should be on vote soon. Decanter, Cellar and Cave releases are also in
preparation.

## Community Health:
After Karaf 5 became Karaf Minho, we had several discussions with the Karaf
community and clearly people wanted to have Minho not coupled to Karaf as it's
different communities. Furthermore, we have new features in mind (IoC
container, kubernetes packages manager, ...) that are not Karaf specific but
more generic. So we decided to create a new Apache TLP named Apache Sunny
starting from Karaf Minho and adding these new features and building a
dedicated community. The Apache Sunny resolution proposal has been submitted
to the board (for December board meeting).
