# Maturity Model, Feature Roadmap and Releases

The development of the Open Charging Network is steered by community needs with the non-profit Energy Web Foundation curating the development. 

For this purpose, transparency about the current feature set is required, which the following OCN maturity model (inspired by [Gitlab](https://about.gitlab.com/direction/maturity/)) shall provide. The maturity model and the roadmap of the Open Charging Network development is discussed quarterly during the Share\&Charge Foundation and Tech Call.

The maturity model is based on different categories (columns):

* Messaging: How messages between OCN Parties are transmitted and secured
* Service interfaces: Interfaces that can be used by OCN Parties to connect their services to the OCN
* Connection & Community: Tools for the community to test and use the OCN

Maturity is indicated with different-sized black boxes or a heart:
