Dear SWI-Prolog user,

In September this year (2020) I have started a company named [SWI-Prolog  
Solutions b.v.](https://swi-prolog.com/) Increased focus on stability and scalability of  
SWI-Prolog and the desire to get into closer contact with real world  
projects caused me to prefer a commercial context over an academic one.  
Covid-19, causing the physical part of the academic environment to cease  
functioning, made the step easier. I do remain associated with the VU  
(Vrije Universiteit) Amsterdam as a guest.

SWI-Prolog Solutions b.v. will continue to develop and support  
SWI-Prolog under the BSD-2 open source license. SWI-Prolog Solutions  
b.v. will establish a context that makes SWI-Prolog a more attractive  
choice for professional projects which may be either commercial or  
research projects. As a first step I’d like to establish contact with  
and between professional users. Possible follow ups:

- Join resources to get things done. “Things” can be technical  
improvement, improved release management, improved documentation,  
tools, etc. “Join resources” can be financial as well as _in kind_.

- SWI-Prolog Solutions involvement to help with your project. Think  
about architectural choices as well as indentifying and resolving  
bottlenecks. SWI-Prolog provides many extensions that may simplify  
your project a lot. Sometimes small enhancements are needed to make  
this work (effectively) for your project.

- Organize dedicated training.

- Consider a (paid) membership plan with levels that provide support,  
assistance and influence on prioritizing development.

Exactly how SWI-Prolog Solutions b.v is going to operate is still an open question. If you care about continuity/development/support/…, or think you have valuable input please respond using a Discourse private message or send a mail to [info@swi-prolog.com](mailto:info@swi-prolog.com). Responses will be handled as confidential.
