Community
=========
We added the following committers:
 *  Hiram Chirino
 *  James Strachan
 *  Ioannis Canellos
James and Hiram were committers before we moved to TLP and asked 
to get their committership back, so they've been voted in back.  
Ioannis is a new Apache committer.
We also have other active contributors, so we expect some new
committers in the coming months.

Development
===========
Development continues towards our next point release of Karaf, 
with attention coming from users testing new features and 
suggesting improvements.

Issues for board consideration
==============================
None so far.  The community is growing and healthy.

Since the last July report, Apache Karaf 2.0.0 has been released.

Several patches have been supplied by contributors, but due to the 
holiday season, development has slowed down a bit during the past 
weeks.

It has been only a few weeks since the Karaf TLP has been established,
but the activity level is very high.   All resources have been set up
by infra (thx) and we have moved the opened JIRA issues and svn tree
from Felix to Karaf.

We've already received some patches from non developers, so I expect
the community to grow very soon.

We haven't released anything yet, and we're waiting for trunk to 
stabilize before releasing a 2.0 (new major version due to package
renaming).
