Apache Karaf provides higher level features and services specifically designed for creating OSGi-based servers. Community ========= The community has changed a bit: * Christian Schneider has been voted in as a committer We can note an increase of projects powered by Karaf. Apache ServiceMix and Apache Geronimo already use Karaf. We're discussing with Apache Directory about the usage of Karaf. Development =========== Three releases have been voted: * Apache Karaf 2.1.6 * Apache Karaf 2.2.1 * Apache Karaf 2.2.2 * Apache Karaf 2.2.3 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/webconsole/ * Karaf Cave is an OBR server implementation, including storage, OBR metadata generation, Maven proxy support, REST API, etc. It will also stand to be a KFR (Karaf Feature Repository) and KARR (KAR Repository). http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/karaf/sandbox/cave/ We are also discussing with the author of EIK (Eclipse Integration for Karaf) to become a new Karaf sub-project (http://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/eik/). Web Site ========= Web site has been updated to provide visibility to sub-projects such as Apache Karaf Cellar. We also gave more visibility to the documentation, allowing to download the PDF format of our guides. Branding ======== * project website basics: ok * website nav links: ok * trademarks: ok * logo: we added the TM mention on the logo, and provide new "powered by Karaf" logo * metadata: ok Issues for board consideration ============================== None so far.

December 2010
Apache Karaf provides higher level features and services specifically designed for creating OSGi-based servers. Community ========= We've voted in 3 new committers: * Adrian Trenaman * Achim Nierbeck * Łukasz Dywicki One committer has been invited to the PMC: * Ioannis Cannellos Development =========== Two releases have been voted on: * Apache Karaf 2.1.1 on November 14th, 2010 * Apache Karaf 2.1.2 on November 25th, 2010 We're working towards the 2.2.0 release, currently targetted for January. It has been delayed because we're waiting for Aries to release a new version. We've voted a new logo and are discussing a possible web site design change. We're also planning to move out of confluence for the website, possibly using Scalate. Branding ======== * project website basics: home page is ok * website nav links: we're missing nearly all the links but the one to the main ASF web site * trademarks: not really compliant here * logo: not really compliant yet * metadata: we have a registered doap file Issues for board consideration ============================== None so far. The community is growing and healthy. We have currently two active contributors that aren't yet committers.
September 2010
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 =========== No releases this month so far, but development continues towards our next point release of Karaf, with attention coming from users testing new features and suggesting improvements. We expect to release this new version before the end of the month. Issues for board consideration ============================== None so far. The community is growing and healthy.
August 2010
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.
July 2010
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).
