## Description: 

 

Apache Felix is a project aimed at implementing specifications from the 

OSGi Alliance as well as implementing other supporting tools and 

technologies aligned with OSGi technology.

 

## Issues: 

 

 - There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

 

## Activity:

 

 - Existing implementations have been improved/enhanced based on 

community feedback. 

 - We continued to receive patches and bug reports from various new 

users/contributors.

 - Effort ongoing to implement the upcoming OSGi R7 specifications.

 - Busy adapting the framework to Java 9 and JPMS (framework 5.6.10 was

and important milestone in this regard).

 - Accepted BAR file installer contribution from Intel (ip-clearance pending).

 - Released 17 components (including the framework).

 - A new PMC chair was accepted by the board last month (Karl Pauls).

 

## Health report: 

 

- Overall the project is in good health. 

- Questions on the user list are answered, development concerns are 

either discussed on the mailing list or directly in the JIRA issues.

- The project as well as the OSGi community in general is still in the 

process of adapting to JPMS and its long term impact. 

- We need to focus on adding a new pmc member and attracting new 

committers (hopefully the required work on OSGi R7 will attract some).

However, we had no issues voting on 17 releases and JIRA issues are

generally addressed promptly.
