Survey Results

During the month of October, the Apache Camel PMC conducted a survey to better understand the problems our users have, how they use Camel and what they would like to see in the upcoming releases. We cannot thank our community enough for the continued support, participation, contributions and the wonderful feedback we got. We are very happy to see the community grow, we recently had five committers join the PMC and one new committer joining the project. We hope to see at least the same level of contribution in the coming year and some of you join the Riders ranks as committers.

For those who missed that, the survey results are already attached to the 3.0 roadmap. It was interesting to see Camel used in production for a number of years, but also being recently adopted, used across a variety of industries, by companies large and small, in enterprise wide, mission critical applications. We also took note of things that need improvement like management/monitoring and better tooling.

But you'll hear more from us about all that shortly. With Christmas approaching you'll see what Claus (not Santa, but our own) has in his bag, aside for the recently finished Camel in Action book. Many thanks and congratulations to Claus and Jon for their achievement.
