We can note an increase of projects powered by Karaf.
Apache ServiceMix and Apache Geronimo already use Karaf.

Development
===========
Three releases have been voted:
* Apache Karaf 2.1.6
* Apache Karaf 2.2.1
* Apache Karaf 2.2.2

NB: we turned Apache Karaf 2.1.x branch in End Of Life mode. Apache Karaf 2.1.6 is the latest version on this branch.

We created the first Apache Karaf sub-project: Apache Karaf Cellar.
Apache Karaf Cellar is a cluster and cloud solution for Apache Karaf, powered by Hazelcast and jclouds.
We already released:
 * Apache Karaf Cellar 2.2.1
 * Apache Karaf Cellar 2.2.2

We can note that two Karaf sub-projects have been started in sandbox:
* Karaf WebConsole based on Pax-Wicket. This new console is very extendable and highly pluggable. The purpose is to provide a complete enterprise administration and monitoring console, including a new look'n feel.
  http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/karaf/sandbox/pieber/karaf-webconsole/
* Karaf Cave is an OBR server implementation, including storage, OBR metadata generation, Maven proxy support, REST API, etc.
