Interesting. So am I right in assuming there are:

    - 9 bronze level (1k Euro/year)
    - 5 silver level (2k Euro/year)
    - 11 gold level (4k Euro/year)
    - 5 platinum level (8k Euro/year)

...members of the consortium (based on the color of the surround on the member label/icon)? So that would be ~103,000 Euro per year? Or is that signifying a one-time contribution (vs. recurring annual)? It doesn't look like there has been a consortium report published since 2015:

http://consortium.pharo.org/web/reports

...any ideas what that means? (i.e. they stopped publishing them for privacy reasons, the consortium no longer has meetings, the consortium is no longer active, etc.?) Any ideas on what projects they are currently funding, and how many man-hours of programmer time are being purchased for Pharo in 2018?

Its a recurring fee. Of course, its dependent on members feeling they are getting value for money and continuing each year. The platinum level was only recently created.

I don't know what it means that there is not later reports. The consortium is definitely active. It arose because open source software is about people scratching an itch, and often the focus is on the fun stuff and not on the boring, difficult, dirty engineering required to make a product reliable and successful (e.g. operating a CI infrastructure). Pharo arose out of INRIA[1], one of France's publicly funded national research institutes. But their mission and governance structure is not suited to managing non-research engineers dedicated to working on Pharo. So InriaSoft[2] was created to fork off its successful software into consortiums funding pure engineering work on the software as an ongoing concern. At the moment the consortium has one full-time engineer, but hope to get another in the next couple of years if the consortium continues the current growth rate.

AFAIK (I am not directly involved), the main efforts decided by consortium members were:

* Stabilizing 32-bit to 64-bit conversion for Pharo, utilizing and contributing to the OpenSmalltalk-VM project.

* Stablizing Iceberg as our Git/GUI interface

* Maintaining CI infrastructure

btw, There is also the Pharo Association with 82 individual members. [3]
