### *[analytics.txt](https://www.analyticstxt.org/)*
+
+Our proposed standard to allow websites and services to disclose information about their use of analytics software and user tracking is still relevant. The [draft](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ring-analyticstxt/) will therefore remain online as we are always happy to receive feedback and helpful remarks on our idea. Send us an email at [hioffen@posteo.de.](mailto:hioffen@posteo.de)

+### Keep in touch
+
+Are you recently discovered Offen Fair Web Analytics or using it for some time? We're happy to feature you in this [README.](https://github.com/offen/offen/blob/development/README.md) Send a PR adding your site or app to this section.
+
+And as we will continue to maintain OFWA we definitely need your continued support. Test and install it and share your experience with us. If you have feedback, comments or bug reports let us know and open an [issue.](https://github.com/offen/offen/issues)

+
+Now some may be wondering what comes after Offen Fair Web Analytics for us.
+
+In a nutshell, we want to continue to support change-makers by providing them with independent, fair and customized software that meets the highest standards of transparency, integrity and data protection.
+
+That is why we have a [new presence as a development outfit.](https://www.offen.software/)
+
+Based in Berlin, we're a small, reliable and well-rehearsed team of seniors that can take care of your software project from initial brainstorming to going live. Working fully open source, we value simple, resilient and accessible tools that are effortless to run and everyone can use, reuse and benefit from. 🙂 [Book a call.](https://cal.com/offen-software/30min?user=offen-software)

 It has a ring, gives a slight spine-chilling sensation and generates a whole lot of clicks: consumer magazines like German "Computer Bild" caution about ["Google espionage"](https://www.computerbild.de/artikel/cb-Ratgeber-Kurse-Wissen-Was-weiss-Google-ueber-Sie-2799009.html) just like the internet has countless tutorials on turning off numerous ["data leeches"](https://praxistipps.chip.de/datenkrake-windows-10-so-schalten-sie-auffaellige-funktionen-ab_99652).

-Yet, many internet users still do not know what really is happening to their data. Public relation activities trying to calm the public - as recently undertaken by Facebook [for example](https://www.zeit.de/digital/datenschutz/2019-01/social-media-facebook-mark-zuckerberg-ads-privacy-business-model-transparency) - end up being rather disturbing instead of creating transparency or adding any value to the public debate. Denelle Dixon, COO of Mozilla, just publicly [warned the European Commission](https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2019/01/31/mozilla-raises-concerns-over-facebooks-lack-of-transparency/) about the dangerous effects an opaque apparatus such as Facebook can have on society.
