+
+## CITE certification achieved
+
+The GeoServer team are really pleased to announce that our long-lost CITE Certification has been regained (for 2.27) over the last 6 months.
+
+OGC CITE Certification is important for two reasons:
+
+* Provides a source of black-box testing ensuring that each GeoServer release behaves as intended.
+* Provides a logo and visibility for the project helping to promote the use of open standards.
+
+Many thanks to all who were involved!  After approximately 10 years, we can once again officially confirm that GeoServer is OGC compliant.  Thank you especially to [Gaia3D](https://gaia3d.com/) and [OSGeo:UK](https://uk.osgeo.org/) for sponsorship covering the expense of CITE Certification for 2025.
+
+For more details, please read the [separate announcement]({% post_url 2025-07-16-cite-certification %}).

+## Community Updates
+
+We list these community modules purely as a service to the community to raise awareness of interesting add-ons to support, if there is sufficient common interest.  They are not "production ready".
+
+How to make contact: browse the GitHub repo ([https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/tree/main/src/community](https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/tree/main/src/community) > module > History) to see who: 
+* a) made the original commit, 
+* b) has been making changes (other than refactoring/dependency updates).
+
+If you want to use a community module (in production), YOU need to arrange funding to: 
+* a) promote it to an official extension (passing tests, etc.) and 
+* b) maintain it going forward.
